Over the past few months, solid state drives have come down significantly in price, making them much more cost effective than they've been previously. Today, we are going to look at one of Samsung's latest SSDs, the 830 Series 256 GB, to see how it fares against the competition.

Until recently, all SandForce-based solid state drive storage products came with a reserved NAND flash capacity referred to as 'Over Provisioning', used for low-level tasks by the SSD controller. Available now with the ADATA XPG SX900 series, a LSI-SandForce 2281-based solid state drive, capacity grows 7% larger thanks to new firmware that specifies binary capacity points while preserving performance. In this article, Benchmark Reviews tests the value-priced 256GB ADATA XPG SX900 SSD (model ASX900S3-256GM-C).

After the dust settled from our testing we found out a few things from the AUTO USB. The Strontium AUTO USB does max out USB 2.0 with the read speeds, but the write speeds are slower, coming in at around 7MB/s. The chip on board was not able to be tested as none of our cars our friends cars had USB connections in their cars. If it does work as intended that will just be an added bonus.

We take a look at Thermaltake's BlacX Duet dual dock, but will all the results sing in harmony or will there be a bad tempo somewhere inside?

You can't tell by their identical exterior, but the Synology DS213 and DS 213+ are two very different NAS devices. The DS213 has a 2.0 GHz Marvell ARM processor, while the DS213+ is equipped with a 1,067 GHz FreeScale P1022 processor with integrated hardware encryption. On the front there is an SD-card slot and a USB port you can use to copy files to and from the NAS, but it's too bad that it's USB 2.0 and not USB 3.0. Synology included a handy synch button on the front to speed up this process. The user-friendly nature of Synology products remains the same.

Mit der Octane, der Agility 4 und letztlich der Vertex 4 hat OCZ das aktuelle Produktlineup komplett mit dem Firmeneigenen Indilinx Controller ausgestattet. Der einstige Performance-Primus, die Vertex 3, welche mit dem bekannten SandForce SF-2281 daher kommt, haben wir uns noch einmal vorgenommen und waren gespannt, ob das etablierte Produkt inzwischen schon Boden auf die Konkurrenz verloren hat, oder immer noch mithalten kann. Das Ergebnis steht im nachfolgenden Testbericht.

Back in July we took a look at the Vertex 4 solid state drive from OCZ. This was the first consumer solid state drive from OCZ to use the Indilinx Everest 2 controller. Today we are looking at OCZ’s second solid state drive to use that controller, the Agility 4. The Agility 4 features read and write speeds of 420MB/s read and 410MB/s write respectively. Since OCZ has been making solid state drives they have always had the Vertex line and Agility line. The Vertex line was always the high-end enthusiast product, while the Agility was aimed for the mainstream. It is no different here, unlike the Vertex 4 that uses synchronous NAND the Agility 4 uses asynchronous NAND and is much less expensive. As of this review the Agility 4 is $189.99 for the $256GB version. Read on as we check the Agility 4 out!

Today we are looking at the latest Solid State Drives from Corsair – the Neutron and Neutron GTX, in 240GB capacities. Both of these drives are using the latest Link A Media (LAMD) controller which is 6Gbps capable and is said to deliver stunning performance when tasked with both compressible and incompressible data. Can Corsair claim the top performance spot with these new drives?

With little variation in the market we go gaga when something comes along that's different. Designed on a myth, built by enthusiasts and sold like any other SSD, this one is truly different.
