The new DataGuardian USB 3.0 Flash Drive from Super Talent gives us the possibility to protect the data stored on it by locking its entire filesystem with a password; the user interface that pops up when the drive is inserted is user friendly and we can re-enter the password two more times if we got it wrong the first time.

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.

Mit der SSD 520 Series verzichtet Intel abermals auf einen eigenen Controller, setzt aber erstmals auf einen Flash-Prozessor von SandForce. Da diese bisher nicht unbedingt für ihre Zuverlässigkeit bekannt sind, sollen eine eigene Firmware und intensive Tests für eine hohe Leistung und Zuverlässigkeit sorgen. Wir haben uns die Leistung von „Cherryville“ angesehen.

The Touro Desk Pro 3TB USB 3.0 External HDD from Hitachi is a product with enough storage space (backup purposes) for most home users, provides high read/write transfer speeds thanks to the 7200RPM drive inside, to the USB 3.0 interface, and for extra value the manufacturer has included a free backup software, along with 3GB of free space “in the cloud”. The online storage space can be expanded up to 250GB, via subscription.

The Seagate FreeAgent GoFlext Ultra-Portable hard drive is more than just a portable 2.5" SATA HDD. key to the system's brilliant usefulness is that Seagate designed this hard drive to interface with a series of modular cable interface adaptors, docks and a media player. It's what you'd call, really very flexible.

Today we are unboxing another solid state drive. This time it is the Patriot Pyro SE, which is Patriot’s 3rd SATA 6GB/s drive. Their Wildfire drive uses Toshiba toggle memory, the original Pryo uses asynchronous memory and this drive will be using synchronous memory. This drive still features the SandForce SF-2281 controller and has read and write speeds of 550MB/s and 520MB/s respectively. Read on to check out our unboxing and overview of the 120GB version.

As SSD manufacturers continually pump out new drives that push the performance ceilings in an attempt to gain the top performer crown, Kingston has quietly introduced their SandForce powered SSDNow V+200 line that they refer to as the "everyday business SSD". With solid performance and an economical price point, should this be your choice for your single or fleet of PC’s? Have a read to find out.

If you own a desktop computer, or even a dual drive laptop computer, and you haven’t considered the advantages of solid state drives yet, this review is going to open your eyes. Our review today will examine the Crucial Adrenaline SATA 3 50GB Caching SSD and how it fits into the consumer market. We will explain the simplicity of installation, examine the performance gain and we will draw a very clear picture of how this SSD can benefit you in your typical daily computer activity

When it comes in SATA 6GB/s solid state drives or solid state drives in general there are a few names that come to mind, OCZ, Kingston and Patriot are just a few but Samsung is not really one of the them. For the consumer market Samsung gave us the 470 series drive and now they have entered the SATA 6GB/s segment with the 830 series. What is interesting about this drive is that it uses Samsung’s own controller, NAND and DRAM. Something we have not seen on any solid state drive that we have reviewed. The 830 series has rated speeds of 520MB/s read and 320MB/s write. Let’s see how this drive stacks up against other SATA 6GB/s drives that we have tested.

It wasn’t so long ago that we had a sit down with Crucial/Micron at Storage Visions 2012 and they spoke of their SSD plans for the year, the Adrenaline Caching SSD and production of a mSATA SSD being high priorities on the list. Shortly after that venture, we reviewed the Adrenaline and here we are back once again with announcement, and full review, of the new Micron C400 SATA 3 Client mSATA SSD. The C400 is not a retail item, however, fret not as we are sure that release of the M4 mSATA can’t be far behind.
