Looking for a flash drive that lets out that little artist within? Look no further, X-tremeGeek is here to rescue you with the "Bone Collection" by Fruitshop. Will these fancy looking drives prove to us that "you shouldn't judge a book by its cover", or will it send us back to the library for something else. Join Artiom as TechwareLabs takes a look.
Until 2009, Solid State Drive (SSD) popularity was only growing in the elite enthusiast circles. Then along comes the Indilinx Barefoot chip, which quickly became the backbone SSD controller for over a dozen different products. Crucial, being The Memory Experts that they are, have returned to the market with their second SSD product. By most accounts, this isn't par for the course when you consider how often the competition reveals a new product line. Equipped with the test-proven Indilinx Barefoot controller and 64MB of DRAM buffer, Crucial is insured that the M225-series will deliver outstanding performance. Benchmark Reviews tests the bandwidth speed and IOPS performance for the Crucial M225 128GB SATA-II SSD CT128M225 against a large contingent of desktop storage products in this article.
File systems are an integral part of any operating systems with the capacity for long term storage. There are two distinct parts of a file system, the mechanism for storing files and the directory structure into which they are organised. In mordern operating systems where it is possibe for several user to access the same files simultaneously it has also become necessary for such features as access control and different forms of file protection to be implemented.
It is quite incredible how many models QNAP release and how often they are updated but this is due to the relatively cheap prices of large mechanical hard drives and end user demand for ever growing storage space. QNAP were established in Taiwan in 2004 and are well known for their build quality and sophisicated software packages. The QNAP TS-639 Pro is based on the same platform as the TS 509 Pro which we reviewed a while ago and as such now supports iSCSI integration as standard.

How do the many solid state drives in the market stack up? We ran some
benchmarks, and here are the results...
Seagate delivers a pocketsize powerhouse with their excellent new Momentus 7200.4 laptop hard drive, offering outstanding capacity and speed as well as an energy savings over your standard 5400rpm drive. What does this mean for performance? Quicker boot times, faster access, and a longer battery life for your laptop. Are there any negatives to this seemingly wonder drive? Read our review to find out.
The V in Kingston's SSDNow V Series 128GB solid state drive stands for value, and that is definitely what it offers when compared to other solid state drives. Checking Newegg.com finds that the desktop kit including this drive is $239.99 with free shipping, making it the cheapest of the twenty six 128GB drives they list, and $25 less than the closest competitor's drive.
Die Erfolgsstory der Festplattensparte von Samsung liest sich inzwischen wie ein spannender Fortsetzungsroman, wobei die Hauptakteure durchaus nicht fiktiv sind, sondern reale Konturen besitzen. Mit der F1 wurde im Frühjahr 2008 der Grundstein gelegt, ein Jahr später folgte die F2 und seit kurzem ist die F3 lieferbar, zumindest in der 500GB Version, weitere Varianten werden sicherlich folgen, die 1TB Version ist bereits gelistet
Negative Aspekte waren allerdings auch zu vermelden, denn die größeren Exemplare (bis zu 3 Platter und 6 Köpfe) erzeugten kaum wegzudiskutierende Vibrationen, die nur über gezielte Entkoppelungen respektive Dämmungen zu kompensieren waren. Die F1 HD322HJ (320GB) brachte Abhilfe, da nur noch ein Platter und zwei Köpfe eingesetzt wurden, wodurch diese Platte zum schnellen Favoriten avancierte, zumal sie nicht nur leise sondern auch schnell agiert.
The BlackArmor series from Seagate are aimed at small businesses, and professional users but they can be great tools for the everyday user as well. I’ve taken a look at two of the BlackArmor series of external hard drives the PS 110 and the Ws 110, and both are very nice products overall that can be great tools for transporting and keeping your data safe. Today I’ve got another in the BlackArmor series of storage and backup devices, the NAS 220 2TB Network Attached Storage box. The NAS 220 is a NAS box as one might expect given it’s name, and I’ve taken a look at several NAS devices here on TestFreaks, so I’m not only giving you a comprehensive overview of the NAS 220 but tossing in some comparisons as well so we can see how it performs compared to a few others.
As both popularity for SSDs and development of their technology grow, manufacturers are beginning to release their second generation SSD product lines. Today we have for review OCZ's second generation "mainstream" SSD, the OCZ Agility 120GB SSD. Back in May, OCIA.net site owner Shawn Knight had a chance to look at the first generation of mainstream SSDs from OCZ. That mainstream SSD, the Apex, performed exceedingly well for its price-point. Today, we'll see how substantially SSD consumers benefit from the development of technology over time.
