Corsair was the first to send us a retail SF-1200 controlled SSD, the Corsair F100 100GB. That was quite an exciting moment for us since we had already tested two early pre-production SF-1500 enterprise drives. We knew that SandForce's consumer controller was very similar to the enterprise controller and that for desktop tasks performance would be about the same. Little did we know that SandForce had improved the firmware from January to March so much that the performance of the final retail products improved considerably. The F100 and other SandForce SF-1200 controlled drives showed us that the only thing holding back performance was the SATA II interface.
The drive we have for evaluation today is the OCZ Vertex 2 50GB, the successor to the popular Indilinx-based Vertex we looked at a year ago. As you may have guessed, the Vertex 2 uses the SandForce SF-1200 which is now used in several other drives from other manufacturers besides OCZ. But what makes the OCZ drive unique is a custom firmware from SandForce that is optimized for maximum IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second).
Slow secondary storage has been the biggest persistent gripe about PC gaming for quite a while now. While CPUs, RAM, graphics cards and system busses have all been improving at a steady rate; hard drives have stayed more or less stagnant for the past decade. Enter the solid state drive. At its most basic level, a SSD has the same basic structure as a USB flash drive: a bunch of NAND flash memory chips, a controller to tie them together, and an interface that talks to the outside world. Where a SSD pulls ahead is, naturally enough, in the performance of those three components. Today we'll be looking at the RealSSD C300 256GB SSD from Crucial. Taking advantage of the still-uncommon SATA 6.0 GBps interface, this drive promises to deliver blisteringly fast performance.
So we’re going for another Samsung review today, this one though is of one of their newest hard drives called the F4. I’ve put it up against many other drives from other manufactures and even against the Samsung F1 and an SSD as well. The F4 is fast, it’s faster than all of the other drives except for the SSD, but in some of the tests it comes close. Read on to check out a very lightweight and fast hard drive…
This week has been an ‘SSD-fest’ on KitGuru and today we are going to take another look at the excellent Intel X25-V SSD 40GB units which we reviewed last month in both single and dual Raid 0 configurations.
USB 3.0, aka "SuperSpeed USB", is finally out, and it brings massively improved throughput and performance over USB 2.0. At 4.8Gbps, it's ten times faster than USB 2.0's maximum of 480Mbps. The only problem is that very few devices are available with USB 3.0 interfaces. Patriot's "Gauntlet" external drive enclosure is one such, and Benchmark Reviews checks out the Patriot Gauntlet SuperSpeed USB Edition PCGT25S external drive enclosure with an OCZ Vertext Turbo 120G SSD to see how its performance compares with USB 2.0 speeds as well as a direct SATA connection.
Mit ihrer Force-Reihe bietet Corsair SSDs auf Basis des schnellen SandForce-Controllers an. Wie sich das mit 40GB kleinste Modell der Serie schlägt, zeigen wir in folgendem Review.
mit der Enyo bietet Speicherspezialist OCZ eine sehr interessante Speicherlösung für gut betuchte PC-Anwender: Der USB-3.0-Anschluss führt per Kabel zu einer externen SSD, die neue Geschwindigkeitsdimensionen verspricht. Der PCGH-Praxis-Test klärt, wie schnell die Enyo wirklich ist und wer sie braucht.
Storage
SSDs gewinnen immer weiter an Bedeutung, und auch wenn große Kapazitäten immer noch mit saftigen Preisen zu Buche schlagen, so setzen sich die schnellen, lautlosen, kühlen und stromsparenden Laufwerke doch auch dank sinkender Preise und auskurierter Kinderkrankheiten immer mehr als Systemlaufwerk für Gaming- und Produktivsysteme durch. Und in der Tat, es gibt derzeit kaum ein Upgrade, das die Produktivität und Performance eines zeitgemäßen Systems ähnlich steigert wie der Einbau einer SSD.
Wir wollen uns heute ein aktuelles Performance-Modell aus dem Hause OCZ ansehen, das mit dem seit einiger Zeit für erschwingliche MLC-SSD's mit SATA2-Schnittstelle schnellsten Controller Sandforce SF 1200 ausgestattet ist: Die OCZ Vertex 2 60GB.
Today we have a chance to review a USB flash drive from Super Talent with latest USB technology; USB 3.0 which was released in year 2008. Of course the fanciest feature of USB 3.0 is the speed; 4.8 Gbps which is 10x faster than the USB 2.0 in theoretically. Without further delay, let's go through this device in-depth and see whether it is a right moment switching to USB 3.0 devices.
