There’s no question that SSDs are the norm for gamers and video editors given their performance. HyperX has introduced the new FURY RGB SSD and SAVAGE EXO external SSD, targeting gamers on both PC and console — but are also suitable for video editing.
First up, the HyperX FURY RGB SSD has 500MB/s read and 480MB/s write speeds. As the name implies, the drive also has an RGB lightbar for dynamic, customizable RGB lighting effects for those so inclined to light up their systems. It is compatible with RGB motherboards and can be daisy chained to sync RGB effects with other internal devices.
