This review is of the 6805TQ RAID adapter which has the newest feature of FAST maxCache 2.0 which uses an SSD to cache out the data that in order for the data to be Written/Read to the RAID volume at a must fast speed than just HDD heads can seek to Read/Write the data.
Based on the second-generation Everest 2 platform and featuring Ndurance 2.0 technology, the OCZ Vertex 4 solid state drive arrives one year after they acquired the well-known flash controller manufacturer Indilinx. Boasting the industry's best SATA-based I/O performance, the Vertex 4 series (VTX4-25SAT3) is designed to deliver optimized performance for enthusiasts wanting to capitalize on near-instant response times. OCZ Vertex 4 SSDs are available in up to 512GB capacities, and deliver up to 550MB/s read speeds with up to 95,000 Random Read IOPS. In this article Benchmark Reviews tests these specifications, and compares the OCZ Vertex 4 solid state drive to the leading competition.
With the Agility series, OCZ has offered excellent performance at a value and the Agility 3 120GB continues this trend. With its SandForce controller the Agility 3 hits read speeds over 500MB/s and write speeds north of 450MB/s making it a speedy drive.
The Everest 2 platform comes as a result of OCZ’s acquisition of Indilinx in early 2011 but it isn’t the first time we have seen the Indilinx brand stamped on a Vertex drive. The company launched the original Vertex SSD as one of the pioneering flash storage solutions for mainstream users with an Indilinx controller under the hood. OCZ jumped on the SandForce bandwagon with the Vertex 2 and Vertex 3 but have come full circle back to an Indilinx solution with the Vertex 4... well, sort of. But we’ll get to that in just a bit.
MyDigitalSSD aims for the mSATA performance market with the new SMART series based on SATA III SandForce power.
The Crucial Adrenaline is Crucial’s new SSD cache system, designed to speed up your hard drive! It takes a 50GB M4 SSD and their Dataplex software and caches all of your often used files, such as the ones required for Windows boot up and puts them on the SSD: giving you the space of a hard drive and the speed of solid state
Seagate has just launched a new external hard drive which may seem like a continuation of their FreeAgent or GoFlex series of drives. The new drives come in a variety of colors and capacities, features the universal connector they have made popular over the last couple of years, and includes pre-installed software to make backup simple and more useful than ever.
Today we are looking at the MemoRight MS-701 240GB Solid State Drive – built around the mSATA form factor. Is it particularly interesting because this is one of the few 240GB capacity SATA 3 SandForce powered mSATA drives available on the market today.
The Vertex is back, and this time it features more OCZ than ever before! (No, we're not kidding.) Powered by its latest Everest 2 platform, the Vertex 4 is a completely in-house SSD that not only brings Indilinx back to the table, but very well has the potential to be the most reliable Vertex-branded SSD we've ever seen.
Need big storage, but can't compromise on performance? At a time when 1TB SSDs cost as much as an excellent gaming PC, the obvious choice becomes WD's VelociRaptor - which not only recently received a refresh, but also a 1TB model. Let's take a look at it, and see how it compares to WD's other current desktop hard drives.
