Intel is back again with another MLC/SandForce Based drive sporting Intel’s customized firmware. This drive is the newest in Intel’s 300 Series of Solid State Drives. The Intel SSD 335 we are going review today is basically an update to the 330. The 335 is sporting faster and more power efficient 20nm NAND Flash Memory. There are probably some firmware improvements to go along with the newer NAND but overall the 335 is a 330 with 20nm NAND Flash.
It's been a long time since we looked at a dual bay NAS product. Most have disappointed us, and others never worked as advertised. Infortrend did something a little different with the EonNAS Pro 200 - they used a real processor and a liberal amount of DRAM. The result is pretty good, but quality doesn't come cheap.
OCZ unterzieht das eigene SSD-Lineup einem weiteren Update und setzt dabei verstärkt auf Technik aus eigenem Hause. Hierbei rückt die Übernahme und erfolgreiche Eingliederung von Controller-Spezialist Indilinx immer mehr in den Fokus und trägt weitere Früchte. Während man bei der jeweils vierten Generation von Vertex (Test) und Agility noch auf eine Kombination aus fremder Hardware und eigener Firmware setzte (Indilinx Everest 2), geht man bei der neuen Vector-Familie konsequent den nächsten Schritt: Der zum Einsatz kommende Barefoot 3 Controller von Indilinx stammt vollständig aus eigener Entwicklung. Damit erlangt man volle Kontrolle über den kompletten Entwicklungsprozess und muss lediglich noch DRAM-Cache und NAND-Flash extern einkaufen. Wie gut dieser Ansatz harmoniert und sich das neue High-End-Modell von OCZ im Vergleich mit der Konkurrenz schlägt, lesen Sie in unserem Praxistest der OCZ Vector mit 256 GB. Wir wünschen Ihnen viel Spaß beim Lesen des Artikels!
Der SSD-Markt ist seit längerem ein hart umkämpftes Geschäftsfeld und das bekommen sowohl die Newcomer wie z.B. Mach Xtreme Technology, als auch die etablierten Platzhirsche wie etwa Samsung oder Intel zu spüren. Die Hersteller machen es dem Otto-Normalverbraucher auch nicht gerade leicht wenn es darum geht, sich für ein Modell zu entscheiden. Die einzelnen Zutaten für ihre Halbleiterlaufwerke werden oft fertig eingekauft, verbaut und in einem eigenen Gehäuse auf den Markt gebracht. Wer sich da nicht von der Masse abhebt bleibt früher oder später auf der Strecke.
When solid state drives finally made it to the consumer market roughly 5 years ago no one could deny that they offered superior data transfer speeds compared to regular mechanical drives without at the same time producing noise and heat. However no one also could deny that such solutions had but two large drawbacks and that were their prices (for most people) and limited storage space. So the solution was quite simple for some and so back then Seagate immediately started working on a hybrid drive by marrying a standard 2.5" mechanical drive with a rather large storage capacity and a rather small 2.5" SSD. The idea was to use the HDD section to store everything you threw at the drive and the SSD section to cache the things you used mostly on your daily activities and thus provide you with increased speeds. The result was the Momentus (and later on the updated Momentus XT) hybrid drive which actually did quite well in the end and did produce better results than regular mechanical drives. Other manufacturers also decided to marry a regular HDD with an SSD but they followed a whole different path and so some did so with dual 2.5" internal enclosures (for example RAIDON), others by introducing cache SSDs and Hybrid PCIex models (OCZ) and a few by following the old RAID 0 solution which basically divides all your data evenly on two or more disks for increased performance. RaidSonic just recently jumped on that last wagon with their ICY BOX IB-RD2121StS 2x2.5" to 3.5" HDD/SSD RAID Converter and naturally we just had to check it out.
Always on the cutting edge of flash technology, leading the capacity vs. price ration, MyDigitalSSD is back with a new, faster Bullet Proof. BP4 uses new Toshiba Toggle 2 NAND with 16K page sizes for higher performance and the new over-provisioning increases random performance.
Today we start on an adventure. Despite reviewer's claims, Samsung has never stated the endurance life of its new TLC NAND flash used in the new 840 SSD. We're going to find out just how many program erase cycles the flash can take... in time.
Today we’ll be reviewing the recently introduced ADATA DashDrive Air AE400, which ADATA describes as a “wireless storage reader and power bank”. Unlike most of the wireless storage devices on the market, the ADATA AE400 doesn’t include any sort of internal storage and relies solely on either external USB drives or SD cards for storage instead...
While our performance comparison was limited to only one other drive of the same capacity, that comparison drive is probably is on top of the mSATA 30GB heap being an Intel 525 Series drive. That makes is a very nice yardstick to measure up the bantam Atlas Deluxe drive. In that regard, the Atlas measures up very well with performance numbers that are very robust for a drive of this size. The maximum performance attained is 555MB/s sequential reads and 379MB/s sequential writes. This is with compressible data and, like all SandForce drives, things change a bit when incompressible data is thrown at it. Max performance drops to 200MB/s reads and 40 MB/s writes which is on par with Intel 30GB drive as it features the same controller...
