Do we create faster interfaces because of faster devices, or do we have faster devices because of faster interfaces? For questions like these, it is easy to dwindle down to a circular argument like the technological equivalent of the chicken and the egg, but we can always take a look at history. Back in 2010, we have reviewed the OCZ Vertex 2 60GB, an SSD I claimed to be "one sizzling fast piece of storage device for $100". By 2015 standards, pulling a little over 270MB/s for write and about 283MB/s for read in ATTO would have been absolutely laughable. Of course, the OCZ Vertex 2 60GB existed in the relative infancy of solid state drive popularity; not to mention the SATA 3Gb/s interface does not have a whole lot of bandwidth to work with in the first place. A year later, we saw an influx of products based off the famous SandForce SF-2281 controller, which gave us renowned drives like the OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS 240GB. By then, the SATA 6Gb/s interface was readily available, and the SF-2281 took full advantage of it. For years, the SF-2281 was the controller to buy, and even to this day, its performance is still relevant by any standard. As SSDs continue to drop in price, and the gap narrows between performance and value SSDs, we now have new void in the market for those who want the best of the best. To alleviate this problem, drive manufacturers set out to find the solution. Last year, OCZ wrapped four SandForce SF-2282 controllers together, put them in RAID 0, gave it a PCI Express bridge, and created the mind-blowingly fast OCZ RevoDrive 350 480GB for an equally mind-blowing price of $800. For Kingston, they decided to do it a little differently. Using the new M.2 interface, the Kingston HyperX Predator PCIe 480GB promises to deliver up to 1400MB/s read and 1000MB/s write for a more wallet-friendly price of $460. No M.2 on your motherboard? No problem. If you have a free PCI Express x4 slot, Kingston will even throw in an adapter board to convert it to HHHL form for an extra $10. If you are as excited as we are, let us waste no time, and take a closer look at what it is all about.
