I've always said that NAS units/servers would one day enter our homes in numbers (meaning most of us would own at least one) but it seems that we're getting there a lot faster than i had originally anticipated since not only many of you keep asking for such reviews but sales of low/mid-end NAS units/servers all over the globe increase day by day mostly by end users. Now because of that we will keep our focus on testing all the latest single/dual/quad bay NAS units/servers since such reviews are both what most of you ask and also because most low/mid-end models feature one, two or four HDD bays. So today in our lab we have the latest SMB oriented dual bay NAS unit/server by QNAP the TurboNAS TS-269L.

The only thing better than being asked to introduce a new solid state drive to market is receiving what could be a game changing SSD out of the blue and from a company we had never dealt with prior. The PNY Prevail 240GB 6Gbps SSD contains 10K rated eMLC memory, LSI SandForce performance, a five year warranty and value. Is the fact that its lifespan is rated more than two to three times that of other SSDs worth taking a closer look?

The Vertex 4 SSD from OCZ no longer uses a SandForce processor, but an Indilinx Everest 2 one, meaning that we do not longer have a lot of space used for over-provisioning and we should not have performance drops when using incompressible data. OCZ have also fine-tuned the firmware so performance delivery is different after the drive has been filled over 50% of it's total storage capacity.

ADATA is targeting Intel Smart Response Technology users with its 24GB SP300 mSATA SSD. Can the SandForce SF-2141 controller and SATA 3Gb/s boundary-pushing speeds lure value-orientated and budget-conscious consumers?

USB 3.0 ist weiter auf dem Vormarsch. Entsprechende Anschlüsse gehören bei modernen PCs nun zur Pflichtausstattung und die Vielfalt an passenden Geräten nimmt stetig zu. USB-2.0-Sticks werden mehr und mehr von den USB-3.0-Sticks verdrängt - dank deren Abwärtskompatibilität. Für uns war es an der Zeit einen Blick auf die aktuellen Produkte der Hersteller zu werfen und so haben wir die schnellsten Sticks zum Test geladen.

The one question the always seems to resurface as we travel spreading the SSD word, is how an SSD is so much better than a hard drive. Even today, we are still at a point that this question seems to be the first question asked, even before the obvious, “What is an SSD?” As it does most, we think the answer may surprise you and will most likely have you jumping off that fence and buying your first SSD today. In today’s article, we are going to explore the single most important reason to replace your computer’s hard drive with an SSD. Follow along as we describe something that so many are missing out on.

SanDisk released firmware R211 and customers celebrated. The 480GB Extreme uses the same philosophy that made the 240GB model so popular. You get a very good SSD with real premium flash at an unbeatable price.

Nearly two years ago, OCZ purchased Indilinx and ever since we've waited to see the fruits of that investment. That time is here. The Indilinx Barefoot 3 controller graces the innards Vector Series SSDs for which OCZ, now under new leadership, promises to deliver with a renewed focus on quality and reliability in addition to extreme performance. Will the Vector deliver or is has the Indilinx purchase been largely a bust? See what we found out in our latest SSD review.

Today we are going to look at the Kingston SSDNow V+200 480 GB solid state drive. This is aimed at those users who require a high capacity solid state drive but don’t want to pay a premium for the performance offered by a HyperX drive. It features the SandForce SF-2281 controller which should enable some impressive performance figures. We’re excited to see how it fares in our tests.

Synology NAS devices are very popular, and with good reason. They generally perform really well, and have lots of features, but their main drawback is always their price. In this review we will take a closer look at the DS413, a NAS which is similar to the DS213+, except that it can fit four disks instead of two.
