It's been awhile since we looked at a thumb drive, but it's time to get back into the thick of things. Over the coming days we'll see three of the latest and greatest USB 3.0 thumb drives that are capable of holding large amounts of data and transferring that data at high speeds. The last drive we looked at was the Mach Xtreme MX-FX; today we are looking at Mach Xtreme's newest offering, the MX-GX.
L'Universal Serial Bus, plus connu sous le nom d'USB, ne vous est sûrement pas inconnu. C'est avec cette norme qu'ont vu naître les supports les plus pratiques depuis maintenant plusieurs années : les clés USB. La norme a évolué, après l'USB 1.0 puis 1.1 est arrivé l'USB 2.0 et les capacités évoluant toujours vers plus c'est désormais l'USB 3.0 pour le grand public qui a débarqué en 2010. Et c'est justement lui qui nous intéresse ici puisque nous nous sommes procurés différents produits exploitants cette norme. Faut-il craquer pour de l'USB 3.0 ? Munis de périphériques ADATA, nous allons tenter de répondre à la question et voir si l'USB 2.0 appartient vraiment au passé.
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.
At this point we've seen all of the larger, 256GB based SSDs and it's now time to start looking at the 128GB range. The 120GB - 128GB capacity size is important for manufacturers and consumers since this is the size that most of you are looking to purchase. The 128GB drives are very affordable this year, quite a bit less than the 2010 crop of drives and offer an amazing amount of performance.
Around the same time, Corsair shipped hardware review nerds a handful of samples. At the same time the first retail products were being shipped to retail and e-tail businesses. The reviewers found a previously unknown stability issue with their samples and reported the issue. Normally review nerds get products before resellers, but in this round a few cases of products were sold. I don't know how many drives ended up in the hands of end users, but I doubt it was 1,700 in the short amount of time they were available. I do know the end results aren't as potentially deadly as the Porsche issue. Yes, technically it was a recall, but it was handled quickly, openly and honestly. Corsair really showed what kind of company they are while handling this issue. The new, issue free drives are hitting e-tail, retail and hardware review nerds alike this week.
Hard drive docks have become as common as external enclosures and it seems everyone is making them. The docks out there all seem the same basic design, but the one I have today is very much different. For review today I have the Hornettek Slipper U3 HDD docking station. The name is interesting but fitting as you just literally slip your hard drive into the dock. The Slipper can use either 2.5” or 3.5” drives and is USB 3.0 capable for maximum transfer speeds. "
You know what I don't like about hot weather? Well, it has got to be the heat. (No kidding, right?) And with all the heat, sometimes it is just a bit hard to get my brain working correctly, and a working brain is very important if I want to write a good review introduction. The good thing is, by talking about the negative effects of heat alone, it already used up a few lines of the standard article opening length, and this really saved me some thinking in writing about stuff I really should have. Anyways, after wasting a good half a minute of your life you will never get back, what I want to talk about this afternoon is back to the topic of how awesome it is to own the ultimate sleeper laptop. This was first discussed in my G.SKILL F3-8500CL7D-8GBSQ 2x4GB review back in the nice and cool December of 2009. Fast forward a year and a half, what I have here on the table is something that looks practically identical to what I had in the past, at least to the average consumer. To be specific, I am talking about no other than my new Lenovo ThinkPad T420 laptop. Sure, it may look like something from the 1990s, but with a Sandy Bridge processor, dedicated NVIDIA graphics with Optimus, 8GB of Kingston HyperX DDR3-1600 RAM, and an OCZ Agility 3 240GB solid state drive, who is laughing now? The OCZ Agility 3 240GB is all about impressive speed, low power consumption, no moving parts, and decent storage space at a price that is still relatively affordable. Move aside, laptops that looks faster than what it actually is with 30 minute battery life: This is the real deal. Is the OCZ Agility 3 240GB the SSD to get for both hardcore mobile enthusiasts and performance desktop users? We got all the perspectives with benchmarks that are objective in our review today.
There are lots of advantages to external hard-drives, but not quite as many as a purely portable drive. First and foremost it allows you to safeguard your data, those precious documents, or that music library that has taken you years to collect. Secondly it allows you to access data where ever you are, whether it is at home, school, university, sat on a train or whatever else takes your fancy that particular day. While USB memory sticks offer the perfectly compact solution for moving around data, they are rather expensive for the capacities available, especially when compared to a standard mechanical hard drive.
Other World Computing is well known to Apple Mac users, because they've focused on their needs for many years. But when you offer a five year warranty on PC-friendly components, it's hard to ignore the value. The OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 6G SSD OWCSSDMX6G120T is built from the 2nd-generation SandForce SF-2281 controller, and delivers up to 60,000 IOPS over the latest SATA-6Gb/s connection. Best of all, OWC offers a no-risk no-hassle 30-day money back guarantee. In this article, Benchmark Reviews tests the OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 6G solid state drive against the leading competition.
Western Digital recently released a 1TB SATA 2.5-inch notebook hard drive in their Scorpio Blue Series that uses the standard 9.5mm height. This means that you can now get a 1TB drive that will fit inside your laptop that offers amazing storage capacity. We take a look at this 1TB monster to see how this 5400 RPM drive with 8 MB of cache performs on the test bench and compare it to a couple other notebook hard drives!
