OnTop Technologies has attempted to combine a wearable, jewelry-like USB Flash drive with ample capacity and speedy data transfer rates with their Turbojet Whisper flash drive. The question is, have they succeeded? We take a look at the 4GB TurboJet Whisper and see how it performs and looks when you wear it.
Western Digital bringt mir ihrer SiliconEdge Serie SSDs auf Basis des aktuellen JMicron 618 Controllers auf den Markt. In wie weit die stärkste SSD im aktuellen Portfolio von Western Digital mit den Großen der Zunft mithalten kann, zeigen wir in folgendem Review.
SATA 6 Gbit/s sollte hinsichtlich der Leistung eigentlich eher für den SSD-Markt interessant sein. Die Mehrzahl solcher Laufwerke gibt es derzeit dennoch auf dem HDD-Markt. Wir haben uns Western Digitals VelociRaptor VR200M und die Caviar Black vorgenommen und sie mit Seagates Barracuda XT verglichen.
Patriot faces some stiff competition with a number of SSD's already on the market with performance specifications on par or exceeding that of the Zephyr. Will the JMicron JMF612 controller-based Zephyr SSD series rise above with its combination of price vs. performance?
OCZ Technology has been in the SSD market since the beginning, offering a wide range of performance and capacity products for both the value and performance conscious user. This review is going to focus on the OCZ Technology Solid 2 60GB solid state drive; a new SSD marketed and priced for the mainstream audience.
Enthusiasts on a budget now have another option for SATA 6G RAID and it comes to us from HighPoint Technology. Most of us old timers remember HighPoint from the early ABIT days when their UltraATA 66 controller was all of the rage and set us down the path of onboard RAID coming standard on high end motherboards. Back then a high-end motherboard only set you back around 200 USD and thankfully for us the HighPoint RocketRAID 640 costs even less than that.
The only real downside against buying an SSD is the relative small size and high cost …. for many people they still remain an elusive pipe dream. Sure they are dropping in price all the time, but compared to a mechanical drive they are still much more expensive. All is not lost however as leading manufacturers are already aware of this and have been offering lower performance, low cost units for quite some time and today Intel put on their ‘SSD for the masses’ t-shirt with the release of the 40gb X25-V SSD. This is a first for Intel and we are particularly interested as all the drives in their range are class leading units.
SilverStone produces a variety of products from cases and power supplies to coolers and storage enclosures. With the HDDBOOST, the basic concept is that we are combining the storage capacity of a traditional hard drive with the speed capabilities of a solid-state drive. That alone would be a good reason to look into the HDDBOOST but furthermore this device is targeted at users who have an existing system and would like a speed increase but don't want to reinstall the operating system and start fresh. SilverStone claims that an existing host drive can see an increase in performance of up to 70%.
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).
