Yes finally Kingston have launched there long awaiting PCIe x 4 lane SSD's in both M.2 drive only format and with Adaptor card which is Half Height and Half Length. Check out the pricing below. They will be launching with 240GB and 480GB models and later on a 960GB HHHL card will be released as well.


Kingston HyperX Predator 240GB PCIe x 4 SSD 2280 Form Factor Solid State Drive (SHPM2280P2/240G) @ £209.99 inc VAT

HyperX® Predator SSD offers large capacities and incredible speeds with both compressible and incompressible data to take your system to the edge. Faster than SATA-based SSDs, it delivers speeds of up to 1400MB/s read and 1000MB/s write for ultra-responsive multitasking and an overall faster system.

It features a PCIe Gen 2.0 x4 interface for high performance and an M.2 form factor to fit the next generation of desktops with an M.2 PCIe slot. A Half-Height, Half-Length (HHHL) adapter that works with many existing motherboards with at least a PCIe x4 slot open is available. The HHHL adapter comes with both standard and low-profile brackets to fit in slim-profile desktop builds.

Prey on the competition for years to come. HyperX Predator SSD comes with a three-year warranty and free technical support to keep you winning.

I might be going a bit mad, lack of tea, but from the numbers below is the 240gb faster in some area's then that 480? Read speeds and iops???

My brain says the 480gb should be quicker?
 
Will installing one of these cards have any 'noticeable' impact on the performance of my graphics cards? I'm using the ASUS Z97 MAXIMUS VII RANGER with two 970's in SLI leaving two x1 and one x4 slot available. The M.2 slot on the board itself is populated with a Plextor 128GB used exclusively for the OS and a few programs.

You are not wrong darknite and I have double checked with the info from Kingston on the datasheet they sent across. I will check with them directly as well to confirm.
 
Any idea when you'll get any Gen3 x4 M.2 SSD's? (Ultra m.2)

Can't wait to try up to 32Gb/ps benching!

Can I ask, what's the benefit of these? Faster read and write speeds?

I have always wondered what the port was for!

Just speed really. In the case of the M.2 drives, the form factor is pretty ace. They take up very little space and provide pretty mental performance in a very compact way.
 
Still not as good as Samsung's SM951, nor it's predecessor the XP941 :(

Wish they would start mass producing the damn things....

Also, after the shenanigans Kingston pulled with the V300, not exactly filled with confidence.

Ah right. I'll wait for them to drop in price and then get one. Still a bit to much for my liking. I cannot wait to get rid of HDD's and just have SSD's or these funky looking things.
 
The M.2 Drives are great for small form factor builds where it can be quickly and easily mounted on the motherboard and then you have no SATA or power cables going to a 2.5" drive. Same for the PCI-E adaptor versions as well no need for cables. Helps if you like a nice neat build. While it is new technology coming out the pricing will always be high. Once they start producing them in higher quantities then the price will drop like normal SSD's
 
i built a system for someone last year with a m.2 drive and the build was lovely at the end of it. quick too.
