This is a neat looking device, obviously a fair bit larger than a USB stick but small enough to easily slip in a pocket, it is made from metal-effect plastic and feels reasonably sturdy despite being very light.On the device you'll find just a USB-C port and a small white LED activity light. It is plug and play just like a USB stick but you get both the choice of USB-C or the older standard USB (Type-A) cables in the box to make it compatible with almost any device. Of course to get the maximum speed benefits you will need a computer (or games console) with USB 3.1 gen 2, but it is also backwards compatible with any older USB port, albeit with a considerable read/writed speed reduction as per each USB generation's maximum throughput.

So many claims that a product will speed up loading times, and so many times disappointed by the results. Not this time however. Keen to dispute the claims, I formatted this as extended storage in my PS4Pro, and copied a I/O intensive game (Gran Turismo Sport), and did some timings. Game launch was indeed reduced. Running from standard internal Sony HDD: 35 seconds to launch, after copying, running from this 27 seconds. Similar reduction % in load times were seen throughout the game.Essentially, the claims held up, this is very fast storage, and it's competitively priced, and a serious contender for extending your consoles storage rather than replacing.It obviously works on Xbox One, PC, Mac,

As an owner of a 500gb PS4, I have come across the all too common issue of running out of space. Over time games have increased in size and on-board storage has had difficulty keeping up. This is where the HyperX is a godsend.Thanks to the PS4 software update quite some time ago, external storage can now be used for game saves. Setting it up couldn't be any easier. Just plug in the HyperX to the front USB ports, and the on-screen guides show you what to do. I have it set up so all new applications go straight to the SSD, rather than my internal storage which is still needed for things such as screenshots and downloading updates. This is a much easier option than taking apart the PS4 and manually replacing the HDD.

Opening up this HyperX Savage EXO 480GB External Solid State External drive (Daft name) I'm reminded of my very first Sony Data Vault 256Mb that I bought in 2003 and cost me £100 ... in real terms that is more expensive than the HyperX which has nearly 2,000 x the capacity.It really is incredible how light and slim this device is, and is perfect for taking data (whatever you chose) out and about with you and being solid state, should be robust.It linked instantly with my iMac giving an available capacity of 480.09.Obviously it can be used to store and retrieve any kind of data, I guess it could even be used for backup and retrieval,

This drive is unbelievably, blisteringly quick. I did a full back-up of all my files and was getting between 360mb/400mb on both read and write speeds, although it is measured as faster by the manufacturer; however, that’s not bad for real world. Designed to be used by gamers - why should they have all the fun?, this will work equally as well with anything you need to keep a copy of. Very compact in size, hardly made a dent in my laptop bag, and it’s incredibly lightweight: weighing in at 59g. It comes with two cables: USB3.1 to normal USB and USB3C to USB3C, so you have connectivity to a range of devices. 480Gb is a huge amount of storage to be packed into such a small, very Star Trek looking package.

This looks beautiful, and it's really fast. For the best speed, you need USB3.1 port and a computer that can push out data sufficiently fast - so has to be pretty modern. The result is blisteringly fast speeds, ideal for games users loading up their games into XBox One and PS4, but of course, useful for video and stills photographers needing to transfer huge files quickly.Is there a cheaper alternative? Yes, if you're happy to forgo the looks, just get a 2.5" drive caddy with USB 'C' and an SSD of your choice, put the two together and away you go. You might not get quite the speed - check reviews, as these vary. Currently, that would cost about £85, shaving off a third of this unit.

The HyperX SAVAGE EXO 480GB Mobile External Solid State External in Black - USB3.1 arrives nicely boxed and enclosed is a brief note from the Kingston team and two leads. I was surprised how light and small the solid state drive is. I immediately set about loading loading some music backup files from a laptop to this drive, I was getting a transfer speed between 200MB to 120MB per second. I loaded tried the external drive to a PS4 and the transfer and load up time is impressive. I am very pleased with the overall performance of this drive its outstandingly fast. The data retention to keep data on would appear to be in very safe. I am torn between using this as a external drive to play music HR FLAC files or use on the game station.
