RunCore makes several SSD products, from PCIe SSDs made for a specific netbook model, to desktop / notebook 2.5” form factor drives like the new Pro V. At the time of writing the Pro V wasn’t listed on RunCore’s website, but the Kylin II enterprise was listed on a RunCore enterprise site that I found off the beaten path.

If I can describe the G.Skill Falcon II in one word, I would have to go with "fast" because this drive performs extremely well, especially when compared to the 5400RPM drive I am used to. With read and write speeds upwards of 150 MB/s, everything just feels so much snappier. Programs seem to open almost instantly, file transfers take less time, and my old Dell XPS m1330 laptop has become very snappy and feels like new again. So what's the catch? There is only one and that is the price that you will have to pay for this level of performance: over $2 per gigabyte of storage as compared to a few cents per gigabyte for conventional magnetic hard drives.

One thing that has pleased many a hardware nerd in the past few years is that geek culture has received a bit more recognition in main steam society; it's no longer hugely uncool to be a bit more technologically inclined. Because of this, there's certain nerdy fashions that are beginning to cross over; one of these is the pen drive round the neck. However finding one that appeals to women was always going to be a bit harder to do, however Moneaul Swarovksi have a solution: crystal.

One of Seagate's most recent innovations is the GoFlex system, which allows users to customize a hard drive with the connection that best suits their needs. While the connection options are interesting, the storage capacity is also very impressive. Pushing the storage limits ever higher, Seagate has released a new 3TB external hard drive... the FreeAgent GoFlex Desk.

SSDs sind in aller Munde, denn sie sind extrem schnell, stromsparend und dazu noch geräuschlos. Nachdem die ersten SSDs mit den MLC Chips noch sehr langsam waren, sorgten die SLC Modelle mit verbesserten Controllern und eigenem Cache wieder für Aufschwung in der SSD Branche. Bei aktuellen Modellen mit eigenem Cache werden häufig die SandForce- oder Indilinx Barefoot Controller eingesetzt. Auf den Platinen von Samsung und Intel SSDs arbeiten hauseigene Controller, die jedoch auch von Drittherstellern übernommen werden. In diesem Testbericht möchten wir euch die Crucial RealSSD C300 vorstellen, die auf den Marvell 88SS9174-BJP2 mit SATA 3.0 Schnittstelle setzt.

I remember the very first USB 3.0 enclosure I tested. The Buffalo unit was more than just the first USB 3.0 external drive I tested; it was the very first review ever written on a USB 3.0 external enclosure where benchmarks were also provided. As you can imagine, I was very excited to review the first USB 3.0 product online, but that excitement quickly went away when I realized I would need to talk about pricing. Last November that 2TB Buffalo DriveStation 2TB cost a whopping 399.99. There just isn’t enough whisky in Lynchburg to dull that pain.

Today for review Seagate has sent me over one of their FreeAgent Go drives, specifically the 500gb version. I’ve taken a look at quite a few Seagate products in the past and I’ve always liked them, the same goes for the one I have today. The FreeAgent Go is small and portable and relatively fast, or as fast as USB 2.0 will get you. It’s a 2.5” drive inside the casing, on that drive you’ll find some very useful software for backups, syncing and even encryption. As a bonus with this drive you’ll get a free copy of Star Trek when you register the drive with Seagate. So read on…
