The baby Vertex 4 128GB SSD grows up and with this newest firmware, it has quite a roar indeed.

Accidents happen to all of us especially when we least expect them and so it's always a good idea to store all our sensitive data inside rugged storage media devices that can offer a considerably higher level of protection compared to regular everyday ones. Unfortunately as we speak manufacturers have seem to focus most of their resources for the design of rugged PHDs (Portable Hard Drives) and not so much in the design of rugged USB flash drives. As a matter of fact the last and perhaps best quality rugged USB flash drive I’ve ever used was designed and manufactured by Corsair roughly 5 years ago and let me tell you that it was no coincidence that they named it the Survivor GT (the casing was made by alloy used in aircraft). Cost however always plays a huge role when designing a USB flash drive and so most manufacturers seem to favor rubber coated casings that offer both shock and water resistance at a fraction of the price. The DataTraveler R3.0 G2 is the latest USB Flash Drive by Kingston that features such a casing and with us today we have the highest capacity 64GB model.

Today we are evaluating the newest version of CacheCade, a storage caching system developed by LSI for use with their MegaRAID controllers. This system aims to create the perfect fusion between HDD capacity and SSD speed, accelerating new or existing storage subsystems that are already in place.

Well it's finally official, Chris Roberts and his team managed to gather over $6.000.000 for his next state of the art space-simulator called Squadron 42/Star Citizen via crowd-funding so all that's left is to see which of our favorite WC (Wing Commander) actor or actors will come back to give their voice to the game (Mark Hamill, Malcolm MacDowell or Tom Wilson? Hopefully all three) and to wait patiently for a full year until the launch of the first Alpha test version (easier said than done). In any case until that day comes we will follow our regular routine (because let's face it, when that day comes we may see several update blackouts around here) and so today we are taking an in-depth look at the latest (and quite small) Firma F80 32GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive by Silicon Power.

For the past several years, consumers searching through the available selection of Solid State Drive (SSD) storage devices have noticed that capacity continues to favor the hard disk drive counterpart. While it could be a few more years before any SSD matches terabyte capacity with the HDD, Intel's NAND Flash produced at 20nm is closing that gap in terms of price and storage space. In this article, Benchmark Reviews tests the Intel SSD 520 Series Solid State Drive against the leading competition to see if it's capable of delivering SATA 6GB/s speeds up to 550 MB/s and 80,000 maximum 4K random write IOPS.

We chill out with another cool looking enclosure from Icy Dock.

Nous avons reçu depuis quelques temps déjà le QNAP TS-269L à la Ferme. Et nous avons enfin eu le temps de le brancher. Ce NAS est tourné vers la haute performance et le multimédia et il vise clairement une place à côté de la TV. Nous verrons si vous pouvez le laisser s’installer au chaud entre votre box et votre lecteur Blu-Ray. Bref, au travail !

SSHDs haben es bislang schwer bei der Kundschaft. Geht es um die reine Geschwindigkeit, greifen Käufer meist gleich zu SSDs. Und als Datengrab reichen günstigere, normale Festplatten. Western Digital will das mit der WD Black 2 ändern. PC Games Hardware macht den Test.

Kingston, like other memory manufacturers, wanted to get into the solid state storage game a few years back. At the time they chose to partner with Intel, offering their own label on the chipmaker’s first gen SSDs like enterprise-oriented X25-E. Eventually, they branched out with new controllers from Toshiba and JMicron, resulting in a bewildering array of options. More recently, Kingston switched to second generation SandForce ASICs for the original HyperX, eventually leading to a host of SF-powered offerings for consumer and businesses alike. Part of what made the original HyperX such an interesting product was its use of 5,000PE cycle-rated flash. Due to their longstanding relationship with Intel, Kingston was able to get their hands on Intel’s special stash of 25nm NAND rated at 5K PE cycles for the first HyperX. That drive, and the more value conscious 3K model which followed, went on to become incredibly popular with enthusiasts.

Over the last year KitGuru has reviewed many NAS systems and we have been impressed so far with the entire range from Synology. So much so in fact that we have ended up with several of their products powering our business network. Today we are looking at the new RackStation RS411 which is targeted at business workgroups with dual LAN failover and link aggregation support.
