The bottom line is that the Kingston 32GB Micro SDHC card is definitely worth considering if you want to add as much storage space to your tablet PC, smart phone, or other mobile device as is physically possible. 32GB Micro SDHC cards are not all that common yet, and the Kingston unit is a leader in terms or price and speed rating.
So our friends at KingSpec held true to their offer and we just received a brand new KingSpec PCIe SSD from the courier. This SSD is so new that there aren’t even data sheets available and you won’t find this on the KingSpec site just yet. Availability to distributors only occurred a few days ago. Specs for the MC2J677M1T list it at 2GB/s read and write transfer speeds with 84K IOPS. It will be available in 1 and 2TB capacities and it’s valued in the 2-3K range. On first installation (which occurred within seconds of the handoff), it booted right up to its own drive, verifying that it is simple plug and play. Thank you LSI!
| Runcore ProV Max 240GB 6Gbps SSD Review – The Gold SSD Earns The Gold Seal Once Again @ thessdreview |
Our SSD analysis today is of the Runcore ProV Max 240GB SATA 3 SSD. Most recently, we reviewed the 120GB version of this same SSD and it did so well, we challenged Runcore to up their standing on our Hierarchy Chart as we know that 240GB SSDs have just that little bit more push in performance. Runcore is a company that builds SSDs and SSDs only. Their forward and innovative thinking enabled some of our best reviews as was seen in our T50 mSATA SSD report; a personal fav.
Today we are glad to introduce another new brand that arrived on our doorstep; Synology. Synology is one of the famous Network Attached Storage (NAS) makers since year 2000 and DS109j is their economical 1-bay SATA NAS server for personal and home use. Besides that Synology DS109j is also equipped with Synology Disk Station Manager 2.1 which comes with luxury of applications and features.
It's really a big surprise to all of us the how far NAS devices have gone in the past 3 years alone not only because as we speak most offices and households where we're located own at least one but also because in 2014 alone manufacturers released roughly the same number of new models as they did in the two years prior (2012-2013). We did expect this to happen in the long run since let's face it NAS servers offer many things an HTPC (or even an mITX system) really can't such as size, reduced power consumption, price (depends on the model of course) and out of the box use thanks to the preinstalled OS and the plethora of available (and free) applications. Our focus lately has been on some of the highest-end models to hit the market lately aimed for SMB (small business) use but since many of you asked with us today we have one of the latest low/mid-end NAS servers by QNAP the TurboNAS TS-431.
PNY's Prevail 240GB SSD is supposed to ship with 3K P/E cycle flash, but we found a nice surprise in our sample. It shipped with 5K P/E cycle flash.
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.
We were picked up from the Hsin Chu high speed rail station by our friendly marketing contact at Kingston who drove us directly to Kingston's ten SMT-line ready Taiwan factory, which is about 15 minutes from our entry point back to Taipei. We were told that this factory only (we laughed when Kingston said its Taiwan facility is a small operation) has 600 employees.
With the introduction set, it brings us to the reason for this article and that is our factory tour. We were exclusively invited into the Kingston factory where few media have been and got shown the process of making an SSD from start to finish. Due to media restrictions, we were not allowed to produce a video of the tour, but we were allowed to take photos. Obviously Kingston is a market leader in memory and SSD products and there is plenty of sensitive machinery and such - and we needed to respect that and their rules.
For users with older based systems running IDE controllers, a device has cropped up that opens up some extra functionality.
A 2.5-inch external hard disk can provide that extra storage you need when you're on-the-go. Adata is one of the players in this market, so we tested three of their USB 3.0 DashDrive models with 500 GB of storage, the HV610, HD710 and HE720. They don't differ that much in terms of price, so we're curious to find out how they perform and what sets them apart.
