Kingston Shows off New HyperX Memory Modules, SSDs

To begin with, Kingston unveiled its latest HyperX module design, the HyperX T1. These modules are designed for overclocking, and keeping in mind today's congested high-end motherboards. The DRAM chips on these modules are passively cooled by chunky aluminum with fins extended vertically. These modules will be likely available in lower module densities (up to 8 GB per module), but will pack very high out-of-the-box XMP 1.3 profiles, with headroom for more overclocking.

Moving on, Kingston showed off a HyperX module with red-colored heatspreaders. Probably riding on the risk of these modules being shunned for looking too much like G.Skill modules from last decade, Kingston labeled these "Limited Edition". Available in capacities of up to 8 GB, these modules will carry mid-range clock speeds of DDR3-1600 MHz.

Kingston also ran a demo of its HyperX Genesis 8 x 8GB quad-channel memory kit, on a Sandy Bridge-E testbench. This particular kit is capable of DDR3-2400 MHz, which is impressive for modules with sheet-thin heatspreaders.

Kingston displayed what its consumer SSD portfolio for the year ahead could look like, including some new product-lines. We got to see its much-acclaimed HyperX SSD, which is among the fastest SSDs driven by SandForce SF-228x; SSDNow KC100 series, SSDNow V200, and SSDNow S50



Among these, some drives such as the SSDNow KC100 are driven by SandForce controllers, probably ASYNC NAND flash config (?), making them cheaper than HyperX, yet in the high-performance segment. The SSDNow V200 is driven by a JMicron JMF66x controller. These will be the more affordable SSDs from Kingston. Lastly, there's SSDNow S50, which is a budget line of low-capacity SSDs based on JMicron controllers. These could make for decent boot or cache drives.



Kingston also demonstrated a line of SSDs in the mSATA form-factor, designed for the emerging Ultrabook segment, and other compact computing devices. These drives will be available in low-ish capacities, and will be driven by a PHISON-made controller.



For those who took the pains to get to the hotel-suite Kingston was holding its demos, there were some nice goodies like flash drives, pens, and T-shirts in store.
