We first saw the Patriot Wildfire back in June of 2011 and at the time it was one of the hottest new SSDs on the market. That was around 9 months ago so while no longer new, Wildfire is still competitive with, and considered one of the best on the market today. The key to Wildfire's longevity is the Toshiba Toggle Mode flash Patriot chose to use on this SSD.
Toshiba and their partner SanDisk has received a lot of press lately for their new 24nm Toggle Mode flash. The new 24nm flash has proven to be very fast, but that is about the only thing it's proved so far. We're still seeing issues in our labs with write performance degrading rapidly until TRIM finishes its cycle. This was not a problem on the older 32nm Toggle Mode flash, the same used on the Patriot Wildfire.
Samsung’s experience with SSDs didn’t start with the 830 Series SSD. Samsung can rightfully claim to be one of the originators of solid state storage as it is currently known and the 830 is the culmination of that knowledge and experience. Based around a lineup of 27nm Toggle NAND, 256MBs of low power DRAM, and a tri-core ARM controller, the 830 is very much a product of Samsung’s many disciplines.
We were picked up from the Hsin Chu high speed rail station by our friendly marketing contact at Kingston who drove us directly to Kingston's ten SMT-line ready Taiwan factory, which is about 15 minutes from our entry point back to Taipei. We were told that this factory only (we laughed when Kingston said its Taiwan facility is a small operation) has 600 employees.
With the introduction set, it brings us to the reason for this article and that is our factory tour. We were exclusively invited into the Kingston factory where few media have been and got shown the process of making an SSD from start to finish. Due to media restrictions, we were not allowed to produce a video of the tour, but we were allowed to take photos. Obviously Kingston is a market leader in memory and SSD products and there is plenty of sensitive machinery and such - and we needed to respect that and their rules.
It wasn't long ago that a 10,000 RPM spinning VelociRaptor drive was the pinnacle of computer storage performance and enthusiasts flocked to them. Now that the SSD has proliferated, many have forgotten about these once coveted drives. Western Digital as increased the capacity to 1TB and upped the performance 25%. How will it compete with the likes of hybrid drives and the older VelociRaptor drives? Read on to see.
If you haven’t heard of SSD caching as of yet, get ready for a technology that will definitely catch your eye. SSD caching is a very simple computer upgrade that will see your system run like a race horse without any technical ‘know how’ or need to reformat whatsoever. Follow along as we work our way through an analysis of the Corsair Accelerator 60GB Caching SSD and examine just how effective of a solution this may be for its low advertised price. It may be a move that you cannot afford to pass on any longer.
RunCore reaches for IMFT synchronous flash to power the new Pro V SandForce 2281 SSD controlled model.
It's like the full size model, only thinner and a little faster. Check out our first SSD review from DMS.
In unserem heutigen Test beschäftigen wir uns einmal mehr mit Solid-State-Laufwerken. Diesmal richten wir unseren Fokus auf sechs Modelle, die den Controller SandForce SF2281 verwenden, und betrachten insbesondere den Einfluss der Speicherkapazität und der Flash-Chips auf die Geschwindigkeit.
Dass sich die Speicherkapazität von SSDs auf deren Performance, insbesondere auf die Schreibleistung, auswirkt, dürfte weithin bekannt sein. Doch wenn man die Eckdaten der Sandforce-basierenden Modelle betrachtet, scheinen diese hiervon gar nicht betroffen zu sein. Zudem werden drei unterschiedliche Typen von Flash-Speicher verbaut (ONFi 2.x Synchron, ONFi 1.0 Asynchron und Toggle-Mode), die offenbar zu sehr ähnlichen Leistungswerten, aber zu unterschiedlichen Preisen führen.
Today we’re looking at Hornettek’s “SHARK” 2.5-inch SATA drive enclosure. You take your existing 2.5” drive and put in the enclosure and voila! Portable drive! The SHARK utilizes USB 3.0 technology, giving it an edge over comparable products still using USB 2.0. Crafted from Aluminum, the enclosure is definitely one designed with the aesthetic-oriented tech crowd in mind. Keeping this in mind, does it keep up in terms of performance too? Read on to find out more...
Usually there is room for only a single hard disk in a laptop. When you need a lot of storage capacity the only option is to go for a 2.5-inch disk with the highest capacity possible.
Western Digital is not the only one with 1 TB 2.5-inch disks on the market, but the fact that the new Western Digital Scorpio 1 TB is only 9.5 mm thick means it will fit in most laptops. The performance is very good, due to the high data-density it performs as well as 7200 RPM disks. And to be clear, 1 TB 7200 RPM drives don't exist yet.
