We are going to follow with a description of SSD components along with an understanding of the purpose of each. This article will not only provide a solid foundation in your understanding of SSDs, but also, will also help in your final decision and choice of the right SSD for the job. If it helps in your purchase decision, it has to be good right?

The Desk Pro is a stackable external desk drive that uses USB 3.0 technology to connect to your PC or MAC. Three capacity sizes are available; 1TB, 2TB and the drive we are looking at today, 3TB. The Touro Desk Pro ships with two distinct backup platforms. The first is a seemless backup to the external drive and the second is a free cloud service with 3GB of space. The cloud service can be upgraded to 250GB with a paid subscription.

The DS212 NAS Server from Synology is a feature rich product with good performances, which integrates their own DSM (DiskStation Manager), really easy to use, with applications like Audio Station, Photo Station, Download Station and can be used as a mail server, to host websites and more. The enclosure is actively cooled and the HDDs can be easily removed from inside the product by pulling out the trays (however, the HDD installation is not screwless, the disks needing screws to be mounted onto the trays).

"Der seinerzeit eigentliche „Durchbruch“ von Festspeichern, besser gesagt SSDs, dürfte zum großen Teil das Werk der Chipschmiede Indilinx sein. Diese entwickelte einer der ersten massentauglichen SSD-Controller und trug so maßgeblich zum rasanten Aufstieg der SSDs bei. Wie so oft gibt es aber immer ein "danach" und so kam wie es kommen musste, Indilinx wurde vom amerikanischen Storage-Spezialisten OCZ aufgekauft, welcher bekannter Maßen SandForce-Controller in den SSDs verbaut. Die nun vorliegende OCZ Octane kommt erstmalig mit einem Indilinx-Controller daher und soll künftig das Preis-Leistungsgefüge, zum Wohlwollen des Kunden, durcheinander wirbeln. Wie sich der designierte Preis-Leistungskönig im Praxistest schlug, klärt der nachfolgende Testbericht."

With an outside temperature of about -30 degrees Celsius at the time of writing this review (That's -22 degrees Fahrenheit for those oddballs who still use such a weird unit of measurement, but we will leave that discussion for another day), sometimes, I kind of wonder where Al Gore is when you need him. Okay, I guess we do know where he is. So meanwhile Al Gore is happily tapping away in his Nashville, Tennessee mansion at above freezing temperatures, us here in Calgary could really use some warmth. A bonfire or something would be nice, as long as it is not inside my igloo house. Speaking of bonfires, a few months ago, we have covered the Patriot Pyro 120GB solid state drive. The Pyro 120GB is one sleek looking drive with the performance to boot -- a quick hop over to a popular online retailer's website shows us it is finally in the same price range as the OCZ Agility 3 120GB; its main competitor. But there seems to be something missing in Patriot's SSD lineup. If the Wildfire stacks up against the OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS and the Pyro against the Agility 3, what does Patriot have that competes with the vanilla Vertex 3? Without the need to come up with a completely new name, the Pyro SE 240GB we have here at APH Networks this morning is the company's answer to OCZ's Vertex 3. Enough said, let's get straight to the juicy details.

SandForce is back in town and it's here to stay. Intel's 520 Series is a full replacement for the 510 Series, but utilize the SF-2281 controller and custom Intel firmware to deliver one of the best SSDs we seen to date. If you already want an Intel SSD but don’t know which to get, we can answer that. Oh, and did we mention the 5 year warranty?

It is almost unfair to call Synology's DiskStation DS212 a NAS server. It is capable of so much more than simply providing network attached storage, that a different classification should be established. Sure, it does a great job as a NAS, but owning one simply to serve files on a network would be like buying a really nice Swiss Army knife just for the tooth pick.

Mit der Performance Pro Series erweiterte Corsair kürzlich sein Portfolio an Flash-Speichern. Wie der Produktname andeutet, sind die SSDs für hohe Leistung konzipiert. Dies wird erreicht durch einen performanten Marvell-Controller in Kombination mit synchronem NAND-Speicher, sowie 256 MByte Cache. Damit die Leistung konstant bleibt, ist eine fortschrittliche und automatische Speicherbereinigung implementiert worden. Ob es der neuen Generation gelingt die Leistungskrone zu erobern wird folgender Test zeigen.

Technic3D hat die ADATA S511 SSD mit 240 GB im Test. Wie viele aktuelle High-End Modelle setzt auch ADATA bei der S511-Serie auf einen SandForce SF-2281 Controller. Wie sich das 240 GB Modell im Test gegen die Konkurrenz behaupten kann, zeigt das nachstehende Review.

On February 28th we published our first review of the SanDisk Extreme 240GB, the first 24nm flash drive on the market with a SandForce flash processor unit. In the review we focused mainly on the low price point of the drive since the performance was still very close to the large number of Team SandForce drives using 25nm IMFT flash. What we didn't know at the time was our test systems were compromised in some way. I would love to give an explanation, but I honestly don't have one. It wasn't just the primary test system, but both identical systems and even a fresh build system based on another chipset, the older P67 test rig.
To make matters worse, even a brand new build based on another company's Z68 board did the same thing. After spending 18 to 20 hours a day working on the issue Chad Sebring chimed in with an idea, look at the drivers. All of the systems were using the same chipset drivers, but we were trying different RST drivers. After downloading a different set of drivers from a different web page we had TRIM again. It's safe to say that for the next couple of weeks I will hate computers. I HATE YOU COMPUTERS!!!
