Been using the HyperX 3k for about 2 months. Got on a sale lats year with the kit. Up until then i was using a Entry level 64Gb sandisk Sata 6Gb/s. The Kingston hyperX3k is slower in evrey way as far as I can tell. Not by much but still slower. My WD1002FAEX writes a 4GB file faster to a WD Blue 1Tb drive. the KHX 3k will top out at 500MB/s for maybe 1 or 2 seconds the drops off to 40MB/s while the HDD maintains a steady 115MB/s. Just goes to show that reviews are not what they seem

I was just saying. I am not looking for any easy fix. I did already send some emails to Kingston and going though the motions but I am not going to RMA it. I only spent $75 on the SSD+Kit, locally. It reads decent speeds. But the reviews I read were comparing the KHX 3K to a Intel 520 and saying they were even. From what I can tell the Intel 520 is better than the 530 in many ways.
