Kingston HyperX Fury 240GB

The presentation is simple in a cardboard box and a plastic blister that helps us visualize the solid state disk. The bundle is summarized on the SSD and on a brand sticker, we miss a 2.5 ″ to 3.5 ″ adapter.

The dimensions are the usual 2.5 ”= 9.5 x 7 mm with a carbon gray metal casing that is perfect for installation on any laptop or ultrabook.

The Fury 240GB uses the SandForce SF2281 controller which will offer its well-known quality, performance and excellent price. It uses a firmware similar to that of the V300 series, 16 CI NAND and 128GBit ONFI ICs 3 NAND that will assure us a very remarkable performance with respect to the previous series. As we have seen in other brands, smaller disks tend to be somewhat slower compared to the largest for its components and its level of debugging.
