The Seagate 750GB Momentus XT is a fairly typical 7200RPM hard drive that has been optimized with 8GB of flash memory cache. After Seagate's Adaptive Memory technology learns what data to move into the cache, those tasks execute much faster than on a typical hard drive. While still not as fast as a SSD, the drive was noticeably faster than a standard hard drive.
Just 2 days prior to getting into 2013 we had to sit down and pick the first product reviews which would get us into 2013 for good and since recently we promised to bridge the gap created in our SSD reviews section we decided to test yet another such product. Now if you read our Intel 335 SSD review you should be well aware that the performance factor regarding SATA III solid state drives hasn't really changed that much in 2012 (always compared to 2011) and so at least until the new controllers arrive in late Q1 (if all goes according to plan) we really can't expect to come across anything that will blow what we currently know out of the water. 2012 however did see a significant price drop in SSDs and so currently consumer models with capacities up to 240GB are surprisingly easy to acquire. Still there are some SSDs in the market with businesses as their target audience and the Kingston SSDNow KC100 240GB solid state drive we have here with us today is such a solution.
Almost everyone reading this review is likely to have a small USB 2.0 flash drive at home or work. They can be used for transferring files between machines, flashing the BIOS of a motherboard and for offline mirroring of sensitive data. 2012 saw a wealth of fast USB 3.0 drives released to market from companies such as ADATA, Corsair and Kingston. Today we are looking at the new Kingston DataTraveler HyperX Predator which ships in staggering 512GB and 1TB capacities.
Cari lettori di Xtremehardware, oggi vi presentiamo una mini-recensione di un prodotto interessante, per tutti coloro i quali sono soliti utilizzare fotocamere digitali dotate di memorie CF (Compact Flash). Stiamo parlando del lettore Scythe “CF-READER” USB 3.0, un prodotto versatile e compatto, ideale per chi è sempre in viaggio. Buona lettura.
Perhaps one of the hottest tech items to hit in the last year is the ultrabook, a laptop typically measuring under 1/2″ thick, weighing less than 3 lbs, having performance as high as 1GB/s transfer speeds and being capable of up to ten hours battery life. As new and amazing as the ultra is, the consumer also learned of the solid state drive and, more specifically, the mSATA SSD measuring 1/3 the size of a credit card, just over 3mm thick and weighing just under 7gm. As with any other new technology, such things as storage capacity are considered premium and, even now, we are seeing systems sell for as much as $500-$750 more, simply the result of a storage upgrade from 120 to 240GB. The smart consumer is one who buys the lower capacity system with full intent of upgrading the SSD themselves and, in doing so, saves themselves hundreds of dollars.
No matter how much advancement in technology we see through the years one thing continues to stay unaltered and that's the continuously growing storage demands/needs for most enthusiasts and professionals. Personally for backup purposes only i use quite a few Terabytes and i know many others who use even more so i really hope that the 5TB HDD models will get released sooner rather than later (Q1 2013 is the projected date after all). Now as you all know lately we've been focusing most of our efforts into testing all the latest storage related devices to hit the market from internal devices such as SSDs and HDDs up to portable devices including USB flash drives and 3.5"/2.5" external HDDs. Still the market is huge, new models get released almost on a daily basis and so today in our hands we have yet another such device the Armor A15 1TB USB 3.0 2.5" portable hard drive from Silicon Power.
Intel releases the DC S3700 SSD for datacenter applications, featuring a new proprietary controller, optimized firmware and HET-MLC providing ten drive writes per day of endurance and class-leading performance consistency.
The Thecus Top Tower N8850 is definitely an impressive NAS device, both in terms of design and performance. The firmware perhaps has some rough edges, but it's complete enough. It makes the Thecus Top Tower N8850 an interesting option if you want high performance and don't mind that it makes a little noise. It's great that you can upgrade the N8850 by adding a 10 Gigabit adapter or increasing the amount of RAM.
Our SSD analysis today is another first for us here at TSSDR as we have finally received a Mushkin Atlas 480GB mSATA SSD, the reigning champion in capacity for mSATA drives at this point and time. The interest we have seen in this drive, particularly pertaining to its height, has been somewhat of a shock as several e-mails have been received asking if we thought it would fit in such and such a laptop or ultrabook. To answer two of our e-mails, we installed the Atlas 480GB in our Toshiba Z830, and also, a Samsung Series 9, and had no problem with fit whatsoever. In fact, even we were surprised that there was so little height variation between the two.
SSDs sind heutzutage die erste Wahl für eine hohe Performance auf kleinstem Raum.
Die SSD Preise sind bereits kräftig gepurzelt, so daß mittlerweile selbst 256GB oder 512GB bezahlbar werden.
Wer allerdings sein Notebook mit einem größeren Laufwerk wie z.B. 1TB ausrüsten möchte, wird preislich eher zu einer konventionellen Festplatte greifen.
Und selbst für Desktop PCs oder Server kann sich eine 2,5-Zoll Festplatte lohnen, wie uns Seagate mit der schnellen Seagate Constellation.2 1TB 7200 U/Min Enterprise Festplatte zeigt.
Heute haben wir uns die Seagate ST91000640NS angesehen und mit der aktuellsten Firmware SN02 getestet.
Leider konnten wir dabei nicht prüfen, ob die Festplatte wirklich 1,4 Millionen Stunden fehlerfrei läuft, denn die MTBF Zuverlässigkeit entspricht damit bei 24/7 ungefähr 160 Jahre.
Testen wir deshalb erstmal die Performance der Seagate Constellation.2 1TB SATA3 Festplatte und vergleichen die Ergebnisse mit den bisher getesteten Solid State Drives und Festplatten.
