Asus shows off HyperXpress SSD


SSD made in conjunction with Kingston*will hit shelves alongside Asus’ Haswell refresh and Z97 Express chipset motherboards.




Asus recently demonstrated its first SSD, which it is planning on launching in the coming weeks.

Legit Reviews*got its hands on an early unit and was able to do some preliminary benchmarking.



The Asus HyperXpress SSD will be one of the first drives launched that will support the SATA Express interface, launching on Intel’s Z97 Express chipset. When launched it will be available in three sizes to fit a variety of form factors: M.2, mSATA and 2.5-inch.



Inside the drive is a RAID 0 array of two Kingston mSATA 6 Gb/s SSDs, using a ASMedia ASM1062R controller.





Currently the drive can push out 704MB/s of sequential read speed and 746 MB/s of write speed, but these numbers should improve in the final version of the drive.
