Samsung, memory makers and court room opponents of Apple. Today they stand charged with producing a good quality SSD of the 128GB variety. In the docket is this brushed aluminium drive from the 470 range. Let’s put it through it’s paces and see what the verdict is.

Although USB 3.0 and 5400RPM HDDs don't make the fastest combination around still the Share Steno AC430 by Apacer manages to output very good data transfer speeds while its very high quality brushed aluminum enclosure along with the leather carrying case are sure to leave you with the best possible impressions.

Cram six SandForce SF-1500 controllers in a RAID 0 array with 384GB of SLC NAND and one high-end RAID controller on one device and what do you have? A $11,500 MSRP solid state drive that blazes up to 240k IOPs and calls your SSD a sissy. Yeah, its like that. Read on to see how the LSI WarpDrive SLP-300 performs in our test system!

With these Extreme SSDs, SanDisk has proven it can make quality SSDs with reasonable performance. Unlike the SanDisk U100 SSDs from its OEM division that perform more like USB sticks in 2.5-inch format, the Extreme SSDs do perform well. And when an important party like SanDisk enters the consumer SSD market, that's only good news for both competition and innovation.

The competition among Solid State Drive manufacturers is reminiscent of the video card wars between AMD and NVIDIA a few years ago. The invention of new controller technology has slowed somewhat, while each company races to combine high-speed NAND with custom firmware tweaks to produce the fastest SSD speeds possible. The Indilinx Barefoot controller has exploited a dominant hold over the consumer SSD market during the past several months, and 'overclocked' Solid State Drive products are beginning to replace 'new' product designs. In this article, Benchmark Reviews tests the fastest MLC SSD we've discovered to-date: the 256GB eXtreme-edition Corsair X256 CMFSSD-256D1.

The idea of storage over an expansion slot isn't new, as RAM-based hard drives have been around for several years, although popularity has been virtually non-existent and prices were astronomical. OCZ has rejuvenated this idea recently with the release of their Z-Drives and RevoDrive PCI-Express solid state drives. Today we will be taking a look at the latter to see if it's a better option than a traditional 2.5” SSD for desktop environments.

We've mentioned numerous times in the past that SATA III compatible solid state drives (SSDs) have pretty much maxed out the performance limit of that standard (bandwidth limitations) and although that might be just in maximum read/write data transfer speeds and not continuous/constant ones (that would be nice to see) the end result doesn't really change. PCIe and M.2 based SSDs have surpassed that limitation both in maximum and constant read/write performance for a while now and although the first tend to cost quite a bit more compared to regular SATA III ones while the second are not compatible with older mainboards in the end these drives are a way out for people who are looking for something faster. It may have taken a while for them to do so but Kingston finally released their very own HyperX PCIe and M.2 models inside 2015 and with us today we have the top of the line Predator 480GB M.2 PCIe G2 SSD.

Während die Kapazitäten moderner USB-Sticks stetig wachsen und mittlerweile bei bis zu 64 GB angekommen sind, herrscht in puncto Schnittstelle seit Jahren stillstand. USB 3.0 ist zwar in Sicht, aber noch lange nicht verfügbar. Eine Alternative mit immer weiterer Verbreitung bietet sich jedoch mit eSATA. Was ein solcher Datenstick leisten kann, haben wir uns anhand OCZs Throttle näher angesehen.

It had been some time since OCZ released the RevoDrive X2, instead concentrating on various SATA based drives based on the latest Sandforce controller but last month a press release was sent out stating that the RevoDrive 3 and RevoDrive 3 X2 were ready for release. Today we have the higher specification model, the X2 attached to our test system and will be putting it through a selection of real world and synthetic tests to find out if OCZ can meet their claims of 1500MB/s speed and 230k IOPS.

Gestern - Heute - Morgen: SSDs sind präsent und der Ruf des schnellen Speicher-Mediums haftet ihnen ebenso an, wie der Ruf des hochpreisigen PC-Produktes. Doch diese Optionen werden immer günstiger in der Preisdarbietung und gleichzeitig steigt die Zuverlässigkeit. Mit Einführung der SATA-6Gb/s-Schnittstelle wurde das Aufsehen um die Performance größer. Diese wächst und ein bekannter Spieler im Markt, präsentiert ein neues Produkt. Unser heutiger Test zeigt die Corsair Neutron GTX.
