Most of our readers of course have at least one SSD in their desktop and laptop, but for large volume storage you're still relegated to conventional hard disks. We tested 42 current hard drives, both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch models. Find out what the perfect hard disk is for your desktop PC, your laptop and your NAS device.
Heute haben wir mit dem MyBook 3.0 und der Airbox USB3 von Western Digital bzw. Sunbeamtech zwei Massenspeicher im Test, welche auf die neue USB3.0 Schnittstelle mit dem schnellen SuperSpeed Modus setzen. Was es dabei zu beachten gilt und wie sich die beiden Geräte schlagen, steht in folgendem Review.
The Western Digital Black² combines a relatively slow SSD with a mainstream HDD, but it's a unique and brilliant combination that's definitely more than the sum of its parts. The Black² is the perfect solution for when you only have one available storage slot but need both fast storage and a lot of it. This is the first time you can have both in a single slot, and is therefore a great storage solution for notebooks.
You may remember this chart of the SF-2200 Series Client Launch article from about a year. Listed on the far left is the SF-1222, the reigning champion of SATA II, first released in 2010. Just to the right is the challenger, SF-2141. The new SandForce controller is essentially a four channel 2281 with a 64GB capacity limit. On paper the 1222 and 2141 have nearly identical performance other than the IOPS. The newer 2141 doubles sustained read 4K IOPS (from 30K to 60K) and has a 6x increase in burst write 4K IOPS. The new 2141 does still have that 4 channel limit and we'll explore what that means today while testing the new ADATA S396 30GB SSD.
You can't tell by their identical exterior, but the Synology DS213 and DS 213+ are two very different NAS devices. The DS213 has a 2.0 GHz Marvell ARM processor, while the DS213+ is equipped with a 1,067 GHz FreeScale P1022 processor with integrated hardware encryption. On the front there is an SD-card slot and a USB port you can use to copy files to and from the NAS, but it's too bad that it's USB 2.0 and not USB 3.0. Synology included a handy synch button on the front to speed up this process. The user-friendly nature of Synology products remains the same.
Icy Dock has a wide variety of storage related products and among them are drive adapters. The sad truth is we need these devices as the PC case manufacturers have not yet made mounting of 2.5″ drives a standard. Even more saddening than that; many SSD manufactures conveniently forget to give you an adapter, which means adapters are a necessity. Add to this the growing segment of users going for lower power usage and less heat by using 5200-5400RPM 2.5″ drives in their desktops and one can see the need for adapters. Today we examine two of the many drive adapters offered by Icy Dock; with one thing in mind – utility.
Our introduction and analysis of the OCZ Vertex 450 6Gbps SSD marks the first release of the Vertex family with an Indilinx controller since 2009, a return that includes some very attractive features…including price. The OCZ Vertex 450 contains the new and improved Barefoot 3 M10 controller and follows the Vector’s lead by using OCZ in-house ASIC technology. Considering the success and performance of the Vector, one just has to wonder what makes the Vertex 450 so special.
As much as we would like to say that we wouldn’t have believed it if we hadn’t seen it, the truth is that this is one of those finds that has to be seen in operation first hand before anyone will believe it…but it was right there before our eyes. Today at Computex 2013 in Taipei, Taiwan, ADATA introduced their new line of enterprise SSDs. One SSD in particular, the ADATA SX2000, caught our eye right off. The sticker on the SX2000 depicts a capacity of 1600GB and, unlike just about every other notebook form factor SSD on the planet, the SX2000 has a PCIe 2.0 x4 interface rather than SATA. This SSD is the size of any typical drive you might see in a notebook.
Summer is perhaps the only time of the year when pretty much everyone goes on vacations and if you are like me and have more than just one cell phone, MP3/4 player, Bluetooth headset that means taking along with you a large number of AC power chargers and chances are that you will probably forget at least one of those in the process (i know i have in more than just one occasion). Kensington is a well-known brand name mainly because of the countless number of devices out there (including notebooks, LCD screens, NAS devices, HDD enclosures etc.) that feature their security slot but their product line is actually very long and also includes several gadgets that can help make your life a lot easier. One of those gadgets is their Absolute Power Dual USB Wall Charger which we have here with us today.
A ‘measuring stick’ seems to have evolved in the SSD arena where performance can be separated by the type of data being tested. Some SSDs excel in transferring compressible data while others in incompressible data, such as we might see in music, video and photography. Our report today will evaluate the new OCZ Agility 4 256GB SSD which houses the Indilinx ‘Everest 2′ platform, a platform that has been a true leader in incompressible data testing as seen in our Vertex 4 review this past April.
