Kingston HyperX Predator 240GB PCIe Gen2 x4 SSD on Massdrop, anything bad about it?

[Rorgash]

yea, so there are always products that just doesn't perform as well as they should so wondering if there is something wrong with this, its pretty damn cheap for one, usually we have about the same price in store as on other sites while on sale so haven't looked at tech for import for a while but this is a very good deal.

Nope. Pretty OK.

HyperX drives are pretty solid, I'd say.

The HyperX Predator had no problem reaching advertised speeds once the test got around to the higher data sizes.

Down at the 1K and 4K testing, the HyperX Predator again fell behind the Patriot Ignite and Samsung 850 Pro.

Now, for the age old question, should you buy this SSD? Are you simply looking for a new OS drive for some standard web browsing, office use, gaming, and minor content creation? If so, then we wouldn’t recommend this SSD for you. Our PCMark 8 performance results reinforce this point. The HyperX Predator is an SSD for those who are doing high amounts of multitasking, loading large modded game files, content creation, and other high speed storage dependent workloads such as running multiple virtual machines, basically the enthusiast/prosumer crowd.

Do research and compare ALL metrics to other SSD's, not just sequential read and writes, but 4K read and writes as well as the endurance and such.
