SSDs have slowly started shrinking in form factor from 2.5" with 9.5mm height to 7mm height and now the biggest reduction in size of all, the mSATA drive. These diminutive drives pack the same performance punch as their larger counterparts complete with a 6Gbps interface but will fit in devices that 2.5" drives have no chance of fitting. Intel set us up with five different capacities of their new 525 Series mSATA drives so come have a look to see how they compare.

Today we are looking at a new mSATA drive from Plextor – the 128GB M5M. Diminutive mSATA drives are without doubt a growing market, adopted in many laptop computers today. As we have seen in recent desktop motherboard reviews on Kitguru many manufacturers are now including a mSATA slot, an ideal solution for a fast boot drive.

In this day and age, storage is everything, especially when you're on the go, and there's generally speaking, two ways of having it in your life when mobile. The first is utilising the cloud and the second is via USB storage. Patriot's newest USB flash drive is aimed at users needing both large capacities and high performance and is branded under the Supersonic Magnum branding, though not for the faint hearted, as the range starts from around £70.

The Patriot Memory Gauntlet Node solves the problem of carrying large amounts of data and sharing it among mobile devices. With it you can install a 2.5" hard drive or solid state drive of your choice, and create a truly mobile storage device.

Le contrôleur SF-2281 n'est plus tout jeune, pour autant, ce dernier est encore très exploité. Preuve en est, Kingston vient de le sélectionner pour l'associer à de la toute nouvelle mémoire Toshiba MLC 19 nm. Résultat, 450 Mo/sec en lecture comme en écriture. A découvrir dans nos colonnes.

Our SSD analysis this week displays only the second consumer available SSD to hit the streets with eMLC 10,000 P/E rated memory. The KingSpec Challenger E3000s SSD is enterprise grade, LSI SandForce Driven, and relies on Intel eMLC memory. Unlike other SSDs tested to date, the E3000s was able to provide great low 4K random write performance of 112MB/s, surpassing that 100MB/s 4k random write plateau that has eluded so many others.
