It’s only a short time ago that I reviewed the Samsung 840 series of SSDs. The 840 series was the first consumer grade SSD to use TLC (Triple Level Cell) NAND. I am still conduction long term endurance testing on the 840 series SSD, and so far it has proved to be very durable.If the 840 SSD has a weakness, then it is most certainly its sequential writing performance, which by today’s standards is rather pedestrian.
Meet the new Samsung 840 EVO series of SSDs, which is said to address the lack of sequential writing performance on the original 840, and offer even more performance in other departments as well.The 840 EVO series is available in the following capacities. 120GB, 250GB, 500GB, 750GB, and finally a 1000GB version.
They all use Samsung’s new 19nm Toggle 2 TLC NAND, and also feature a new faster SSD controller. You can read about the new hardware on the next page.Samsung sent me two SSDs, the 750GB version, and the 250GB version which I will be taking a look at in this article.
I will cover the 750GB version in the coming days.So let’s find out how this new SSD performs in our range of tests.
Mit der Thunderbolt SSD von Elgato sowie dem Pegasus R6 von Promise (haben wir uns bereits zwei Massenspeicher mit Datenübertragung über die Thunderbolt-Schnittstelle angeschaut. Beide Speicher unterscheiden sich maßgeblich und auch der dritte Vertreter, die Pegasus J2, ist nur auf den ersten Blick ein einfacher Flash-Speicher mit Thunderbolt-Anschluss - doch dazu später mehr. USB 3.0 heißt die Konkurrenz, doch dies bezieht sich nur auf die Schnittstelle, nicht aber das Laufwerk als solches. Wir wollen uns die Performance des Pegasus J2 anschauen und gegen die bisherige Konkurrenz vergleichen.
Putting new technology to work is the Areca way. The name might have stayed the same, but this new ARC-1882i gets a boost in performance from its PCIe 3.0 connector.
Mit dem Revo-Drive bietet OCZ ein rasend schnelles, Sandforce-basiertes SSD-RAID auf einer PCI-Express-x4-Karte mit 120 oder 240 GByte Speicherplatz. Der Praxistest von PC Games Hardware sagt, was Sie von diesem ungewöhnlichen Stück Hardware erwarten können.
It seems like every week another company joins the SSD fray with a drive of their own. Granted, there's still a lot of users that still haven't made the leap from the trusty old platter hard drive. Does Zalman, a company best known for their cooling and cases, have what it takes to get a piece of the SSD pie? They're making an effort with their launch of two different SSD lines. We'll have a look at the N Series to see if it stacks up with the other SandForce drives already on the market.
Heute wurden zwei schnelle Crucial m4 128GB SSDs im RAID0 Verbund getestet, um noch mehr Performance zu erhalten. Bezüglich TRIM gibt es bei einem SSD RAID zwar nach wie vor Schwachpunkte, aber ob es in der Praxis wirklich von Bedeutung ist, werden wir im aktuellen Testbericht der Redaktion ocinside.de sehen. Das Gespann aus 2x Crucial m4 128GB im RAID0 tritt den Vergleich gegen 1x Crucial m4 256GB und gegen 1x Crucial m4 128GB an. Wir werden sehen, wer die Nase vorn behält und ob man besser eine große SSD oder zwei kleinere SSDs kaufen sollte.
One of the things i always wanted to try (and it seems many of you wanted that as well judging by the many emails i received when i first mentioned this) was to test the same exact hard disk drive with both SATA II and SATA III connectivity to see if there were any real gains at all between both models. Of course as you all know it's not very easy to come across two versions (SATA II/III) of the same exact HDD so it was pure luck when i stumbled on the SATA II version of the latest Ultrastar 7K4000 4TB enterprise class HDD from Hitachi GST (HGST now) roughly one month ago. Back then however i didn't have the SATA III version in my hands so this comparison was left unfinished until i did and that time has come.
The Torqx performed very well and near or at the top in just about all benchmarks. That being said, benchmarks do not always equate to how the drives perform in the real world and over time. I spent some time playing around on Windows 7 installed on the drive for quite while. I did a lot of multi-tasking, simultaneous file copies and moves, and played a game or two as well. I didn't notice any problems with stuttering and the system felt very crisp and responsive with Windows booting in less than twenty seconds from completion of BIOS load.
The SSD market as many people know it is inundated with drives that have one of LSI's SandForce SF-2281 controllers at their heart and whilst this is not a bad thing - given that they have proven reliability and some of the best performance to be had, they are not without their faults.
SSD owners today, use their drives for a multitude of tasks and breaking these tasks down to the way the drives see the data, we have two data types; compressible and incompressible. SandForce based drives typically use lossless data compression to minimise the write cycles to the flash in order to prolong its life span, however not all data sets can be compressed in this way and consequently when these controllers meet this type of data, the write speeds consequently slow down as the data takes more time to process.
SanDisk's Extreme series of drives as we have here today, are now on to their second generation and following the success of the original Extreme that was based around the SF-2281 controller, SanDisk want to take the performance up a notch to give this drive a huge selling point against every other drive out there. To do this, the SandForce controller had to be laid to rest as the way it handles incompressible data was not going to be right for an 'extreme' drive. As a result, Marvell has been brought in with its top end controller and this teamed with SanDisk's own 19nm Toggle NAND MLC flash and a 256MB cache is what is set to give this drive the grunt it needs to push it to the top of the SSD performance charts.
For today’s review Kingston has sent over their latest USB 3.0 flash drive – the DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 Generation 3 (G3). This model is Kingston’s latest USB 3.0 portable drive, which features data transfer speeds of up 250 MB/s read and 70 Mb/s write. From its name it’s the next version of the DataTraveler Ultimate line and is designed to work with both Windows and OS X out of the box. Of course a USB 3.0 port is needed to take full advantage of its speeds but the flash drive is backwards compatible with USB 2.0.
