You may remember that back in October, we took a look at the OCZ Vertex 3 240GB SSD, which simply blew us away in terms of the performance that was on offer with lightning fast speeds and a decent set of internals featuring a SandForce controller.
Working on the success of that drive, OCZ have developed the Max IOPS version with a few minor touches from themselves. The development on the Max IOPS has had a bit of a revamp in terms of the PCB, the NAND used with Toshiba Toggle Flash being used opposed to IMFT flash as seen on the original Vertex 3. These little touches allow the Vertex 3 Max IOPS to deliver more when it comes to the overall I/O operations per second, which is the whole purpose of this drive.
OCZ always quote their 4KB Random Write Aligned IOPS through use of IOMeter 2008 and with the standard Vertex 3 coming in at 60,000 write, we find the Max IOPS boasting a massive 75,000 IOPs. An impressive figure to say the least, but we all know that sales hype can sometimes be exactly that.
It's drives like this that we're really keen to look at as they offer something different to the norm and get our enthusiast blood pumping again, so let's get straight into it by starting off with what comes included, as we all know OCZ always like to bundle a nice package together.

Nous connaissons tous la marque Zalman, car cela fait des lustres que cette dernière sévit dans le monde du refroidissement. Mais une division de Zalman est moins connue, celle des SSD, qui compte pourtant déjà quatre références, avec les N, P, S, et maintenant F-Series. La marque n'en est donc pas à son coup d'essai, la preuve, elle annonce 560 Mo/sec et 530 Mo/sec en écriture...

On the lookout for a flash drive that not only offers ample storage but also great performance? If so, Kingston's DT HyperX 3.0 is well worth a look.

Bis vor kurzem hinkte Samsung der Konkurrenz hinterher und hatte kein Solid State Drive im Angebot, das SATA 6 Gb/s unterstützt. Dies hat sich mit der Serie 830 nun geändert. Die Laufwerke unterstützen nicht nur die schnelle Schnittstelle, sondern nutzen sie auf dem Papier auch für eine hohe Leistung aus. Wir haben uns das 256-GB-Modell angesehen.

Hitachi are classed as one of the biggest manufacturer's on the market for many products in the retail world today, and with a division devoted to hard drives and storage, they have offered storage solutions for many years in an extremely competative market.
Part of this market is for the mainstream user who wants a simple plug and play device that can house their collection of data, which generally consists of music, movies and artwork images and this is where external hard drives that perch on your desk really come into action.
Obviously a drive like this is aimed at the user wanting a nice plethora of storage at their disposal and with lots of competition on the market, we hope that this product will give a slight edge over other drives on the market. When looking at a storage drive, most people would dish out the cash on an internal drive, but external still have their uses when it comes to transportation when all you have to do is unplug a few leads and stick it in your bag to take to work or even a friends house.
Also with USB getting faster as technology moves on, and motherboards incorporating more and more ports, it means that a drive like the one we're looking at today gives that certain edge over an interal drive when it comes to connectivity.
We was half expecting this drive to follow suit with other products on the market from the likes of Buffalo and Lacie with a very standard design. Fortunately, this product has a little bit more to offer in the styling department with an 'L' shaped design that lets the drive sit upright on a desk, coupled with a piano black shell, makes this a product that people will gawp at.
