HyperX Fury SSD 480GB: unboxing and design

Kingston makes a basic presentation in a cardboard box and a plastic blister. From the cover we can see the HyperX Fury SSD of 480 GB. In the upper right area we can see that the reading and writing has gone up to 500 MB / s and that it has a 3-year guarantee.

Once we open the bundle we find:

480GB HyperX Fury disk. Plastic backplate with adhesive. Sticker.

Its format is 2.5 inches through the traditional SATA connection and has dimensions 69.9 mm x 100.1 mm x 7.0 mm that these discs have accustomed us to. Its weight does not exceed 60 grams and it has a metal structure that serves as support as refrigeration .

View of the other side of the SSD, the SATA connectors for power and data transfer.

Among its technical specifications we find a "veteran" controller, the Sandforce SF2281 and NAND memory chips that make this unit the promised 480 GB.

We continue talking about the memories and that is that we have a reading of 500 MB / s and a writing of 500 MB / s equaling in characteristics to the competition of discs. For this reason, we recommend you read our guide to the best SSDs of the moment, which we detail everything you need to know.

Regarding electricity consumption, we have 0.2W at rest and 3W when it is at maximum power writing. It also supports operating temperatures between 0ºC to 70ºC. Finally, point out that its MTBF 1 million hours and is resistant to vibrations of up to 20 G.

Final words and conclusion about HyperX Fury SSD 480GB

HyperX has given the Fury SSD series a good facelift with the addition of the 480GB drive. To continue competing, the performance of memory chips has been improved to 500 MB / s read and write.

In our tests it has offered the promised results in reading but it seems that the writing needs to be debugged a bit with a new firmware (we point out that it falls within the values established by the manufacturer). Even so, it becomes one of the most advisable options today. Currently it can be found in online stores for an approximate price of 152 euros.
