Kingston HyperX Predator M.2 SSD On Ubuntu: Linux Might Have Problems With It
Right off the bat, I was rather surprised by the Kingston HyperX Predator M.2 performance on Linux, but not for the better. The Kingston M.2 SSD performance wasn't that good... There were several low-cost SATA 3.0 SSDs out-performing this M.2 SSD that costs twice as much.
In FIO's write tests the Kingston HyperX Predator did better, but still a 256GB Transcend SSD that costs half of this M.2 SSD was running better.
The aging OCZ Vertex 3 came out as faster due to its SandForce controller with online compression of data in FS-Mark. However, still, I'm not too impressed by these results.
