Every now and again I get the chance to have a product a little ahead of every other reviewer in the world and in some cases, I’ve been able to claim the worlds first review as well. There is however one drive that I’m sure many reviewers are waiting to get their hands on, and thanks to Kingston I’ve been able to get a hands on world, exclusive look at the HyperX Predator 1TB USB3.0 flash drive. A few months ago I had a look at the DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 G3 64GB, which features a build and design that is fairly similar to that of the 1TB drive that I have to play with today, however this is of course a little more special with its HyperX branding and of course the mammoth 1TB capacity.

As opposed to most flash drives that we’ve seen from Kingston, the HyperX Predator 1TB is far more worthy of the typical plastic packaging that is pretty much the standard. Instead, this drive comes in a rather sleek looking metal tin with a fitted foam interior that holds both the drive and the accessories that come with it. Alongside the mammoth 1TB drive, we find a keyring for attaching the drive to a set of keys or hand-cuffs; as after all you really don’t want to be letting this drive out of your sight too soon as I felt whilst I had it in my possession. The other accessory we get is a short USB extension cable which for many users will be a well used accessory due to the fact that the drive is a little wider than a typical USB drive.
