Today system wide performance increases come from high speed storage products and Mushkin is still using their knowledge to help enthusiasts make everything better, faster and more reliable. Unlike many SSD manufacturers, you can buy Mushkin products on their website directly from the company. Mushkin also has a network of resellers, but in many cases the best prices come from Mushkin directly. Because of this, Mushkin, the SSD Company that you rarely hear about, has some of the lowest priced SandForce based drives available on the market today.

This has definitely been the year for SandForce as a lot of companies have plumped for the inclusion of the famous controllers on their latest solid state drives. Among these companies were market leader OCZ who have been at the top of the market for quite some time now and for a company whose knowledge was led by memory based products, it seemed to give OCZ a logical step in the right direction when producing SSD's.

Although not as popular and large as the leading companies in the field of external drive enclosures that didn't stop Ineo from producing a very cost-effective and blazing fast RAID0/1 unit, the latest I-NA309D-Pro USB 3.0 Dual Bay RAID Enclosure.

Over the last couple of years we've seen companies try and merge the two technologies together. These hybrid solutions have come in many shapes and sizes and for several different markets. One of the first to launch was from Adaptec with their MaxCache designed for enterprise environments. LSI soon followed suit and released CacheCade and after that we were greeted with products from SilverStone (the HDDBoost) and finally there was Intel's attempt with Rapid Storage Technology.

Have You Ever Seen 4.7GB/s Performance Benchmarks Before? Would you think it possible from an enthusiast point of view? Our tests of the Areca ARC-1882x RAID Card, when accompanied by 8 x Micron C300 SSDs, will blow you away just as it did us. Heads up though because we are going to throw fifteen pages of tests and pictures at you as we check out both RAID 0 and RAID 5.

Corsairs newest Performance Pro SATA 3 SSD is on our bench today and get ready for some great benchmarks! After Crucial’s M4 punch which came as a result of their updated Marvell firmware, it was only a matter of time before another manufacturer came back swinging with the same Marvell controller in tow. To be quite frank, SSD enthusiasts have made it clear that they want an SSD with superior incompressible data performance results and now they have it.

The NAS market has really heated up this year. Personal, corporate and service based cloud computing have brought a new vigor to the industry. At the same time, reductions in cash flow have left companies asking for more features and expecting them at lower prices. The global war on energy and fossil fuels is driving power requirements down and putting a new emphasis on power efficiency. To meet the large list of demands, NAS manufacturers needed to go back to the drawing board, rethink their strategies, evaluate their designs from a new perspective and then finally execute with a laser like focus on the key areas that have emerged as features required for the next decade.

"On the PCSTATS test bench today is a unique 2nd Gen. Solid State Hybrid Drive (SSHD) from Seagate called the Momentus XT. This hybrid drive doesn't run on Hydrogen, but rather combines 8GB of SSD-grade SLC NAND flash with a standard 750GB two-platter 7200RPM notebook HDD. Looking no different than any common 2.5" notebook hard drive, the trick up the Momentus XT's sleeve that it learns what data you frequently use and caches this to its 8GB of internal flash memory."

Neben der Speicherkapazität unterscheiden sich SSDs mit SandForce-Controller vor allem durch den verbauten Speicher. Doch welche Auswirkungen hat er auf die Leistung kleiner SSDs? Ein Vergleich der 60 GB großen MX-DS Fusion mit günstigem asynchronen ONFI-NAND und zwei Modellen mit synchronem ONFI-NAND beziehungsweise Toggle-DDR-NAND soll Aufschluss bringen.

Vor etwa einem Jahr haben wir uns die Crucial RealSSD C300 angesehen, die überdurchschnittlich gute Werte lieferte und seinerzeit unseren Editors Choice Award gewann. Nun möchte Crucial, die Tochterfirma von Micron, an dieser Erfolgsserie anknüpfen und bringt die m4 SSD - oder auch Crucial RealSSD C400, wenn man sie als direkten Nachfolger betrachtet. Doch auch der Speicherriese Kingston legt im SSD Segment nach: So stand der Modellname HyperX bisher immer für die hauseigene High-End-Arbeitsspeicherserie, doch ab sofort bietet der Hersteller auch eine SSD unter diesen Namen an.
