Kingston has introduced a range of 2.5-inch solid-state drives called HyperX 3K SSD – Na'Vi Edition.

Made by the company in collaboration with eSports club champion Natus Vincere, the solid-state drives are colored a mix of black and yellow.

Based on the SandForce SF-2281 controller and the SATA III interface, they can read data at 555 MB/s and write it at 510 MB/s, maximum.

The random read/write performance depends on capacity though.

There are two options: 120 GB (20,000/60,000 IOPS read/write data blocks to 4 KB, 85000/73000 IOPS read/write data blocks to 4 KB6) and 240 GB (40000/57000 IOPS to 4 KB, 86000/60000 IOPS to 4KB6).

Both units feature SMART, TRIM and Garbage Collection technologies. The MTBF (mean time between failures) is 1 million hours.
