Being a larger capacity size we compared the drive to the 240GB drives from Team SandForce products and again the Performance Pro performed well. The one area the 256GB Performance Pro didn't do so well in, well, let me first say in relation to the SF-2281 controlled drives, is when the drive was filled to 50% capacity. In this very important test the Performance Pro 256GB was a bit slower. So, to sum it up the 256GB Performance Pro was very fast, but not fast enough to take the performance crown in its capacity size group.

Sicherlich kennen die meisten Leser bereits den Testbericht der Crucial m4 SSD, den wir vor einigen Monaten mit den ersten Firmware Versionen erstellten.
Crucial und Micron war in der Zwischenzeit sehr fleissig und hat einige Firmware Updates für ihre m4 / C400 Serie veröffentlicht, die derzeit mit einer Kapazität von 64 GB, 128 GB und 256 GB bis hin zu 512 GB erhältlich ist.
Heute möchten wir die aktuellste Crucial SSD Firmware genauer unter die Lupe nehmen, um zu sehen, wie die Crucial m4 SSD mit der derzeit aktuellsten Firmware Version 000F abschneidet.
Die Firmware Version 000F ist am 11.04.2012 erschienen und ist nicht nur für neue Käufer der Crucial m4 SSD interessant, sondern natürlich auch für alle, die bereits eine Crucial m4 SSD in ihrem PC oder Mac verbaut haben.
Um zu sehen, ob sich für derzeitige Crucial m4 64GB, 128GB, 256GB oder 512GB SSD Besitzer ein Update lohnt, haben wir keine Kosten und Mühen gescheut.
Wir haben mehrere Benchmark Vergleiche der neuen m4 Firmware 000F zu den vorigen Firmware Versionen 0002 und 0309 erstellt und das Ergebnis kann sich sehen lassen.

I’m sure most of you have heard of mSATA solid state drives. They are one of the smallest storage options available. It is most likely that your ultrabook or even your motherboard has a mSATA slot. This gives you the ability to easily add more storage capacity or use an mSATA drive as a caching option. Today we are taking a look at ADATA’s flagship mSATA drive the SX300. It is outfitted with the latest LSI SandForce SF-2281 controller. Let’s see if this is the perfect drive to add to your system.

Up for review today I have something that I haven’t reviewed in a long time, an SSD drive. Yes it’s been about 2 years actually, wow time just flies doesn’t it?! So for review today I have the OCZ Vertex 3 240GB SSD which features the latest Sandforce controller and uses the newer SATA III connection for extremely fast read and write speeds. If you’re looking for a truly fast way to speed up your system and basically everything you do then this is it.

The Thecus N5500 is equipped with five hot-swappable SATA 3.5" hard disk bays for up to 15TB of total storage capacity if you use 3TB hard drives. To protect this data, the N5500 lets you choose from a wide selection of RAID modes, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and JBOD. Read on to see how the 1.86Ghz Celeron M processor does in the Thecus N5500 when paired with five 1TB WD Caviar Green hard drives.

Seven to eight years ago enthusiasts, professionals and hardcore gamers who decided to trust a brand new and revolutionary storage technology called solid state drives only had products from a handful of manufacturers to choose from including Intel, Micron, SanDisk, Kingston, OCZ and Corsair. Of course by then SSD technology had been in the works and evolving for much longer (over a decade actually) but it wasn't until 2007 that it made its first "shy" steps in the consumer market and thus was available to the masses at quite reasonable prices. Today there are literally hundreds of SSD manufacturers (most are OEM ones) around but it's always preferable to pick a model by one of the first ones to jump in the SSD wagon and since Kingston just released the latest addition in their HyperX line called the Savage we decided to take a look and see how it does.

The Silicon Power marvel M60 was a big surprise, not only it was able to give some outstanding results in our tests, but it was also able to give an outstanding performance in real life tasks.

Toshiba is a world leader in many different technologies and applications. In the NAND market, for instance, they supply components for some of our favorite SSDs. But, they haven’t really been known as a major player in turn-key storage products. While they have an impressive offering of mechanical drives, especially for automotive and industrial uses, they are dwarfed by the duopoly that is Western Digital and Seagate. For SSDs, they are a major OEM supplier, but don’t have a major presence in the consumer market. Toshiba is a member of a select group that produces their own NAND. This puts them in the enviable position where they get to pay cost for the most expensive and important SSD component. They have the technology and manufacturing capabilities to put them on par with the Samsungs of the world in the SSD market, but that hasn’t seemed to be a priority for them.

Which then brings us to our review for today – the OCZ Vector 256GB SSD. 18 months. 18 months is the time it took for OCZ to bring the Vector to the market, which makes the Vector the most extensively validated OCZ SSD to date. Now, let’s put that into perspective here. The OCZ Vector was officially launched in November of 2012, which means the Vector...
