Packaging & Closer Look


HyperX Savage arrives in an eye-catching box which has been carefully designed. It features an image of the actual drive along with details such as warranty duration, capacity and expected transfer rates. The reverse of this box simply has a list of the included parts and the serial label with included standards.


Opening this box up we are met by a number of included items which include:

• 2.5” SSD (7.0mm)
• 3.5” bracket with mounting screws
• 7mm-9.5mm adapter
• Acronis cloning software
• Documentation


Since this package is regarded as the “upgrade kit” there are some added extras such as the metal bracket and adapter to allow the drive to be installed within a notebook-type device.


The Savage SSD is an expertly crafted device. HyperX has fashioned the drive to use a large “H” shaped piece of metal to which the HyperX logo sits. This logo and the respective shapes nearby use an interlaced pattern to give Savage some depth.

Though this type of device is often tucked away and out of sight, HyperX has done a great job with the aesthetics and it will look great on display.


On the reverse-side there are some star bolts holding the shrouds together and a specifications label which details the product code, serial number, standards and capacity.

Under the plates and at the very heart of Savage sits the Phison PS3110-S10 – an quad-core eight-channel controller. There are also eight 19nm MLC NAND flash chips inside which are 16GB each, totalling up to 256GB.
