Maximum PC: Kingston's HyperX division has begun selling its Savage line of solid state drives that we first spied at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas earlier this year. These drives combine a SATA 6Gbps interface with the Phison S10 quad-core, eight-channel controller for high read and write speeds, though clearly HyperX is also hoping to win consumers over with aesthetics.
Ah, Solid State Drives, perhaps the next best upgrade for your PC besides a CPU and GPU. However not always the best for your wallet, am I right? The price per GB is still high and while the prices are dropping, we're still looking at rocket high prices for a large SSD...wait, what's that?
Tiger Direct and Amazon both have a 960GB SSD for less than $500? No way, get out of town, is what you're thinking right now but it's true. Currently up on Tiger Direct's website is the Kingston HyperX Savage 960GB SS for $484.99. Normally the drive retails for $900.00, 48% has been slashed off the price of the drive. Amazon is also selling the drive for under $500.00, however they are selling it for $494.99 and has reduced the drive by 51% as it normally sells for $1,000.00!
