While I certainly have seen some down right fast USB 3.0 devices in various shapes and forms, none have had insane write speeds to go along with those crazy read speeds. Well Kingston definitely feels my need for speed, and has coupled one of their monster internal SSDs to a USB 3.0 controller and called the resulting device their HyperX Max 3.0. On paper, the HyperX Max 3.0 is a device that should offer great write as well as great read speeds, but is the reality the same as the theory? Let's see exactly how good the Kingston 128GB HyperX Max USB 3.0 SSD drive really is! Now, read on for my full review.

The Verdict:
The Kingston 128GB HyperX Max 3.0 is one mean machine! It has both the performance and the looks to make even the most cynical consumer lust after it. With a price tag of about $300 it is actually pretty cheap considering all the power it offers; making the HyperX Max 3.0 a darn near perfect trifecta!

The Good:
+ Great Performance
+ Good looks
+ Durable all metal design
+ Good, powerful controller built in
+ Very Portable

The Bad:
- Price, while decent is still a lot
- No power On/Off switch for drive
- Does not come with any software
