Portable storage as we know is one of those fundamental items that all of us need to have in our inventory somewhere, in some shape and form, and in the modern world we easily forget how much we rely on data. Alongside data, we are coming to terms with how much we rely on our smartphones and if we roll back just over ten years to when the likes of the Nokia 3330 came out with it revolutionary WAP access and compare that to now, we see just how much things have changed and how important data is on the go.

When it comes to performance the Patriot Supersonic Magnum 256GB is hands down the fastest USB 3.0 Flash drive that we have ever seen when it comes to the synthetic benchmark results. Seeing sequential read speeds of nearly 300MB/s and 180MB/s write is very impressive...

Samsung is a very large player in the solid state drive market, but you may not have known. This is because they sell their drives in bulk to companies like Apple to use in their products. That is why they are not an known in the consumer or enthusiast market. In fact Samsung is the largest producer of flash memory in the world. One thing that is great about Samsung solid state drives is that everything inside is made by Samsung, the NAND, controller and DRAM cache. This makes it very easy for Samsung to correct issues or fix problems because everything is done in-house. We saw this on Samsung’s 830 Series solid state drive and the big difference between the 830 and 840 is that the 840 Series uses TLC NAND chips instead of MLC. We will get to the difference in just a bit. The controller on the 840 Series has also been updated. The 120GB version we are testing today has read and write speeds of 530MB/s and 130MB/s respectively so it sort of fits into the entry-level segment. Let’s take a look…

For the latest generation SSDs the Serial ATA 600 bus has become a true bottleneck. Not to worry, a faster solution is in the works. The organization responsible for the SATA standard is getting ready for the future of computers in a number of different ways. Today we will take a closer look at SATA Express, NGFF and NVM Express.

Samsung’s Series 840 SSDs offer great value for your money, but they use the relatively new TLC type of memory chips. These have a shorter lifespan than the more commonly used MLC chips, but how much shorter exactly? Samsung of course has full confidence in the longevity of their Series 840 SSDs, but there really is only one way to find out just how long buyers can expect a TLC-equipped drive to function: by testing the hell out of it.

The Intel 335 Series is known as 'That Intel Drive with 20nm Flash', but it's so much more. The 180GB capacity size gives you comfort room with Windows 8 and does very well in our power test.

Seit dieser Woche ist die neue M500 SSD von Crucial im Handel erhältlich, die nicht nur mit enormer Leistung, sondern endlich auch mit Kapazitäten nahe der 1TB Grenze überzeugen möchte und das zu einem Preis, wo manch andere schnelle SSD bei halber Größe liegt.
Wir haben heute die kleinere Crucial M500 480GB SSD CT480M500SSD1 mit integrierter 256-Bit AES Verschlüsselung getestet und durch den Benchmark Parcour gejagt.
Crucial gibt die M500 480GB SSD und die Crucial M500 960GB SSD CT960M500SSD1 mit einer Leseperformance von 500MB/s und einer erstaunlich hohen Schreibperformance von 400MB/s an.
Im SSD Benchmark Vergleich werden wir sehen, ob sie diese Performance erreichen kann und wie sich die neue Crucial M500 SSD im Gegensatz zu den vorigen Festplatten und Solid State Drives schlägt.

Late last year when I reviewed OCZ’s Agility 4 SSD, their Vertex series was still the highest performing model they offered. The Vertex offered both speed and IOPS that managed to just slightly outdo the Agility series. In what feels like a short time since that review, OCZ’s SSD lineup has re-worked considerably; putting the Vertex as their middle end drive, dropping out the Agility 4 all together, and introducing a new Vector line as the king of the hill high performer.
