It's been a while since we've looked at the original Kingston HyperX USB flash drive, about 3.5 years actually. For it's time, we found that the 4GB HyperX drive was very fast and at the top of its class. Today, we're looking at a drive from the current HyperX line. And we've come a long way as far as USB flash drives are concerned. In the categories of capacity and performance, the new HyperX USB flash drive series is leaps and bounds ahead of the original HyperX line. The old HyperX line topped with a 4GB capacity, and the new line is now provides up to a whopping 256GB of storage. The old series embraced USB 2.0 and was rated at 20MB/s write and 30MB/s read, and the new HyperX line uses the latest and greatest USB 3.0 interface and is rated at 135MB/s write and 225MB/s read. Is the new DataTraveler HyperX drive going to be able to live up to the bar set by the original HyperX drive?
