With solid state drives becoming more and more mainstream by the day due to their continuous price drops it's no surprise that most notebook manufacturers and system integrators now even offer budget systems with at least one installed in them. The recent announcement of 4TB enterprise class SAS SSDs by SanDisk may not seem like it to most people but it’s actually great news since it finally marks the start of very high capacity models. Of course no one expects prices of Enterprise SAS SSDs to compete with those of normal HDDs (that applies to even plain SATA 4TB SSDs) but unless something new emerges in the storage industry in time they should come really close. What's somewhat disturbing however is that there are many people out there who still have no idea of what SSDs are or even that they exist so although i think manufacturers should focus on the reasons behind that i really hope it changes really soon. Today on our test bench we have an Enterprise oriented model that hasn't really gotten the attention it should since its launch roughly half a year ago the SSDNow E50 100G Solid State Drive by Kingston.
Are you looking for an external hard drive that is thin for easy portability? The ADATA DashDrive Elite HE720 is the world's thinnest USB 3.0 external hard drive at just 8.9mm thick. That is slim enough to easily fit in your pant pocket, purse or laptop bag! This 500GB external hard drive also features a “One touch backup” function which automatically backs up and synchronizes data. ADATA sent over the ADATA DashDrive Elite HE720 500GB external HDD for to check out, so read on to learn more about it and to see how it performs!
Recently Seagate began really pushing the high end of the storage market again with the launch of their Enterprise Capacity 3.5 v4 range. With models at 5TB and 6TB we can create some pretty spectacular storage systems but they are more than just that. Seagate have also tuned them for high performance... so massive capacity and speeds quoted over 200MB/s read/write from a single mechanical drive? Today we have the 6TB version attached to our system, let's see if it can live up to the claims.
Although SATA II may not be considered as the latest interface in terms of technological advancement the latest Travelstar 7K750-750 750GB 2.5inch HDD by Hitachi managed to surpass both SATA II and SATA III 2.5inch hard disk drives with relative ease.
Mit der Store.e Slim mit 500 GB Speicherkapazität legt Toshiba Wert auf die Softwareausstattung und ein edles Gehäuse, um aus der Masse an Angeboten hervorzustechen.
The NAS market has really heated up this year. Personal, corporate and service based cloud computing have brought a new vigor to the industry. At the same time, reductions in cash flow have left companies asking for more features and expecting them at lower prices. The global war on energy and fossil fuels is driving power requirements down and putting a new emphasis on power efficiency. To meet the large list of demands, NAS manufacturers needed to go back to the drawing board, rethink their strategies, evaluate their designs from a new perspective and then finally execute with a laser like focus on the key areas that have emerged as features required for the next decade.
With the economy the way it is today, businesses don't want to spend to get more than they need. When most of us think about rack mount servers, we tend to get a picture of large rooms full of racks with exotic cooling and more blinking LED lights than you'd find on the Death Star. The reality is, though, that most small and medium sized businesses need only one or two servers and those servers are tasked with multiple roles.
When it comes to PCs and MACs most people believe that the heart of the system is the CPU with the exception of gamers who naturally put the GPU (graphics card) above everything else. I too had the same opinion almost a decade ago but slowly and after countless of storage related reviews i begun to realize that the true heart of a system is neither the CPU nor the GPU but rather the storage device regardless of whether we are talking about mechanical HDDs or SSDs. You see no matter of what kind of CPU or GPU a system has you can always perform certain functions, perhaps not the highest demanding ones but you can nevertheless. However without a storage device or with one that has but a limited available capacity there's really that many things one can do especially nowadays when most people have several TBs of data. Now last month we tested the latest Enterprise Capacity 3.5 V.3 4TB SATA III enterprise class hard disk drives (former Constellation ES.3) by Seagate which pretty much dominated the competition. Well today we will be taking a look at the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) variants which as you will see later on had no issue surpassing their SATA brothers to become the fastest HDDs to ever pass from our test bench.
With so many portable hard drives currently on the market, competition is fierce and consumers are always on the lookout for the best bang for the buck. The Xigmatek Lighter is a stylish, low cost option that easily stands out. Not only does it look like an actual lighter, it's not much larger than one and provides an impressive 60GB of storage that fits in your pocket.
