Solid performer; big upgrade over mechanical drive

The HyperX 3K may not be the fastest on the block but it's a massive improvement over mechanical hard disks. Windows 8.1 Pro now boots to the desktop in roughly 15 seconds from cold. General operations such as launching applications are almost instantaneous, even Firefox opens in less than one second. I would say that the HyperX has increased access speeds by at least 10x from my perception. Best of all I picked up the drive for $85 with promo code!
