CONCLUSION

   The Savage EXO may be the very first portable drive by HyperX but at the same time it’s also the fastest external drive currently by Kingston and that says a lot. Of course our charts place the Bolt B80 by Silicon Power in the lead and although some of you (i too was surprised by the results) may not have expected that let’s not forget that both drives are very fast USB 3.1 Gen 2 models (do keep in mind that you need a USB 3.1 Gen 2 compatible system to squeeze every bit of available performance) and both are also cooled by their aluminum housings. Unfortunately our charts still don’t have many portable SSD models in them but we’ve reached out to many manufacturers in order to get our hands to as many as possible (still although we’re currently testing 3 more models we can’t hope to test every single one in the market).

   With a current price tag set at USD122.06 inside the USA (Amazon) and 124Euros inside the EU (Amazon UK) the Savage EXO 480GB USB 3.1 Gen 2 Portable SSD by HyperX features a excellent price/capacity ratio which should be more than enough for most people to overlook that it’s not the fastest model out in the market currently. Ontop of that add the aluminum enclosure, two bundled USB cables and the 3 year limited warranty and the brand new HyperX Savage EXO 480GB Portable SSD is certainly worth our Golden Award.
