The SSD Review has recently taken the time to evaluate solid state drives from around the world with reviews on products from Memoright in Taiwan and Renice in China. We are going to finish off our tour with another peak at the offerings in Taiwan as we review the Mach Xtreme Technology MX-DS 40GB solid state drive. The unique similarity of all 3 SSDs is that their distribution in North America, at least up until our reviews, has been pretty much extinct since Memorights entry in 2007.
Neben der Speicherkapazität unterscheiden sich SSDs mit SandForce-Controller vor allem durch den verbauten Speicher. Doch welche Auswirkungen hat er auf die Leistung kleiner SSDs? Ein Vergleich der 60 GB großen MX-DS Fusion mit günstigem asynchronen ONFI-NAND und zwei Modellen mit synchronem ONFI-NAND beziehungsweise Toggle-DDR-NAND soll Aufschluss bringen.
Mach Extreme are a name which may be unknown to many, but a handful of their executives have a strong history in the memory sector. This Mach Xtreme MX-DS Turbo 120GB Solid State Drive is based around the class leading Sandforce SF2281 controller with full support for the SATA 3 interface.
USB 3.0 has been around for a while now, but have Mach Xtreme got a good performing drive at an affordable price with the MX-ES?
With UASP support and SLC NAND, we test the ES flash drive from Mach Xtreme and see how it performs.
Late last year I had a look at one of the latest flash drives to roll off the Mach Xtreme production line, featuring 16GB of SLC NAND within its slim read body and a suitably reasonable price tag to go along with it. Now, nearly a year on, I’m going to be taking a look at the 32GB SKU of the same MX-ES SLC drive that I looked at last year.
As a brief re-run over the history of Mach Xtreme, they are one of the leading storage manufacturers for flash products and over the last couple of years, they have been focussing on the MX-ES line of drives with its SLC NAND design.For a few people out there, SLC is common knowledge, but for those that do not know, this refers to the build up of the NAND flash, in this case with a Single Level Cell in instead of a Multi Level Cell design that we typically see in flash drives. Over the MLC design, SLC does not suffer from the same high wear rates and at the same time offers up a better write performance. The downside of this is that SLC NAND takes up a greater space over the much denser MLC and also the production costs are also higher.
As we’ve seen before, the MX-ES drive comes attached to a card with a plastic cover. The front side of the card is packed with information of the drive, including its five year warranty, SLC flash design and that it is ‘optimised’ for Asus motherboards – although the latter we showed to be inconclusive last time round with our testing.
128 Gigabyte Speicherplatz, USB 3.0 und eine kompakte Bauform. Aber ist der MX-FX mit 128 Gigabyte Speicherplatz von Mach Xtreme Technology auch so schnell wie vom Hersteller versprochen? Wir haben uns den kleinen Riesen näher angesehen und mit den USB-3.0-Sticks der Konkurrenz verglichen. Das Ergebnis zeigt Licht und Schatten.
USB Flash Drives have been around for almost 13 years now and according to some people they were the stepping stone on which solid state drives were eventually developed for consumer use (although SSDs in general have been around for much longer). Naturally however since solid state drives either use SATA or PCIex connectivity they are quite faster than even the fastest USB flash drive and although in "theory" the specifications of USB 3.0 come really close in the end we may never see USB 3.0 based flash drives with speeds exceeding 350-400MB/s. Still it's very rare to come across a USB 3.0 based flash drive with speeds exceeding the 200MB/s mark and to my knowledge there are just a handful of drive models currently in the market that can achieve that number mostly manufactured from Kingston and Corsair. Well it seems that Mach Xtreme (MX-Technology) is also ready to jump on the same wagon with their latest MX-FX USB 3.0 flash drives.
Last month Mach Xtreme celebrated their first anniversary. As a company starting business in the middle of a global recession, the hill is high from the start, but once you take a look at the companies Mach Xtreme is dog fighting against, the odds don't look all that good. Mach Xtreme is taking on the industry big boys, OCZ Technology, Kingston and the rest of the well known companies making SSDs, flash drives and memory modules. In order to survive, Mach Xtreme has to do things differently and that is what they have done from the starting block.
Nach dem MX-FX hat Mach Xtreme mit dem MX-GX einen zweiten USB-3.0-Stick vorgestellt. Die Ein-chip-Lösung zielt auf das untere Marktsegment ab. Ob man dies auch bei der Leistung zu spüren bekommt, oder ob der Stick ein Schnäppchen in der wachsenden Angebotsvielfalt ist, soll unser aktueller Test klären.
