On release, the SF-2281 controlled client drives leaped to the top of performance charts, but for some, reliability and odd BSOD issues plagued these products. In our testing only two drives experienced issues. The first drive made it through standard testing, but ran into problems when deployed in a daily use system. The second drive failed to complete our standard benchmark procedures, having BSOD issues out of the box. Both drives were later fixed with a firmware update, but for a company like Intel, issues like these are unacceptable.

Our recent RAID review of three Intel 520 SSDs on the Highpoint 2720SGL 6Gbps RocketRAID Controller opened our eyes as we didn’t think performance of 1.5GB/s could be reached with three SSDs. Those results were just a taste of what was yet to come as we simply had to throw eight Crucial M4 256GB SATA 3 SSDs onto the RocketRAID for a true run. How does 3GB/s performance grab you for a start? Unbelievable? That’s what we thought as well but we did it!

Nous continuons doucement mais surement notre découverte de la nouvelle gamme Intel 520, avec ce jour le plus petit des modèles, le 60 Go. Sans aucun doute le plus accessible, mais les performances sont-elles réellement au Rendez-Vous. Réponse dans ces quelques pages de benchs.

I'm a bit surprised no one has asked why Intel sampled most media outlets with two and in some cases three identical 520 Series 240GB drives for review. As a consumer I'd rather have seen performance numbers from both 240GB (our single drive review is here) and 120GB drives since these are the capacity sizes that make the most sense for computer users today. As you can imagine, no one is going to complain about getting dual 240GB drives especially media folks who are generally power users with PCs on steroids.

Mit der Performance Pro Series erweiterte Corsair kürzlich sein Portfolio an Flash-Speichern. Wie der Produktname andeutet, sind die SSDs für hohe Leistung konzipiert. Dies wird erreicht durch einen performanten Marvell-Controller in Kombination mit synchronem NAND-Speicher, sowie 256 MByte Cache. Damit die Leistung konstant bleibt, ist eine fortschrittliche und automatische Speicherbereinigung implementiert worden. Ob es der neuen Generation gelingt die Leistungskrone zu erobern wird folgender Test zeigen.

For years I've talked about RAID tuning and even gave some examples on a small scale. The LSI 9265-8i that we are looking at today takes the ability to optimize your RAID arrays to new levels and does so with a very easy to navigate user interface. The base controller with its dual-core ROC processor and 1GB DRAM cache has become the industry standard, but LSI didn't stop there. Add on packages like LSI's FastPath and CacheCade further enhance usability based on user need.
When our 9265-8i sample first arrived we were in the process of building a super computer based on the EVGA SR-2 dual Xeon enthusiast's board. At the time LSI was having issues with a handful of enthusiast class motherboards with the SR-2 being one of them. Since that time LSI and the motherboard makers have found and corrected several if not all of the issues. There was a time though when enthusiasts were pounding their heads against the wall trying to make everything mesh as it should.

The Seagate FreeAgent GoFlext Ultra-Portable hard drive is more than just a portable 2.5" SATA HDD. key to the system's brilliant usefulness is that Seagate designed this hard drive to interface with a series of modular cable interface adaptors, docks and a media player. It's what you'd call, really very flexible.

It was just over a year ago that we analyzed the Runcore ProV 3Gbps 240GB SSD as one of the top SSDs available, then surpassing some RAID configuration performance results. As amazing as that review was, it now stands to be a great example of how far SSD technology has progressed this past year. This report looks at Runcore’s ProV Max SSD which contains the SATA 3 SF-2281 processor, as did our report of the Runcore T50 120GB mSATA SSD that we reviewed a few months prior.

Les capacités des disques durs ne cessent de croître dans le but de pouvoir stocker toujours plus de photos très hautes résolutions, de vidéos HD ainsi que d’énormes bibliothèques de musiques. Pourtant ils ne suffisent pas par eux même à répondre aux attentes des utilisateurs dont les besoins ne cessent d’augmenter. Face à cette boulimie de giga octets, les constructeurs de matériel informatique proposent bien entendu diverses solutions plus ou moins réussies et efficaces.

Alors que le SATA 6 Gb/s natif se démocratise seulement sur les plateformes haut de gamme d'Intel (avec la commercialisation du X79 Express), ce dernier s'avère déjà presque saturé par les contrôleurs SSD modernes. En attendant l'avènement de son successeur, il existe d'ores et déjà une interface capable d'assouvir les débits réclam és par plusieurs contrôleurs en parallèle sur un seul et même disque flash : le PCIe ! Les SSD l'employant sont souvent associés à de la très coûteuse (et performante) flash SLC et destinés au monde professionnel, toutefois, OCZ acteur actif s'il en est dans le monde des SSD, propose avec le RevoDrive 3 une alternative certes coûteuse mais toutefois accessible aux passionnés en embarquant de la NAND Flash MLC gérée par 2 ou 4 contrôleurs SandForce SF-2281 ! Que vaut donc le RevoDrive 3 X2 480 Go face à un compétiteur basé sur le même contrôleur et testé en 6 Gb/s, puis 3 Gb/s ?
