Operating speed
According to the understanding of the writer, to obtain very large capacity and fast read/write high, Kingston had to graft to eight 64GB NAND chip that creates the USB “monster” is. And theoretically, with the device in Flash, as well as many chip speed will be. Perhaps that’s why Kingston HyperX Predator is confident statement the speed of read / write turn to 240MB/s and 160MB/s.
Kingston 512GB HyperX Predator is a manufacturer and preformatted NTFS on Windows 7 64-bit get 478 GB capacities. The difference in size is quite normal due to the calculation of the size of the storage device manufacturers such as memory cards, USB hard drives a little different than the calculation of the operating system.
To test the speed of 512GB HyperX Predator, we insert this USB drive into a USB 3.0 port on a desktop computer equipped with Intel Core i7 4790, 16GB DDR3 RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GT 740 2GB DDR5 128bit , SATA3 7200rpm 1TB WD hard drive, motherboard MSI H97 GAMING 3, Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64bit.
In the test the speed of read / write of HyperX Predator, we use the benchmark is Crystal DiskMark software, HD Tach and HD Tune Pro. Besides, we also conduct real test by performing two tests, copying files. The first test performed on the MP4 format video file weighs 1GB. The second test performed on the 748MB folder containing 247 heavy JPG files.
Results returned from Crystal DiskMark software showed good speed when reading and writing HyperX Predator is the highest of 292.1 MB / s and 199.5 MB / sec in the test read / write files sequentially (simulator copying or writing files to the card), while the lowest was 15.11 MB / s and 1.746 MB / s when the test speed random access card (emulator for accessing the file storage space scattered low USB or rewind time back and forth while watching movies, listening to music).
HD Tach results measured with very positive. Average read speed of up to 333.5 MB / s, random access time of 0.3 ms and only data transfer rate also reached an impressive 314.3 MB / s.
HD Tune Pro software, the average read speed of HyperX Predator is also very good, up to 318.2 MB / s, random access time just 0.298 ms, the data transfer rate reaching 134.3 MB / s .
In practical tests, when performed copy files from the computer to the HyperX Predator to test the write speed of the USB drive, in the first test speed recorded was 94 MB / s and acceleration tests Monday received the 52 MB / s. Each test we performed 5 times and then take the results averaged to obtain the most accurate results.
Still in actual tests, when performed HyperX Predator copy files from the computer to check the speed of the USB reader, the speed achieved is 132 MB / s for the first test and 108 MB / s with second test.
Through the above test, the Kingston HyperX Predator can see 512GB has very good performance, close to the speed with which the manufacturer announced even higher in some cases. During our testing, this USB drive stable performance, no crashes or with any delay in the process of retrieving data.
