THE FURY RGB 480GB

The FURY RGB SSD features a thick gunmetal grey aluminum enclosure which actually makes it the heaviest 2.5 inch SSD we've ever used.

At the top of the drive we find two openings which along with opening inside the HyperX logo placed in the middle allow light coming from the internal RGB LEDs to "leak" outside.

Turning the drive over we see the sticker which was visible from the rear of the box.

Taking a look at the rear of the drive we find the typical SATA data and power connectors and a micro USB port.

Accessing the interior requires a Torqx screwdriver.

The FURY RGB has a total of 75 RGB LEDs on the top side of its PCB.

On the other side we find 4 NAND flash modules (128GB each), 4 empty areas for NAND flash modules (populated in the 960GB capacity model), the 512MB LPDDR3 cache module and the 88SS1074 NAND flash controller by Marvell.

Even if your system doesn't support RGB lighting (our test rig does not) the drive still lights up red (you don't have to connect it via micro USB).

However, if you do have a compatible system and you do connect the drive via micro USB with your mainboard RGB header it will change colors as seen above.
