Today we look at how well Intel's most popular capacity mainstream SSD stacks up against the competition in RAID 0. Read on now and find out!
ioSafe send us their latest Fire and Waterproof NAS based on Synology DS214 device. This 2-Bay storage device is meant as safe haven for your data. Let's start the trial by fire!
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.
Throughout the Synology product range each other models available can come in one of three variations the first of these is the standard series and this has no indicator after the name giving us a model name such as DS414. The second option, which is indicated by plus after the model number indicates that this is a performance system offering the best features that Synology have to offer, whilst the third option indicated by a ‘j’ indicates that a model is geared for the entry-level user whose focus is more on getting the largest capacity as possible was not worried about performance either things too much. Typically, ‘j’ series systems have tended to come with a single core processor and by doing so this has kept the price point down, which for the entry-level user is more important than performance.
Today’s review is of the Mach Xtreme DIY series 32GB (MLC) SATA-DOM, a SATA II (3.0GB/s) miniaturized SSD designed for high-read, low-write usage scenarios that only require a small operating system; such as NAS enclosures, routers, set-top boxes, point-of-sale devices, hand-held devices, gaming machines, etc.
There once was a time, not so long ago, where an Intel SSD was the gold standard against which all other consumer SSDs were measured. That didn’t last long as other drive makers improved quickly and a handful of third party controllers emerged to level the playing field to anyone willing to put out a drive of their own. Since then, Intel has kept pace, mainly with third party controllers, but slowly invested more interest into the enterprise market. Now, Intel’s work in that area along with the hardware is being made available in a consumer drive with the 730 Series. Intel took has taken the DC S3500/S3700 drives from enterprise space and moved them down into the enthusiast market space and that is how the Intel 730 series was born...
The world of flash drives continues to change and, for the most part, many features we might like to see still aren’t present in today’s solutions. Simple software security that allows a secure folder to store sensitive data, apart from the normal storage area where we can throw daily data, comes to mind right away. And what about lifespan? Even today we wonder just how long our flash drive will really last and what type of performance drop we might see along the way. And then there is the issue of speed….
Buffalo's TeraStation is more than just a NAS - it's a Windows Storage Server with loads of features. Read on as we take a look at the 5600 WSS.
The saying, bigger is better, is that true? Well Verbatim would like to counter that statement by introducing their Store 'n' Go Mini Metal USB by saying smaller is better.
