What does OCZ's 20nm flash IC die shrink bring to the table? Let's put it to the benchmarks.
Buffalo takes external storage to the next level with the DriveStation DDR. It features a great caching system to push USB 3.0 to the maximum.
It's no secret that the most ideal way to carry regular data (and not mission critical ones) is without doubt to own a portable hard drive not only because you can't really find many USB flash drives in the market with capacities exceeding 256GB but also because the ones that are available cost many times over the price of a regular portable hard drive and thus are out of reach for most people. Now as we all know USB flash drives come in various capacities to cover all the possible uses people intend for them but although prices have taken a serious dive for the past years making even 64GB USB flash drives quite affordable size is also a significant factor and for good or bad there aren't that many tiny solutions around at 64GB (even if they were not everyone has use for 64GB). Furthermore there are even less USB 3.0 compatible flash drives in the market that can fit in the "tiny" size category but thanks to Patriot we now have the SuperSonic Mini USB 3.0 Flash Drive line.
With the Agility and Vertex product lines from OCZ in their fourth generations it was exciting to see OCZ change things up and introduce a new model late last year. With a unique design and an Indilinx controller inside it looks like it could really shake things up. I’m excited to see how it will perform, especially compared to the Agility 4 and Vertex 4 that we have recently taken a look at. OCZ gave it the Vector name and in some cases that means “a force or influence”, let’s find out if the OCZ Vector will be a force or influence in the SSD market.
We've seen the large 960GB M500 and the smaller 120GB drives. Today we look at the sweet spot for enthusiasts and power users, the 256GB class model. Sold with 240GB of user capacity, does the mid size model suffer from the same performance issues that plague the 120GB model or does this one take after big brother?
Our SSD analysis today is perhaps the most detailed typical SSD report we have published to date, and so it should be. Actually, the word ‘typical’ doesn’t quite fit as the Samsung 840 EVO SSD, that I am now using as my mainstream system drive, is pushing over 1GB/s sequential speeds and an unbelievable 685MB/s low 4K random write performance. If you think this might be magic, you would be right and this magic is within the reach of every Samsung 840 EVO purchase, performance not even closely matched prior to this release.
When you copy the contents of a hard disk from a PC or laptop to an SSD you have to make sure that the placement of the partitions corresponds to the underlying hardware structure. The same is true for the latest generation of hard disks. Today we'll discuss what this so-called '4k alignment' really means and what you can do in order to prevent a decrease in performance.
The storage markets are growing rapidly at the moment and this is certainly clear from the large number of home and small office users that are jumping onto the NAS bandwagon to increase their storage capacity to satisfy their needs. For some people though the prospect of setting up network devices is still either a daunting process or even more simply, too much hassle. Having a solution that is virtually plug and play is still the main choice of many users and as a result there is a market flooded by USB enclosures for both 2.5″ and 3.5″ drives.
Teratrend is a name that some may look at and turn away as its not recognised, but the sooner its realised that their a sub-brand of SilverStone – the same people of manufacture many great looking chassis and power supplies as well as coolers, the attention is soon brought back with the prospect of a high quality, well build unit.
As storage is not the main focus of SilverStone, the Teratrend brand was brought in to distinguish the new line of products a few years ago and since then we have seen a number of two and four bay options that take the effort out of storage expansion with say to use and simple devices that look good at the same time on any desk.
Buffalo joins the Thunderbolt movement with the MiniStation storage enclosure. It also includes USB 3.0 if that's what you prefer.
Eine Überraschung stellt es sicherlich nicht dar, dass Logitech den derzeitigen Hype um die mechanischen Tastaturen ausnutzt, um ein eigenes Produkt zu lancieren. Überraschend ist nur, das Logitech so viel Zeit dafür benötigte, möglicherweise wollten die Schweizer aber auch abwarten, welche Stolpersteine die Konkurrenz zu umschiffen hatte, um so ähnliche Fehler zu vermeiden. Sei es wie es ist, die Logitech G710+ steht seit Anfang des Jahres bei den Händlern im Regal und wir haben das "Sommerloch" und den Stapellauf unseres neuen Haswell Systems genutzt, um so eine Tastatur bei einem Händler unserer Wahl zu kaufen und durch den gefürchteten Redaktionsalltag zu hetzen.
Logitech setzt bei der G710+ auf die bewährten Cherry MX-Brown Taster, womit eines schon im Vorwege klar skizziert ist, nicht nur der Gaming Sektor soll mit dieser Tastatur abgedeckt werden, auch die Office Vielschreiber sollen ein adäquates Gerät erhalten, wofür auch die Dämpfung der jeweiligen Taster mit Hilfe von speziellen O-Ringen spricht, die eine Reduzierung des lauten mechanischen Klackerns bewirken soll. Darüber hinaus wirbt die Tastatur mit einer ausgereiften Software, vielen zusätzlichen Funktionstasten und einstellbaren Makros, so dass zumindest theoretisch eine enorme Einsatz Bandbreite zur Verfügung steht.
Schauen wir uns jetzt gemeinsam an, ob auch diese Tastatur der Rubber Dome Konkurrenz in unserem 4-wöchigen Praxistest abermals die Grenzen aufzeigen konnte, dazu wünschen wir euch wieder viel Vergnügen....
