A short time ago we reviewed the Silicon Power Velox V20 120GB SSD which just so happened to be one of the few SATA 2 drives that we had seen in 2011; the world has gone SATA 3. To say the least, it was rather unique as it was the first to contain Hynix NAND flash memory that we had reviewed. Silicon Power has since sent us their next level in performance, the Velox V30 SATA 3 ‘SandForce driven’ 240GB SSD, requesting our evaluation and review. How could we resist?

Die OCZ Octane ist das erste Solid State Drive auf Basis des neuen „Everest“-Controllers von Indilinx. Im eigenen Produktportfolio ordnet OCZ die SSDs dem High-Performance-Segment zu, wenn auch unterhalb der Vertex 3 mit SandForce-Controller. Doch was leistet der Nachfolger des einst so populären „Barefoot“-Controllers von Indilinx?

It's no secret that larger capacity SSDs are faster than the smaller capacity drives. The way data travels can be similar to a highway system, the more lanes a highway has the more cars you can push through at the same time. If SSDs only read and wrote on a one lane highway then we would be limited to less than 200MB/s on the highest rated flash available today. By opening up several lanes drives are able to reach very high speeds and do so without the limits of moving parts.

On release, the SF-2281 controlled client drives leaped to the top of performance charts, but for some, reliability and odd BSOD issues plagued these products. In our testing only two drives experienced issues. The first drive made it through standard testing, but ran into problems when deployed in a daily use system. The second drive failed to complete our standard benchmark procedures, having BSOD issues out of the box. Both drives were later fixed with a firmware update, but for a company like Intel, issues like these are unacceptable.

Solid Sate Drives are now becoming cheaper and more accessible to the general consumer and with the boost in sales companies are now able to upgrade the technology making SSD devices faster than ever. The SATA based SSD has been around for quite a few years now and as the technology advances and moves on we are now seeing more PCI-Express SSD cards being developed. One such card that is taking the making by storm is the OCZ RevoDrive3 PCI-E SSD, which is what we have to be reviewed for you today...

Ce jour, un nouveau SSD rejoint la Ferme pour une petite séance de benchs, afin de savoir si ce nouveau venu vaut la peine d'intégrer, ou non, votre PC. C'est le Professionnal de PNY qui sera l'objet de toute notre attention, un SSD 2.5 SATA III annoncé pour 550 Mo/Sec en lecture et 520 Mo/sec en écriture. C'est de suite à la Ferme.

With the release of Intels X79 chipset and new 2011 socket it was only a matter of time before we saw Motherboards aimed at the gamer. X79 brings Quad Channel memory architecture and PCI 3.0 supporting the RAM and Video Cards respectively. Finally we get to take a look at the infamous ASRock Fatal1ty Professional Motherboard with the new X79 Chipset. The new X79 chipset brings PCI3.0 and Quad Channel Ram onto the Intel market. PCI3.0 is aimed squarely at gamers because of its throughput for the latest high end GPUs and this board has 4x of them. Fatal1ty has always been aimed at the power-user and gamer and they have (seemingly) not disappointed at first glance. All of this leaves us excited to get our hands on the board. ASRock has given us this boiled down spec sheet which leave us drooling...

The Renice X3 240GB mSATA SSD will be our second review of a high capacity mSATA SSD and follows of our recent review of the Samsung PM830 256GB mSATA SSD. While the Renice is SATA 2, with the Samsung PM830 being SATA 3, its value cannot be understated as it is only the second mSATA SSD that has reached this capacity to date. The Renice X3 is a 240GB ‘SandForce Driven’ mSATA SSD that is only 1/3 the size of a business card and under 6 grams in weight.
