The DS114 is a fast entry-level NAS with room for one disk, and the Disk Station Manager (DSM 4.3) firmware is very versatile and comprehensive. We would still consider spending a little more for a two-disk model such as the DS214, because then you have the option of using a safe RAID 1 mirrored storage solution.
The Seagate Wireless Plus 1 TB is an external HDD that can be accessed through a USB 3.0 port as a regular external drive, but also has a Wi-Fi interface, being wirelessly accessible by a desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Let's test it!
ADATA has been in the business of developing memory and storage solutions for a dozen years and, in the process, has earned a reputation for producing high-quality devices. Its latest addition to the DashDrive lineup is the ADATA HV620 External Hard Drive. The HV620 is currently available in 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB capacities. In this review, Benchmark Reviews will take a closer look at the 2TB version of the ADATA DashDrive HV620 External Hard Drive and share the results of our testing. We will also take a closer look at its features, which include a scratch-proof surface, its glossy finish, and the raised lip around the perimeter of the device, which is meant to provide an added level of protection to the top of the HV620.
Etant lancés dans la série des NAS 4 baies, d’autres sont avenir, nous passons maintenant au Thecus N4560. Il nous est présenté comme un NAS installable en 5 minutes, avec une sortie Optique et une sortie HDMI, et enfin un NAS avec un ATOM dedans. Nous verrons ce qu’il en est.
Sachant qu’il est tout de même vendu sous la catégorie TPE / foyer, il devrait bénéficier de bons débits.
Over the last few years, the concept of cloud storage has been growing rapidly around the globe. As you may imagine, there are a large number of applications for cloud storage, be it for a small set of personal files that are kept on the likes of Dropbox or Google Drive; to the hosting of entire websites on cloud servers, but there is one area where many users see a flaw in this concept – security. Before I get on to the reason why some people are put off the cloud, its worth noting that it has a huge number of advantages. Firstly, when we start at the smaller scale options and look at the likes of Dropbox and Google Drive, there is the obvious advantage that you can access your files wherever you are with ease. I personally use both Dropbox and Google Drive for on the go storage and with the added factor of being able to access both services from my Nexus 4 smart phone, I’ve not go to worry constantly about having to copy files to a flash drive so that I can access them at home. With the cloud, as soon as I save them in the respective online folders, they are almost instantly available at home.
Looking at more of a larger scale, there is cloud web-hosting. Now obviously the internet is online, but for the most part, the website that you are accessing, such as us at eTeknix for example, is stored on a single server in a single data centre. Whilst there is a certain element of redundancy with the likes of RAID10 drives setups in place and of course backups are taken care of, what happens when the data centres link is lost to the outside world? It’s quite simple, the site goes down. Downtime for us is something that we dread and cloud web-hosting is built to solve this conundrum. With cloud hosting, a website is stored on a number of different servers that are located in different data centres – the result of this is near 100% uptime.
Bringing all this back down to earth and to the home, I will now refer back to the [above mentioned] worry that many people have when it comes to cloud file storage such as Dropbox and Google Drive – Security. When you upload a file to the cloud, how can you be sure that someone else has not had access to your data? After all you are not able to pinpoint exactly where your files are being stored at any given point. This whole worry over security and knowing where your files are being stored is what has driven Western Digital to come up with a simple, affordable solution. Bring forward the My Cloud.
The My Cloud comes with a very concise set of accessories, there is simply a quick setup guide, Ethernet cable and a power adaptor with UK an EU tips – no bits of unnecessary paperwork to be found here.
It's been two years since Chris released his signature series that covers the SSD market. Today he talks about OCZ, next-generation NAND and more.
It took a while for the enterprise market to embrace SSDs, but they're finally becoming more common. The advantage of the fast storage medium can benefit server workloads. Kingston would like the new E50 SSDs to be an affordable replacement for 10k or 14k rpm conventional hard disks. They're intended for read intensive workloads, which means they're not optimised for high endurance workloads in which SSDs are under continuous workloads. The new E50 SSD is significantly more affordable than other enterprise SSDs such as the Intel DC S3700 series.
Toshiba is a world leader in many different technologies and applications. In the NAND market, for instance, they supply components for some of our favorite SSDs. But, they haven’t really been known as a major player in turn-key storage products. While they have an impressive offering of mechanical drives, especially for automotive and industrial uses, they are dwarfed by the duopoly that is Western Digital and Seagate. For SSDs, they are a major OEM supplier, but don’t have a major presence in the consumer market. Toshiba is a member of a select group that produces their own NAND. This puts them in the enviable position where they get to pay cost for the most expensive and important SSD component. They have the technology and manufacturing capabilities to put them on par with the Samsungs of the world in the SSD market, but that hasn’t seemed to be a priority for them.
Vorgestellt wurde die Samsung 840 EVO schon auf der Global Summit im Juli 2013, dass wir sie erst jetzt testen hat mehrere Gründe. Einerseits prüfen wir grundsätzlich keine Vorab Samples mehr und andererseits wollten wir nach Möglichkeit das erste inzwischen erhältliche Firmware Update noch abwarten, so dass einem interessantem Praxis Test nichts mehr im Wege stand. Erwähnenswert ist in diesem Zusammenhang sicherlich auch die Frage, warum Samsung seine 840er Hierarchie erweitert, zumal sie durch die 840 Basic und die 840 Pro eigentlich recht klar definiert wurde.
Die Samsungs 840 SSD Serie stellt die bisher erfolgreichste Modellreihe des südkoreanischen Konzerns dar. Auf dem SSD Global Summit 2013 präsentierte man stolz die Zahl von 2,524 Millionen SSD, welche aus dieser Serie bereits verkauft wurden. Seit ihrer Einführung im September/Oktober 2012 soll diese Reihe somit 20 Prozent der weltweiten SSD-Verkäufe ausgemacht haben, eine erstaunlich hohe Zahl. Samsung hat für die 840 EVO natürlich auch einige Marketing Trommeln betätigt, sei es nun die TurboWrite-Technologie, Advanced Signal Processing, der Dynamic Thermal Guard-Algorithmus oder die RAPID-Cache-Funktion über die Samsung Magician Software, dem Kunden wird eine Menge an Vorteilen versprochen. Da stellt sich natürlich die Frage: wie verhalten sich diese Features in der realen Praxis und wovon profitiert der Nutzer daheim ? denn spektakuläre Benchmark Screenshots sagen in der Regel sehr wenig über die Praxistauglichkeit eins Laufwerkes aus. Diese und weitere Fragen werden in unserem neuesten SSD Review beantwortet, dazu wünschen wir euch jetzt schon viel Vergnügen....
