14 DAY TRIAL // Gamescom is well underway and Kingston is, unsurprisingly, present and accounted for, complete with a wide range of not just HyperX memory products, but also a number of flash products.
Kingston, like various other companies, went over to Gamescom to show off an entire batch of products, memory and flash devices to be more exact.
We were able to secure an appointment in order to get a close look at the full lineup that they brought over.
It turned out to be extensive, the list showing various HyperX-branded devices of both the NAND and DRAM variety.
One item on the list, Flash-based, and which users can already find in stores, is the HyperX line of SSDs (the brand is the same as the one on high-end RAM). Prospective customers might find it intriguing to hear that the drives got quite a bit of praise in reviews.
They come in 120 GB and 240 GB capacities, have read and write speeds of 555MB/s and 510MB/s, respectively, and were covered in detail here.
Another item that has, likewise, been in existence for some time is the USB 3.0 Media Reader (it can be found detailed here).
Nonetheless, Kingston did not forget to bring along one of its current projects, that of a flash drive unit bearing the same logo as the one mentioned above.
Unfortunately, there is no clear-cut information available on the inner workings of this Kingston HyperX USB drive.
USB 3.0 is more or less a certainty, but the rest has yet to be expanded upon, most likely because the product has not reached a final design (although it is certain that it will sport the familiar black and blue color scheme).
Until more details are provided, customers can spend time perusing the equally varied collection of DDR3 modules and kits.
Kingston seems to have brought the whole family over, exhibiting HyperX Genesis modules, HyperX H20 (liquid-cooled) and HyperX blu, HyperX LoVo (low-voltage), HyperX t1 and, last but not least, the HyperX PnP (plug and play).
This last line of modules offers 1,600 MHz and 1,866 MHz speeds, without the need for BIOS changes, and automatic performance gains on systems running an Intel Sandy Bridge CPU.
UPDATE: Kingston reached out to us with the official specs of the HyperX SSDs, which are superior to those previously uncovered (555 MB/s read and 510 MB/s write instead of 525 MB/s and 480 MB/s).
