Today I have with me one of Vantec’s latest upgrades to one of their more popular external enclosure solutions: the NexStar HX4. The NexStar HX4 is a quad-bay storage solution with USB 3.0 and eSATA interfaces. The HX4 lacks some features such as RAID, but makes up for it with a quad-bay classic individual drive mode enclosure. This makes the HX4 afantastic external enclosure for the home or small office. Let's take a closer look at the Vantec NexStar HX4.

Notebook schneller machen leicht gemacht. Wer ein Notebook oder Netbook besitzt und mit der Geschwindigkeit unzufrieden ist, kann die Notebook Performance schnell und relativ preiswert signifikant steigern. Viele denken beim Notebook Upgrade sofort an eine Speicheraufrüstung, an eine neue CPU oder an eine Übertaktung der CPU. Einen enormen Performancezuwachs bringt aber auch die Installation einer schnellen SSD anstatt der HDD. In diesem Testbericht zeigen wir auf www.ocinside.de, daß man selbst Notebooks mit einer IDE bzw. PATA Festplatte durch eine schnelle SSD aufrüsten kann, um so die Performance enorm zu verbessern. Getestet wurde dafür die Mach Xtreme Technology 60GB PATA 50-Pin SSD im 1,8-Zoll Format, die gerade mal 5mm dünn ist und anstatt einer Toshiba MK8007GAH 1,8-Zoll PATA Festplatte in ein Toshiba Portege R400 Notebook eingebaut wurde. Desweiteren wurde die 60GB MX-NANO 50 PATA SSD mit einem Adapter an einer aktuellen SATA 3 Schnittstelle getestet, um sie mit den zuvor getesteten Solid State Drives und Festplatten zu vergleichen. Wer den nächsten Urlaub für die Anschaffung eines neuen Notebooks bereits abgeschrieben hat, sollte sich den Test nicht entgehen lassen.

Synology describes its new DS414j as the successor to the DS413. It’s a 4-bay NAS device, aimed at home users and SOHO environments requiring up to 20TB of storage, and they put the emphasis on the ‘retro looking black chassis, dual core CPU … and USB 3.0 which combine to make it ‘the fastest and most powerful J series NAS from Synology to date.’

PCSTATS is testing out SanDisk's Extreme 240GB SSD, a 6Gb/s SATA III drive rated to 550MB/s Read and 520MB/s Write (sequential) in ATTO Disk Benchmark. SanDisk's Extreme SSD uses 24nm Toggle Mode MLC NAND Flash and the popular LSI SandForce SF-2281 controller.

The Kingston V+ 200 has shown good performance overall. It also comes with a great packaging and a three year warranty, but most importantly with a low price. If you are looking for an SSD that will give life to your laptop or your desktop PC without spending a lot of money, then this drive is one to look at very closely

Strontium looks to lift your computing experience with the new low-cost HAWK Series. This is the first time we've published a SandForce based drive with Hynix 26nm flash. This is also our first public outing with FW 5.0.4. Many firsts today, this will be interesting.

In terms of performance, Synology's DS411+ is tough to beat. Both read and write speeds are blazing fast and it can easily handle multiple, simultaneous file transfers. All in all, the unit is consistent with what I've come to expect from Synology – stable, intuitive, flexible, quiet, and easy to set up.

To say that Sandisk is an Innovator in solid state drives would be an understatement as we can all thank them for getting the SSD ball rolling. Sandisk was the first company to release their Sandisk U5000 32GB SSD to the public in 2007 and, on August 18, 2007, I was one of the first to publish a SSD review on the net with my brand new Sandisk SSD.

Every now and then it’s nice to let out a bit of a heads up what we are working on behind the scenes at The SSD Review. It just might give a bit of an indication as to what could be published as front page coverage soon enough. Take a look here to see a great disassembled Intel 910 PCIe SSD shot, one of the OWC Accelsior PCIe SSD and a great shot of 32 Intel 520 SSDs and 5 Intel RAID Cards. The best is yet to come!
