With most people out in the market looking to find a cost-effective NAS server for home/office use (media playback, downloading and IP surveilance are the three primary reasons most people want them for) we naturally tend to do our best to get entry/mid-end solutions on our test bench mostly. However from time to time we also have to cater to the needs of the more demanding consumers and enterprise users who are after high-end models packing enough punch and features for a variety of heavy uses. ASUSTOR may just be around for roughly 2 years but through their very good products so far they've made it quite clear that they are here to stay so it was just a matter of time before people started to ask from us to test their top NAS Servers. Well we obviously listened and so today we will be taking a very thorough look on their latest 8-bay NAS Server the AS-608T.

The portable 2.5" drive has been around for a several years now and since USB 3.0 has become main stream peripheral manufacturers are already offering 2.5" portables in a USB 3.0 flavor. One manufacturer in particular is Lian Li who has always engineered some of the highest quality all aluminum computer cases and enclosures which have been second to none in the market place. We have one of Lian Li's 2.5" HDD External Enclosures that is USB 3.0 compatible, let's take a close look at the new EX-10Q 2.5

Since they entered the NAS marketplace a few years back Synology have been continually evolving their products. The majority of their products get a yearly refresh for enhanced performance and features and between hardware launches their DiskStation Manager OS has continued to receive significant new revisions. Today we take a look at the latest revision of each, the DS414j (their first j model with dual core CPU + FPU and USB 3.0) with DSM 5.0.

The 1TB Seagate FreeAgent Go performs respectably, with transfer rates you might expect from your typical USB hard drive. The slight differences in benchmark performance might not really matter though, because during the real world file transfer testing there was never more than a one or two second difference between drives.

In order to increase the capacity of your UPNP library then you normally have to just upgrade your entire array, which can be rather costly with NASes using 4 disks or more. Although hard drives are cheaper today (you can get a 1.5TB drive for less than $100), you have to buy at least four of them at once.

Es ist soweit, nach unserem im Februar veröffentlichten ersten SSD Roundup, folgt jetzt der zweite Teil. Bei der Auswahl der Testprobanden konnten wir auf zwei nagelneue Modelle von Corsair und OCZ mit dem vielversprechenden Sandforce SF-1200 Controller zurückgreifen, der über einige Besonderheiten verfügt, auf die wir im weiteren Verlauf des Reviews noch dezidierter eingehen werden. Darüber hinaus präsentieren wir auch einen Anwärter auf den Preis-Leistungs-Thron von Super Talent, die Ultradrive GX SSD erfreut sich allergrößter Beliebtheit, ein stichhaltiges Argument also, um dies eingehend zu überprüfen. Selbstverständlich vergleichen wir in diesem Part II die Testresultate mit denen des ersten Teils und den damals ebenfalls verwendeten HDDs, so daß euch keine wichtigen Eckdaten entgehen. Als einzige neue HDD haben wir die Samsung F4 noch integriert, damit auch in diesem Bereich die Aktualität gegeben ist.
Schauen wir uns also gemeinsam an, welche technischen Neuerungen der Sandforce Controller zu bieten hat und ob er die bisherigen Spitzenreiter in die Schranken verweisen konnte, dazu wünschen wir viel Vergnügen...

The TR4UT from Sans Digital is a strong contender in the external storage market. With four drive bays supporting up to 8TB of storage, both home and small business users alike can easily back up important files using USB or the newer, faster eSATA interface. Top it all off with tool-free installation, fast performance and quiet operation, and you have yourself an external storage unit that is hard to beat.

ADATA has a solution for that by putting a lip around the drive so the finish does not make contact with the surface it is sitting on. The status indicator for the drive is a bright blue LED that clearly indicates when the drive is powered and transferring data.

TechwareLabs takes a look at the ARAID 2200-GP which promises to be the next best friend of small businesses and serious home computing. The 2200-GP packs hardware RAID 1 into a simple plug and play package that fits into two 5.25" bays. We show you why the 2200-GP is a device no small business should be without considering its low price, excellent performance, and no non-sense backup. Find out if our test system survives us yanking a drive out in real time and then shoving it back in. Does the 2200-GP crash or continue without missing a beat?

If you could build an SSD, what would you make? In this rare opportunity, Chris took on the role of product manager and built what he considers the best SSD on the market today.
