The days when an SSD company could take a basic ASIC design and couple it with MLC are long gone. To be competitive in the current enterprise SSD market, your company must innovate. Over the past few months, we have observed innovation happening on two fronts: ASIC design and NAND technology. Each area presents highly complex problems, which in some cases, have been relatively ignored. Certain companies are well positioned to solve these problems. Companies that produce their own NAND and ASICs have a high level of understanding of how all the pieces of an SSD integrate into a single product. They are able to push the boundaries of how the NAND and ASICs interact and squeeze every bit of performance out of the individual components. Micron happens to be one of these companies and Micron P400m is a shining example of what can be accomplished.

Performance SATA drives may be a dying breed, but OCZ is still cracking the market with their latest offering, now with PFM+ and a 5-year ShieldPlus warranty. Is this reliability and performance in one package?

Shawn just recently finished up the review of the Vantec NexStar 3 SuperSpeed 3.5-inch USB 3.0 Enclosure, and today I have the exact same product but in a 2.5-inch frame. This enclosure is sized for smaller notebook drives and designed for fast storage on the go. With up to 4800Mb/s theoretical transfer rate, USB 3.0 should be perfect for a solid state drive even, and whereas the 3.5-inch enclosure doesn't quite fit an SSD correctly, this 2.5-inch version will. Not to mention how much easier it will be to carry around. Immediately we can tell from the pictures that the 2.5-inch version looks nearly identical to its bigger brother, with the same mirror finish and chrome trim, gloss black color and blue LED lighting. The aluminum frame is of course smaller to accommodate the notebook drives, but other than that it's hard to tell the two apart.

Today we are looking at the latest high speed Solid State drive from Sandisk, the Extreme II. This follows on from our review of the Ultra Plus 256GB Solid State drive which we reviewed back in March this year. The previous generation SanDisk Extreme adopted a SandForce controller however the latest Extreme II model has the Marvell 88SS9187 controller onboard. Is this a drive you should be shortlisting for a new system build this year?

After our recent review of the 120GB Mercury Extreme Pro 6G, I think you are familiar with Other World Computing. The OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 6G didn't put the company on the map, but it did verify that OWC belongs in the same legend as OCZ, G.Skill, Patriot and the rest of the Team SandForce landmarks.

Nel corso degli anni, il settore degli hard disk e storage è man mano cresciuto, arrivando ad uno sviluppo, ad oggi, di tutto rispetto. Ormai l'hard disk è il compagno fedele di ogni computer o dispositivo elettronico, che ci permette di salvare ed imprimere nella memoria i nostri ricordi, le nostre foto, le nostre emozioni. E perché non portare con se questi "dati"? Ecco, quindi, che lo staff di XtremeHardware oggi vi presenta uno degli ultimi modelli di hard disk esterni di Silicon Power, il Diamond D05. Gìà dal nome si comprende bene l'importanza che un hard disk esterno possa avere. Silicon Power promette quindi un archiviazione di "classe".

Intel sévit maintenant depuis pas mal de temps sur le marché des SSD, en proposant assez souvent de bons produits. Le dernier SSD en provenance de la marque que nous avions testé était le 510, avec son contrôleur Marvell. Aujourd'hui, nous nous penchons sur le modèle 520, dans sa déclinaison 120 Go, un SSD qui exploite un contrôleur qui, ni plus ni moins, arrive de chez SandForce.

External hard drives have grown in popularity considerably in recent years. Most of us have experienced at least one dreaded hard drive failure and so we’ve learnt the importance of backing up files. One hardware device which makes backing up effortless and fast is an external hard drive. These are also useful for mass portable storage. Today we’ll be reviewing an external hard drive enclosure from ‘Rosewill’. This 3.5” SATA enclosure supports all the modern standards and can support even a 1TB hard drive. Time to take a look at the RX81-MP-US…

Up on our Test Bench early this morning are three of the most colorful SSDs we have ever seen, these being the Angelbird SSD2Go External USB 3.0 SSDs. Don’t let their good looks alone fool you; these drives are among the best built we have ever seen, scream out LSI SandForce performance at above 460MB/s and are as at home with a PC as they are a Mac. This speed has yet to be seen in any portable SSD before today.
