Diesen dritten Teil unseres USB 3.0 Stick Roundups hatten wir ja schon vor einigen Wochen avisiert, letztendlich haben es aber nur zwei der ursprünglich geplanten drei Sticks noch rechtzeitig in die Redaktion geschafft. Das ist zwar schade, aber insgesamt 8 aktuelle Sticks vermitteln dann schon recht umfassend, wie es technisch um dieses Marktsegment bestellt ist. Dazu erhielten wir von Adata den Nobility N005 Pro und von Corsair den Flash Voyager GT, natürlich beide mit jeweils 32GB Kapazität, damit die Vergleichbarkeit zu den bereits getesteten Geräten gewährleistet bleibt.

KitGuru has reviewed many Synology products recently and our findings have shown that they have been incredibly successful targeting both the business and home enthusiast markets with high performance solutions. As many people are immediately discouraged by typical NAS pricing however today we are going to look at one of their latest ‘stripped down’ products for the mass market.

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.

Up until recently, Patriot Memory seemed to have moved back from the SSD scene and become focused on phone accessories and portable devices for their retail makeup. Today is a new day, however, and Patriot enters the SSD arena once again. Read on as we put the new 480GB Patriot Ignite to the tes in our first review of a Patriot SSD for some time.
As with many third-party SSDs in previous years, Patriot’s drives have typically been SandForce driven. Recently, Phison has become recognized as a solid competitor in the SSD controller game through their offering of great performance at a decent price. The end result seems to be a much closer look at Phison by SSD manufacturers, Patriot included with the introduction of their new Ignite SSD family.

The whole shapes and sizes thing, while it might not seem like an issue, it is actually a big problem when you try to use them. Patriot was one of the biggest offenders, their Magnum products managed to achieve up to 128GB of capacity which sounds great, but you can't plug them into an Xbox 360 or many other products that limit the width around the connector. Patriot isn't the only offender, around half of the USB 3.0 drives we've tested are oversized and either blocks other USB ports or just can't fit into some of the devices we want to plug into.
RunCore saw this as a problem too so when they set out to design their Pro IV MoonDrive they wanted to keep things simple and streamlined. The Pro IV MoonDrive's profile isn't that much different than the low cost flash drives you see at the grocery store hanging on a rack next to the batteries for children's toys. The build quality though is much more advanced, both inside and out.

Samsung is the only company able to deliver a drive to the consumer that is completely manufactured in house. Samsung manufactures their own exclusive tri-core “MDX” controller and writes the firmware for it. Samsung is the world’s largest producer of NAND flash memory which enables them to keep the largest cost component in house as well. All this puts Samsung in a unique position giving them the ability to produce the product for less than any other drive manufacturer.

Corsair was the first to send us a retail SF-1200 controlled SSD, the Corsair F100 100GB. That was quite an exciting moment for us since we had already tested two early pre-production SF-1500 enterprise drives. We knew that SandForce's consumer controller was very similar to the enterprise controller and that for desktop tasks performance would be about the same. Little did we know that SandForce had improved the firmware from January to March so much that the performance of the final retail products improved considerably. The F100 and other SandForce SF-1200 controlled drives showed us that the only thing holding back performance was the SATA II interface.

Corsair hat mittlerweile auch ein eigenes SSD-Angebot auf die Beine gestellt und zielt mit der X-Serie auf den High-End-Markt ab. In wie weit Corsair gute Arbeit geleistet hat und ob die potente Konkurrenz auf die Plätze verwiesen werden kann, ist in folgendem Review zu erfahren.

With SandForce on the verge of releasing the new SF-2000 Series controller, some may wonder why we are bothering with 2010 technology. The truth is that the darling 2010 controller will end up being a low cost, high speed controller for the first part of 2011. SandForce partners will be very aggressive with pricing on both old and new technology in 2011 to push market adaption, but it's safe to say that existing products will cost less than those fresh from the oven.
