Good SSD. Runs hot, compared to non RGB SSDs

Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2019

As others have said, this card DOES run hot, compared to SSDs that do not have RGBs.

I have one of these housed in my, Corsair - 750D ATX Full Tower Case. I also have a, Kingston - SSDNow V300 Series 120 GB (non RGB), that I use for my Windows 10 boot drive, with nothing else on that pretty much. And the temps are as follows thus far, between the two, on average:

Kingston - SSDNow V300 Series 120 GB (non RGB) - 29 C

HyperX Fury RGB SSD 240GB - 41 C

That really is a difference. However I use the Hyper X RGB SSD for games that are known for having very long load times on HDDs, and I have not had any issues with it at all at this time, and I have been using this for over a month now.

You really are paying for the looks of this SSD. The storage plays 2nd fiddle. This RGB SSD is meant to be seen, and with as many lights as they used, it really is nothing out there like it , that comes this close, in terms of how nice it looks.

I will be buying another one, with greater storage capacity for my needs.

Watched a review on YouTube that this storage has 75 LED lights in it causing it to overheat and become useless. I removed it from my newly built gaming rig BEFORE I even booted it up. I recommend others to do research and make that call themselves.

Love it so far!

Purchased as another dedicated drive for games. Drive is fast as needed for that purpose, but if you're after speed for the money, you likely already know this is not the right drive for you, as there is some cheaper drives that outperform this drive, though for general purpose computing, and gaming, it's more than fast enough. The RGB aspect is this drives strong selling point, and looks great(would love to have a couple more for Raid setup). Overall this drive more than meets expectations. If you don't mind the extra $20-$30 for lighting effects, and sacrifice a small amount of performance, this is a pretty cool drive. If you're after sheer performance, you may look more toward the Crucial MX500 series.

Buy an extra sata Cable.

I purchased this drive "new" and installed it first thing I noticed was there was no sata Cable after locating one and installing drive I realized that it had some data on it from a previous user for some reason so I don't know how much use this drive has had but I am hoping that it will last a while before failure.i recently just completed this project and performance seems to be good and rgb is really cool too.

Well made and looks great!

If you want an SSD to look cool behind glass there are not many options as i write this review. This is the coolest one in my opinion. It is not the fastest SSD on the market but it has respectable read and write speeds compared to other SSD's. If you just want an SSD there are cheaper better options. If you want a cool RGB SSD. Look no farther.

I bought this only for the RGB and to replace my 120gb boot drive.

Works good with msi gaming software.

Great SSD! I have a fan blowing across it so it stays nice and cool, no overheating issues here! Crystalldiskinfo reads 34C for the drive.

No SATA Cable

Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2018

Capacity: Single DriveStyle: 240GVine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

After taking this product i noticed 1 issue right off the bat. It did not come with a SATA cable. luckily i had a spare from an old computer. After hooking up the power and SATA cables i placed the SSD in the drive tray and pushed it back into the case slot. turned on the computer and the SSD RGB lights lit up red. Unfortunately i can not change the color of the SSD because i do not have an RGB control built into my computer. Though now i might be convinced to go buy one.

once the computer was booted up and loaded into windows i went to the Kingston web site to download and install the Acronis software for the SSD. This didn't take long, once the install was complete i opened the program and began setting up the SSD for my computer.

After putting in the Software key for the SSD, the Main menu prompt for the program was available. after taking some time to navigate the program i found the folder to partition the new SSD for my computer. This was easy and fast to use to get it set up.

The Acronis program also comes with the feature to clone your primary boot hard drive, in the event that your drive and or computer cease to boot up, this feature will allow your to override your main boot drive and use the clone drive to get your computer up and running again. Other features of the program include rescue media builder and Acronis universal restore.

Overall this SSD seems to be a pretty decent product. My only grip is that is did not come with the SATA cable.

Biggest improvement I made to my pc

Upgrading from a HDD to a SSD greatly increases the boot up and shut down times of a PC. This SSD was also on the qualified vendor list from Asus (my motherboard manufacturer).

Hot Rgb Mess!

Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2019

Capacity: Single DriveStyle: 480GVerified Purchase

Would of been cool if it didn't get so hot and mess up! Also bought this when it launched and it was way more for the price. I'm glad that I'm not the only person with this issue. Wouldn't recommend this drive. If you have this drive, switch to another drive for your o.s and important files! I love HyperX but this one was a flop. Also note the drive has 3 wires. Sata power,sata data, and micro usb. It cant be mounted from the left side as well.
