Sydney, Australia – Nov 25, 2010 --Kingston
Digital, Inc., the Flash memory affiliate of Kingston Technology Company, Inc.,
the independent world leader in memory products, today announced the HyperX MAX
3.0 External USB 3.0 Drive. Shipping in December, the SuperSpeed USB certified
HyperX MAX 3.0 drive is a fast and durable external USB 3.0 storage drive.
SuperSpeed USB is the specification delivering USB 3.0 transfer speeds up to 10
times faster than USB 2.0.
Kingston’s HyperX MAX 3.0 has a read speed of
up to 195MB/sec., and a write speed of up to 160MB/sec., when paired with a USB
3.0 compatible device. It is also fully compatible with USB 2.0 devices, as the
speed defaults back to USB 2.0 capability. During internal testing, a 10GB movie
file was transferred in only 1 minute, 12 seconds to the HyperX MAX 3.0 from a
USB 3.0 system*. The transfer time increased to 5 minutes, 52 seconds using a
USB 2.0 port with the same test bed.
HyperX MAX 3.0 is an excellent
drive solution for any prosumer, computer enthusiast or professional requiring
extremely fast file transfer to their PC with portability requirements. Moving
or backing up HD video, RAW images or other large project files are examples
that can take advantage of the extremely high-speed data transfers of the USB
3.0 interface.
“The HyperX MAX 3.0 External USB 3.0 Drive follows the
tradition of Kingston’s HyperX enthusiast DRAM family providing users with
premium quality and extreme performance,” said Nathan Su, Flash Memory Sales
Director, APAC Region, Kingston. “In addition to portability and speed, users
will be pleased with the durability of this drive. Its Flash memory-based
architecture is designed for the rigors of mobile use.”
With a three-year
warranty and backed by Kingston’s legendary free technical service and support,
the HyperX MAX 3.0 is available in 64GB, 128GB and 256GB capacities and is sold
through Kingston’s authorised channel of distributors and resellers.. For
