Looking at the available technical specifications, the only item missing is the detail on the 3K 25nm Intel MLC NAND flash. This NAND flash is endurance rated for 3,000 program/erase (or P/E) cycles

Kingston HyperX 3K 120GB review

A good-looking and reasonable-value drive, but there are cheaper and quicker rivals

The HyperX at least manages to outpace the Crucial drive when it comes to accessories. The M4 doesn’t include any extras in the box, so you may have to budget extra for a 2.5in to 3.5in bracket to fit the SSD in your case - the Kingston 3K has one in...

Kingston HyperX 3K 120GB Review

We find out where Kingston's value orientated SSD stands in an increasingly tough market.

The Kingston HyperX 3K 120GB didn’t impress when it came to our benchmarks then, returning well below-average results in most of our tests and being throughly out-performed by competing 128GB drives from Crucial and Samsung.
