The 4k random write thoroughput of the F90 and F180 has now been increased to a thoroughput of up to 50,000 which now matches that of enterprise-level SSDs and this is done through a recent release of SandForce firmware only available in new drives. In fact, we can even say that this firmware equals and sometimes surpasses that of the SF-1500 drive and a little known fact is that the SF-1200 and SF1500 are actually identical processors in hardware composition.
The need for throughput speed has brought us to the next paradigm shift in data access: the Solid State Drive, or SSD. If you're any type of PC enthusiast then you know that SSDs use fast NAND flash chips to store and retrieve data, which have significantly higher throughput rates and lower access times than even the fastest of magnetic hard drives. These drives are starting to become cheap enough that they're within reach of the average consumer, and every computing enthusiast should have at least one.
There has never been a better time to pick up an SSD boot drive with many of the leading manufacturers releasing 30-40GB units at very reasonable prices. KitGuru has already looked at the Intel X25-V 40GB and we were very impressed with the price to performance ratio, especially when set into a Raid 0 configuration.
Corsair are now offering their take on the solid state cache drive technology with the release of the Accelerator. With capacities of 30-60GB they aim to offer a solution for those even on a minimal budget. Today we put it head to head with the competition, Crucials Adrenaline, to see who comes out on top.
A little over a month ago, we here at The SSD Review took Corsair’s new Accelerator line of SSDs to the test, focusing specifically on the 60GB model and how drive-caching technology affected system performance. Astounded by the results, we were curious as to how the Accelerator performed at opposite ends of the capacity spectrum. Hence, those of you looking for a more affordable caching drive are in luck as we take a fresh look at the 30Gb flavored Corsair Accelerator SSD.
SSD caching is becoming more and more popular and rightfully so; as things stand today, it is about the only efficient way to combine large storage space with enhanced everyday performance. SSD caching was initially meant for users using an Intel Z68 based motherboard, until the few major SSD manufacturers released caching solutions which could work with any configuration. One of these manufacturers is Corsair, which recently joined the caching SSD bandwagon with the release of the Accelerator Series SSD drives. In this review we will examine the performance of the Accelerator 60GB caching SSD and see how it differentiates from competition.
The Corsair Accelerator Series was designed to significantly boost your systems read and write performance by the least intrusive method possible. If you are looking for a quick and easy way to upgrade your existing system this is most certainly one of the best ways to do it. Sure you don't have to do any drive mapping or need to reinstall the operating system, but it isn't as 'no hassle' as we first thought...
Even though solid state drives have come down significantly in price over the past year, cache drives are still quite popular with those who want to enjoy the performance gains an SSD has to offer, without a large expense. They can also be added to existing mechanical hard drive systems to boost performance.
Der Speicherhersteller Corsair hat neben konventionellen Flash-Speichern nun auch spezielle Caching-Lösungen unter dem Namen "Accelerator Series" im Angebot. Das Besondere ist das Einsatzgebiet und die dazugehörige Software: Die SSD ersetzt nicht die vorhandene Festplatte, sondern dient als Zwischenspeicher für häufig verwendete Dateien, wodurch das Ansprechverhalten des PCs deutlich verbessert und flüssiger werden soll. Welche Vor- beziehungsweise Nachteile diese Lösung bietet, wird folgender Test zeigen.
The Corsair Padlock has been reborn with version 2 and is designed differently than every other drive on the market with its on-board PIN entry system. How does this provide added protection? We break down the Corsair Padlock 2 details to help you make an informed decision on secure portable storage devices.
