Kingston’s HyperX SSD powered by SandForce is finally shipping. The HyperX SSD powered by SandForce will come in capacities of 120GB and 240GB and are apparently capable of sequential read speeds up to 555MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 510MB/s.

These drives will be available by themselves or come bundled as part of a “HyperX Upgrade Kit”, which includes Acronis True Image HD migration software, a desktop mounting plate, external drive bay, multi-head screwdriver, and a SATA data cable.

One of the things that the new Intel Core i7 platform offered that was good or bad depending on how you looked at it was support for triple-channel RAM and lower power consumption. The good was that the machines offered more memory bandwidth and needed less power. The bad was that those looking to upgrade to the new platform couldn’t use memory already on hand.

Kingston has now announced its first 12GB triple channel DDR3 HyperX memory kit specifically for the Intel Core i7 platform. The kit includes three 4GB RAM modules and operates at 1600MHz. The RAM is optimized for XMP.
