RunCore makes several SSD products, from PCIe SSDs made for a specific netbook model, to desktop / notebook 2.5” form factor drives like the new Pro V. At the time of writing the Pro V wasn’t listed on RunCore’s website, but the Kylin II enterprise was listed on a RunCore enterprise site that I found off the beaten path.
The whole shapes and sizes thing, while it might not seem like an issue, it is actually a big problem when you try to use them. Patriot was one of the biggest offenders, their Magnum products managed to achieve up to 128GB of capacity which sounds great, but you can't plug them into an Xbox 360 or many other products that limit the width around the connector. Patriot isn't the only offender, around half of the USB 3.0 drives we've tested are oversized and either blocks other USB ports or just can't fit into some of the devices we want to plug into.
RunCore saw this as a problem too so when they set out to design their Pro IV MoonDrive they wanted to keep things simple and streamlined. The Pro IV MoonDrive's profile isn't that much different than the low cost flash drives you see at the grocery store hanging on a rack next to the batteries for children's toys. The build quality though is much more advanced, both inside and out.
RunCore offers an upgrade path for the ZIF form factor with the Pro IV ZIF SSD, and we have it in house for review.
In the past we have taken a look at a variety of different SSD’s of all different sizes and shapes. Today we are going to check out something completely different. Today we are taking a look at a tiny 1.8 inch SSD that uses a PATA ZIF connection. For those of you who don’t know what a ZIF connection is, that is a zero insertion force connection. You typically see them inside of laptops and in this case this drive is normally used on small laptops and in some handheld devices. Being a PATA based (think IDE) these aren’t all about speed, but I wanted to check the drive out due to its size. So let’s take a look.
External hard drives have grown in popularity considerably in recent years. Most of us have experienced at least one dreaded hard drive failure and so we’ve learnt the importance of backing up files. One hardware device which makes backing up effortless and fast is an external hard drive. These are also useful for mass portable storage. Today we’ll be reviewing an external hard drive enclosure from ‘Rosewill’. This 3.5” SATA enclosure supports all the modern standards and can support even a 1TB hard drive. Time to take a look at the RX81-MP-US…
Have you ever wondered what you could do with all of your high bandwidth, low latency RAM? Romex Software’s FancyCache has a suggestion for you: cache your drives. Caching has been all the rage lately in the SSD world. If there isn’t a caching solution to your liking now, chances are their will be soon enough although such options are the industries attempts to marry the low cost per GB of HDDs with the speed of SSDs. Our review today of Romex FancyCache is going to be something just a bit different!
If you are long time readers you know that we always advocate more storage, fast storage, and redundancy of storage. We have covered a LOT of external and internal drives of varying capacity, speeds, and interfaces over the years. The need for storage hasn't decreased. Rocstor makes solutions that address exactly this kind of need. We have here today the Rocstor ROCPRO 900e Desktop Portable External Hard Drive.
Alors que le SATA 6 Gb/s natif se démocratise seulement sur les plateformes haut de gamme d'Intel (avec la commercialisation du X79 Express), ce dernier s'avère déjà presque saturé par les contrôleurs SSD modernes. En attendant l'avènement de son successeur, il existe d'ores et déjà une interface capable d'assouvir les débits réclam és par plusieurs contrôleurs en parallèle sur un seul et même disque flash : le PCIe ! Les SSD l'employant sont souvent associés à de la très coûteuse (et performante) flash SLC et destinés au monde professionnel, toutefois, OCZ acteur actif s'il en est dans le monde des SSD, propose avec le RevoDrive 3 une alternative certes coûteuse mais toutefois accessible aux passionnés en embarquant de la NAND Flash MLC gérée par 2 ou 4 contrôleurs SandForce SF-2281 ! Que vaut donc le RevoDrive 3 X2 480 Go face à un compétiteur basé sur le même contrôleur et testé en 6 Gb/s, puis 3 Gb/s ?
L’innovazione nel settore degli hard disk meccanici sembra ormai impossibile. Tuttavia le aziende più attive in questo settore prodigano ancora i loro sforzi per migliorare l’affidabilità e le prestazioni degli ancora insostituibili hard disk. Quest’oggi la redazione di XtremeHardware vi propone l’articolo riguardante gli hard disk della nuova serie “RED” modello WD30EFRX introdotti sul mercato da Western Digital, leader del settore.
Spesso ci è capitato di dover visionare o condividere dei file tra cui musica, immagini o video all'istante anche su smartphone o tablet, ma i comuni box esterni non ci davano tale possiiblità. Qui interviene Vantec a darci una mano con il suo NexStar WiFi Hard Drive Dock, un box o dock esterna, compatibile con hard disk o SSD da 2,5" e 3,5" con in più la peculiare caratteristica di avere al suo interno un modulo WIFi in grado di permetterci facilmente di accedere ai dati contenuti nell'hard disk o SSD. Lo Staff di XtremeHardware ora andrà ad analizzare per voi questa docking station davvero singolare.
