It was just about a month ago that AData announced their upcoming release of a new 6Gbps SSD which would join the masses of 'SandForce Driven' SSDs and, not surprisingly, a sample was in the mail on our return from Computex. Today we will be ripping apart an AData S511 120GB solid state drive and its only proper to welcome AData to our little corner of the internet as this just so happens to be our first AData SSD inclusion.

If you have been following our reviews here at APH Networks for the last little while, you will notice the same pattern every year. If you know exactly what I am talking about, this means it is now time for yet another QNAP network attached storage review. Case in point: Check out the dates on our QNAP TS-409, TS-439 Pro, and TS-559 Pro+ articles (Actually, it is just a coincidence, haha). While it is not necessarily explicitly planned to have one of these sweet network appliances landing at our Calgary, Alberta location near the beginning of the Fall semester every year, it just happened to be this way, so why break this excellent tradition now? With that in mind, sitting on our racks for testing this afternoon is QNAP's latest 5-bay creation for SMB/corporate applications. Okay, I am going to say "SMB/corporate" very loosely; just because it costs over $1000 at press time, and loaded with every feature IT professionals can possibly dream of, does not mean it is not composed with brilliant cloud multimedia capabilities even casual home users will come to love. Before we move into the meat of our review this afternoon, let me clear up a few things right off the bat. Firstly, for those who are new to the NAS market, why would anyone pay over a grand for a system powered by an Atom processor with 1GB of RAM? Simply put, you are not just paying for the hardware. The user friendly software -- and all the features it comes with -- is where its value stands. Secondly, what is the difference between the new QNAP TS-559 Pro II and the last generation TS-559 Pro+? To be honest, it is not a whole lot. Upgrades include SATA 6Gb/s, two USB 3.0 and four USB 2.0 ports rather than five USB 2.0 ports, and user upgradeable memory. So if you already own a TS-559 Pro+, chances are that you do not need to upgrade. But if are buying a new NAS now, what does QNAP's unmatched reliability, brilliant software, and awesome performance bring to the table today? We will have all the juicy details covered in this review.

Kingston is fully embracing SandForce and the most impressive controller at this time is getting the top to bottom treatment.

It seems that the world of technology has stopped with allegations that some SSD companies are pulling the old ‘bait and switch’ routine in their SSDs by switching off components that many had recognized through initial SSD reviews. We have read several reports and forums, most of which simply repeat the original information, and finally have decided to clarify things just a bit from our perspective. Get ready though as many may not like our viewpoint; it goes against the grain somewhat.

Our report today is going to examine the Patriot Pyro SE SATA 3 SSD. The Patriot Pyro SE (Special Edition) is the big brother of the Patriot Pyro SSD that we reviewed a few months back. The difference between the Pyro and the Pyro SE is that the Pyro SE that we are reviewing today utilizes premium synchronous NAND flash memory whereas the Pyro contained more value conscious asynchronous memory modules. At the end of the day, the Pyro SE is the true performer of the family while the Pyro has a lower price.

Believe us when we say that this is one of the most epic reviews we've ever put together. Not because it was the hardest roundup we've ever done, but it's by far the most time consuming one and it doesn't even have anything to do with the benchmarks we ran. We thought it'd be a good idea to do a comparative review of the various USB 3.0 host controllers out there, as by now we've finally reached a stage where there's some competition in the market with at least three major players and a couple of smaller ones. VR-Zone is also proud to have a world exclusive first review of the upcoming Renesas D720201 host controller which is launching later this year as part of this roundup.

Our review today is on the OCZ RevoDrive Hybrid 1TB PCIe SSD and we think you will find this unlike any other similar review. We have spent over 45 hours in disecting, ripping apart, examining, testing and analysing this new Hybrid SSD and we think you will be a bit shocked at what we have found. Tag along and enjoy the ride as we lead you through the last week leading up to our final report of the Revo Hybrid! Tons of Photos!

Avec son SSD 330 Series, Intel nous a proposé un excellent produit, offrant un excellent raport prix/performances. Aujourd'hui, nous testons la plus petite des capacités, à savoir 60 Go. 60 Go en SATA III, qui reste annoncé pour 500 Mo/sec en lecture, mais 400 Mo/sec en écriture contre 450 pour les 120 et 180 Go. Suffisant ?

NGFF stands for ‘Next Generation Form Factor’ and was a working name for the new generation of MPCIe solid state drives, now affectionately known as M.2 SSDs. While many imagined the M.2 to be industry standardization for mSATA and similar small SSDs today seen in ultrabooks, a closer look at MPCIe demonstrates that unbelievable performance will soon be seen in a MPCIe design even smaller than mSATA. Having sat with just about every SSD manufacturer at countless tech events this year alone, I can relate that initial predictions of 500MB/s performance for M.2 drives have now grown to unbelievable speeds of 1800MB/s.

Crucial vient d'annoncer deux nouveaux SSD, les BX100 et MX200, deux modèles exploitant de la mémoire MLC en 16 nm. Ce jour, nous vous proposons de vérifier les performances du modèle BX100 qui exploite un contrôleur Silicon Motion et qui est donné pour 535 Mo/sec en lecture et 450 Mo/sec en écriture.
