Today on our test bench we have the latest product from Western Digital. The Caviar Green 3TB drive has the highest capacity of any desktop drive on the market at the moment and today we will look at how easy it is to set up along with the performance that can be achieved in single drive and RAID 0 modes.
The fastest memory stick on the face of the earth? OCZ is definitely gunning for the title with their Throttle eSATA 32Gb unit, we measured read speeds up to 85.9Mb/s, almost three times as fast compared to your standard USB variation. More performance numbers and stress testing inside.
The Thecus N4200 arrived and since NAS servers take a very long time to test, I dove right in taking my pictures of the box, kind of glancing over things and moving along. When it was time to open things up is when it hit me like a steam roller. The new OLED display is just gorgeous, a real improvement over the old display. At that point I turned the unit around and the real shock came; there is a battery slot and more importantly, a battery!
Over the past year or so I’ve taken a look at a few Solid State Drives or SSDs as they’re called and I’ve been impressed with them, as I rightly should be. Today for review I’ve got another SSD drive from OCZ that falls squarely into the performance class of drives called the Vertex 2 E, it’s a 120gb SSD that is just blazingly fast, in fact it’s the fastest SSD that I’ve ever tested. I’ve compared it to some other OCZ and Kingston SSDs and it just leaves the others in the dust truly. If you’re looking for super fast reads and writes, then look no further than the Vertex 2 from OCZ…
Until Marvell and SandForce released their first solid state drives Intel had a performance lead on all of their competitors. Unfortunately in our testing we found the 80GB Postville SSD lacked capacity and at the time the 160GB version cost substantially more than most consumers were willing to spend. Intel's ten channel controller was revolutionary, but forced Intel to release drives in odd capacity sizes.
Nachdem Hersteller OCZ Technology bereits 2011 mit den Vertex 3 Laufwerken neue Solid State Drives inkl. SATA3-Schnittstelle und SandForce SF-2281 Controller vorstellte und damit große Erfolge feierte, legt man diese Produktfamilie nun neu auf! Die namentlich als OCZ Vertex 3.20 geführte Frischzellenkur, setzt weiterhin auf den bewährten SandForce-Controller, bedient sich jedoch moderner 20 nm NAND-Flashspeicher (zuvor 25 nm), was durch den Namenszusatz ".20" entsprechend kenntlich gemacht wird. Das Ziel dieser Entwicklungen ist eine SSD für den Entry-Level-Bereich, bei der man den Fokus auf Preis/Leistung und nicht auf maximale Performance, wie bei anderen Produktfamilien im Portfolio, legt. Hierfür bietet man mit Vertex 4 und Vector nach wie vor entsprechende High-End-Drives, basierend auf neuster Controller-Technologie von Indilinx, an. Mit den 3.20er-Laufwerken trägt OCZ auch einem Trend Rechnung, auf den wir auf den folgenden Seiten näher eingehen möchten. Wir habe n uns die OCZ Vertex 3.20 mit 120 GB für einen ausführlichen Praxistest eingeladen, um die Kombination aus SF-2281 und 20 nm NAND-Speicher auf Herz und Nieren prüfen zu können. Wie immer wünschen wir Ihnen viel Spaß beim Lesen des Artikels!
Walton Chaintech, a company which manufactures lots of products like SSDs, Memory Modules, Memory Cards and Graphics Cards, does also produce Flash Drives. The AstroDrive 266X I have received for review is the smallest in the series, maroon colored. The flash drive has very good performances right out of the box, but Walton Chaintech also included a special utility on the drive to boost the performance even more.
Der Markt der Solid State Disks schien in den letzten Monaten zu explodieren und drohte ab einen gewissen Zeitpunkt, schon wieder an sich selbst zu ersticken. Zwar wird die Art dieser Datenträger immer erschwinglicher, was aber meist auch auf Kosten der Geschwindigkeit geschieht. Für wirklich pfeilschnelle Modelle muss aktuell immer noch tief in die Tasche gegriffen werden. Dies hat sich der Kingston, ein Speicherhersteller der ersten Stunde, zum Anlass genommen, ein attraktives Modell auf den Markt zu bringen. Die neue V+ 200 Serie kommt mit einem SandForce SF-2200 Controller daher und bietet nicht weniger Leistung, als eine teurere HyperX SSD. Wie sich der vermeintliche Budget-Ablege im Praxisschlug, klärt der nachfolgende Bericht.
Technology X will be reviewing the $399.99 priced 480GB version of the Crucial M500 family. It will be compelling to see how the SSD holds up with a new Marvell controller, if Crucial can deliver on their promises, and if ultimately the M500 name can live up to the hype, popularity, and reputation the M4 series delivered.
OCZ have just released their latest Agility EX drive which differs from anything we have reviewed in the past because it is the first SLC based SSD drive aimed at a price point to target the mass enthusiast market. While Single Level cell (SLC) and Multi Level Cell (MLC) are similar in design, MLC flash costs considerably less to produce and allows for higher storage density. The benefits with SLC flash drives are that they provide faster write performance and greater reliability, even at temperatures above the operating range of MLC Flash devices.
