SATA III drives have stolen all of the press and talk lately but with the Torqx 2, Patriot is showing they haven’t forgotten all of the SATA II users out there. Phison isn’t a well known name but if the performance of the Torqx 2 is any indication their name could become more common. Reaching read speeds of 250MB/s and write speeds of 205MB/s the Torqx 2 has plenty of speed to give your system a significant boost.

This has definitely been the year for SandForce as a lot of companies have plumped for the inclusion of the famous controllers on their latest solid state drives. Among these companies were market leader OCZ who have been at the top of the market for quite some time now and for a company whose knowledge was led by memory based products, it seemed to give OCZ a logical step in the right direction when producing SSD's.

Our review today is on the OCZ RevoDrive Hybrid 1TB PCIe SSD and we think you will find this unlike any other similar review. We have spent over 45 hours in disecting, ripping apart, examining, testing and analysing this new Hybrid SSD and we think you will be a bit shocked at what we have found. Tag along and enjoy the ride as we lead you through the last week leading up to our final report of the Revo Hybrid! Tons of Photos!

Synology's DiskStation DS211j is a Network Attached Storage (NAS) box that caters equally to both consumers and home offices in need of a centralized file server. It has also been designed to be operating system-agnostic and to provide access using mobile devices like the iPhone and Android handsets.

Nations rise and nations fall, and from this, patriotism and war arises. Survival is key in conflicts between nations, which reminds me of a saying from a famous US General George S. Patton. He said, "War is not meant to be you dying for your country -- it is by making the [enemy] die for his." In the world of technology, companies rival against each other as well. Some claim patents on newly invented technology, while others sue each other for stealing ideas of innovation. Heck, when it comes down to consumer preference for different brands, the same scenario applies. We can evidently see this between Microsoft and Apple fanboys, but only in a more "subtle" and less violent sense. There is never only one type of technology developed and produced by one sole proprietorship. Hard drives are produced by Western Digital, Seagate, and other companies. The same concept applies to different laptops, desktops, memory, and many other such products. Even between small consumer products, we still have competition on who has the best hardware. To determine who is the best, well, welcome to APH Networks. What we have here at APH Networks today is a lightning fast USB 3.0 flash drive -- namely, the Kingston DataTraveler Ultimate G2 32GB. Back in the day when USB 2.0 flash drives were still kicking around, 8GB of flash drive space was the real deal in quickly transferring files to your friend's computer. Now, with the Ultimate G2 featuring a USB 3.0 interface and speeds up to 100MB/s and 70MB/s for read and write respectively, how hard can it be to conveniently carry all the data you need in your pocket? Read on to see how 'ultimate' the Kingston DataTraveler Ultimate G2 32GB flash drive is!

It wasn't that long ago we reviewed the Silicon Power V20, a SATA II SandForce Driven SSD using the SF-1200 controller. The V20 landed on US shores well after others SF-1200 products came to market, but still used 3Xnm flash even though 25nm had become the norm. Silicon Power learned from their V20 release that you have to bring products to market quicker if you want market share. This round Silicon Power is getting their new V30 product here and even taking a stab at making the low cost kings at the same time.

In den nachfolgenden Zeilen werden bereits vor dem Fazit schon zwei Premieren gefeiert. Nicht nur das auf HW-Journal das erste echte Hardware-Review präsentiert wird, so wird auch die brand aktuelle HyperX SSD von Kingston näher beleuchtet. Mit Spannung erwartet und mit Verzögerung erschienen, drängt diese SSD mit dem Sandforce Controller auf den Markt. Mit sagenhaften Leseraten von bis 555MB/s und Schreibraten von bis zu 510MB/s sowie maximale IOPS 95000 bei zufälligen 4k-Lesenblöcken, stellt allein das Datenblatt einen neuen Klassenprimus auf. Ob sich die großen Ankündigungen des Herstellers in der Praxis bestätigen ließen, klärt der nachfolgende Bericht. Viel Spaß beim Lesen

Synology is a large NAS manufacturer with several products. Looking at the numbers, Synology rivals both QNAP and Thecus in terms of the number of products available and in some categories outpaces them in truly innovative offerings. One such area that stands out is Synology's Disk Expansion products that allow you to double the drive count of your existing NAS with an add-on enclosure. I can't really tell you why Synology hasn't been a larger target on our radar, because I don't really know, but their blip is gaining more attention moving forward.

Back on March 2011, Seagate debuted their original Barracuda XT 3TB hard drive, model ST33000651AS, which used five platters to supply 3000 gigabytes of capacity over a SATA 6.0 GB/s interface. Seven short months later, they've returned to introduce a replacement: the Seagate Barracuda 3TB hard drive ST3000DM001, which features the same 6 GB/s interface and 64MB cache buffer but now utilizes only three 1GB density platters. Seagate has also introduced a number of refined technologies to help improve overall hard drive performance, including: dual core 40nm processor technology, DDR2 DRAM buffer, and refined caching algorithms. By reducing disc platters from five to three, it prolongs servo motor life and reduces heat output. Benchmark Reviews compared these two hard drives, to see exactly what's been gained.
