FIRST PRIZE

Kingston HyperX 3K 240GB Solid-State Drive & HyperX Beast 16GB DDR3-1600 Memory

Kingston’s 240GB HyperX 3K SSD delivers extreme performance – 555MB/s read and 510MB/s write – thanks in part to its highly-tuned SandForce controller and SATA 6Gbit/s interface. The company’s just-launched HyperX Beast memory modules are the most aggressive it’s ever released, featuring a sleek black color and fierce-looking heat-spreader. This series also happens to boast the beefiest densities Kingston offers – the prize here consists of dual 8GB sticks.

SECOND PRIZE

Kingston 32GB Wi-Drive, 32GB Locker+G2, 32GB SDHC Class 10 & MobileLite Reader

You’ll be bleeding storage with this prize. For starters, we have Kingston’s mobile-bound Wi-Drive, coming in at 32GB and able to be accessed by your phone or tablet through WiFi. Camera or camcorder need a storage boost? The fast Class 10 SDHC card coming in at 32GB should do the trick. We’re also tossing in a 32GB Locker+G2 that will keep your data on the go totally secure, and to round things out, let’s add the MobileLite USB 3.0 memory card reader to the mix, shall we?

THIRD PRIZE

Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB Solid-State Drive

One of Kingston’s latest releases, the SSDNow V300 is the company’s latest SSD that maximizes performance while being offered at an affordable price. With the help of its SATA 6Gbit/s interface and LSI SandForce controller, this SSD delivers performance of 450MB/s for both read and write – and for this 120GB model in particular, can stretch all the way to 85,000 IOPS on the read and 55,000 IOPS on the write.
