QUOTE: "Back in May we previewed the Patriot Torqx 2 120GB solid state drive and found that it offered average mainstream performance that was better than the large OEM system builder solutions. In short, that was code for saying the 120GB model sucked for enthusiasts, but then again, this isn't an enthusiast SSD. The Torqx 2 did offer low access times that were a lot less than platter drives, so Twitface and web surfers still get the SSD feel, but only see small performance increases when transferring data.
With the ARTiGO A2000 storage server, VIA aims to attract a wider audience to the idea of network attached storage by offering this small, low-power network storage server. A barebones system based on the VIA C7-D processor and a custom Nano-ITX motherboard, the ARTiGO A2000 was designed from top to bottom to be an easy, long-lasting solution for the average user's storage requirements.
Die Erfolgsstory der Festplattensparte von Samsung liest sich inzwischen wie ein spannender Fortsetzungsroman, wobei die Hauptakteure durchaus nicht fiktiv sind, sondern reale Konturen besitzen. Mit der F1 wurde im Frühjahr 2008 der Grundstein gelegt, ein Jahr später folgte die F2 und seit kurzem ist die F3 lieferbar, zumindest in der 500GB Version, weitere Varianten werden sicherlich folgen, die 1TB Version ist bereits gelistet
Negative Aspekte waren allerdings auch zu vermelden, denn die größeren Exemplare (bis zu 3 Platter und 6 Köpfe) erzeugten kaum wegzudiskutierende Vibrationen, die nur über gezielte Entkoppelungen respektive Dämmungen zu kompensieren waren. Die F1 HD322HJ (320GB) brachte Abhilfe, da nur noch ein Platter und zwei Köpfe eingesetzt wurden, wodurch diese Platte zum schnellen Favoriten avancierte, zumal sie nicht nur leise sondern auch schnell agiert.
Seagate Backup Plus Portable Drive Seagate hat mit dem Backup Plus Portable Drive eine externe Festplatte mit variabler Schnittstelle (USB 3.0, FireWire 800, Thunderbolt) im Programm. Cloud-Funktion inklusive.
Launched just over a year ago, Western Digital’s Red line of drives, along with an easier to understand product line-up (Greed, Blue, Black and so on) have changed the way that many consumers look at their storage. The Red drives are built primarily for a NAS (Network Attached Storage) environment, but they are also suited for SOHO users who want drives that will deliver enterprise class performance but without the hefty price tag that the higher class of drive tends to come with.
With network storage becoming more of a common entity outside of the enterprise sector, for example in homes and offices, the Red line of drive have delivered enterprise class features and reliability with their three-year warranty for users with one to five bay NAS systems as typically seen in the SOHO and SMB sector where these drives are targeted.
As the density of storage has gone up we’ve seen the Red drives reach up to a whopping 4TB in a 3.5″ format, but with users wanting more compact systems, WD had to think ahead of the game and this leads us to the 2.5″ versions that we now also have on offer today. Offering up either 750GB or 1TB of storage each, the 2.5″ drives run with a, Intellipower spindle speed of 5400RPM and with 16MB of cache on a SATA 6Gbps interface, they are rated to handle a workload of 120-150TB of data per year, which for the most part is well over the data throughput that most small businesses will ever put their drives through.
It has been a while since a new Kingston release has come along and our last Kingston SSD Review was an extremely favorable one examining the Kingston HyperX Enthusiast Class SSD. It earned our Editor’s Choice Award. In fact, I still use the very attractive HyperX mini-tool that came with that kit daily. Today, we are going to be evaluating Kingston’s newest release, the SSDNow 120GB V+200, an SSD that like it’s bigger brother, also contains the LSI SandForce SF-2281 processor.
Thanks to the continuous price drops of storage media devices in the market lately whenever i log onto various forums to participate in various conversations and also see what's happening around the world i can't keep up with the number of threads from people who are looking to get new portable USB hard drives and USB flash drives. Unfortunately most consumers seem to first focus on capacity, then performance and leave quality for last but i can't really blame them with the current state of the economy. However I’ve seen quite a few people who always seem to place performance first and for good or bad that's pretty much the why we do storage related reviews since consumers need to know what performance levels they are getting with their hard earned money. A few months ago we reviewed the very fast TOURO MOBILD PRO 2.5" 500GB USB 3.0 portable hard drive by HGST and today we will be testing the latest and even faster 1TB variant.
Four 2.5-inch disks connected via Thunderbolt, it's definitely an interesting prospect. This way you have an extremely fast combination of disks with lots of storage capacity in a fairly compact package. If we have any complaints about the J4 it's that it's currently only available with hard disks. And while the performance of these 500 GB, 5400 rpm, 2.5-inch hard disks is quite good, we can imagine that many people prefer choosing their own. For example, four 1 TB disks or four SSDs. Or what about a couple SSDs combined with two conventional hard disks, that way you have the best of both worlds.
For today’s review we will look at the DataTraveler 160 USB drive. At the recent Digital Experience show in New York City Kingston was kind enough to provide us a review sample.
