At the start of the year during CES, the major buzz word of the show as we all know was 4K, but whilst this was a buzz word, in the storage sector there were other goings on the was stirring a whole heap of interest. For many years now we have been watching the solid state drive grow and grow, not only in terms of popularity but also their performance and most importantly capacity. One common factor that is associated with SSDs is with out a doubt their more weighty price tag in relation to their mechanical counterparts, however over the last year or so we've started to see the price per GB of storage come right down to a highly affordable level, which in turn has made the drives even more desirable.
During CES, Crucial had something rather special to shout about and when we look back to only a few years ago, what they had to shout about would have then sounded insane. This shout out that I'm referring to is a mainstream consumer 1TB - yes a ONE TERABYTE SSD. Because of the speed at which technology has been moving forward, we've seen die sizes shrink and bigger and faster NAND chips appear on the market, making the possibility of greater capacity drives, not only a reality, but also at a price that's not too outrageous.
So forward comes the M500 SSD from Crucial, a drive that not only packs up to 960GB of storage, but also has the tech inside to ensure that it keeps up the pace right through to the last byte as we will see later on. Like many other drives these days, the M500 fits into an ultra slim 7mm frame, which is quickly becoming a new standard, but as some situations still require the thicker build, Crucial also include a self adhesive 2.5mm spacer which can be quickly stuck onto either side of the drive to make it fit that much better.
Sometimes it can be hard to find an easy, affordable and reliable solution for external PC backups in one product. I have used several HDD enclosures and NAS products from several different makers and never really fell in love with any of them. Most of them have extremely complicated menus that you have to sift through to try and figure out how to change the RAID setup of the device. Then you have to wait several hours just for it to format a few hundred Gigs of space. In the past, when deciding on a RAID capable enclosure you really need to prioritize what is important to you and ask yourself a few questions. How much does it cost? How reliable it is? How easy is it to use? Keep all of those questions in mind as you read this review and I think you will be pleasantly surprised with this enclosure.
Iomega est un acteur indéniable du stockage, qu’il soit USB ou Réseau. Nous avons donc en test aujourd’hui un NAS deux baies qui se destine aux PME, ou bien aux utilisateurs soucieux de sauvegarder leurs photos de vacances. Nous verrons ensemble si ce NAS est à la hauteur de leur service commercial.
Following in the footprints of our Seagate 600 SSD Review last week, today we are examining the next in line of the Seagate SSD family, the 600 Pro. We had held back on our review of the 600 Pro as we wanted to see how it was going to place in the marketplace before tackling our angle of approach for this SSD. The number of e-mails we received that spoke to the 600 Pro a mainstream consumer SSD, positioning itself with the likes of the Samsung 840 Pro, OCZ Vector, and maybe even the likes of the Crucial M500, seems to be inevitable. After all, the 600 Pro appears to have much in common with some of the best SSDs we have reported on to date.
Seagate tacks on 8GB of NAND flash in its latest Hybrid SSHD, the Laptop Thin SSHD. Today we check out the 500GB model.
Lexar sent over the 128GB variant of their Professional Compact Flash line-up. We put its 1000x speed rating to the test.
Adata DashDrive Elite UE700 32GB Flash Drive Review If you are looking for a good and compact USB Flash drive give the UE700 a look. At a maximum of 64GB there is little need for anything else.
Synology's product line-up is pretty broad. At the top you have products like the DS713+, a powerful NAS with space for two disks. It's also very expensive. The DS213j is a much more affordable option, and you still get all of the features of the impressive Disk Station Manager firmware and room for two hard drives. It's a great way of getting introduced to a Synology NAS.
The Icy Dock FlexCage MB975SP-B is able to fit five 3.5" SATA HDDs in three 5.25" drive bays using a trayless design. The FlexCage MB975SP-B is powered by three SATA power connectors and is cooled by an 80mm fan with Icy Dock Smart Cooling technology. This 80mm cooling fan can automatically detect whether a drive is installed inside the FlexCage MB975SP-B and can also shut down by itself when not needed. The FlexCage MB975SP-B’s 80mm fan can easily be removed and replaced with any 80mm fan using a 2-pin or a 3-pin connector. Just like other Icy Dock FlexCage devices, the MB975SP-B’s body is built from aluminum which helps dissipate heat while providing excellent protection and durability.
