USB 3.0 is capable of transferring data faster than the SATA II interface, so for the most part we expect to see performance that is on par with SSDs running similar controllers. So far we have not had luck with this assumption, but NEC has a new driver for their USB 3.0 controller and I am told it fixes the SSD shuddering issue with USB 3.0; we shall find out today.

Solid State Drive technology is unfamiliar to many consumers, and so long as there are different ways an SSD can operate there always be questions that need answering. Benchmark Reviews offers various SSD tests, but proving performance speeds and matching manufacturer claims is only part of the story. Each SSD processor has unique behaviors, with some working well with TRIM and offering improved performance in AHCI mode, while others include Garbage Collection (GC) and work best in IDE mode. In this article Benchmark Reviews demonstrates how SSDs are tested by the manufacturer, and illustrates how real-world performance is different for end-users.

OnTop Technologies has attempted to combine a wearable, jewelry-like USB Flash drive with ample capacity and speedy data transfer rates with their Turbojet Whisper flash drive. The question is, have they succeeded? We take a look at the 4GB TurboJet Whisper and see how it performs and looks when you wear it.

Mit den beiden Modellen Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST31500341AS und Western Digital Caviar Green WD15EARS haben wir uns zwei dieser 1,5-TB-Festplatten an Land gezogen, die unterschiedlicher kaum sein könnten. Insbesondere die Western Digital Caviar Green WD15EARS bedarf eines genaueren Blicks, denn hier kommt mit der Advanced Format-Technologie eine Neuerung zum Einsatz, die in Zukunft viele Festplatten betreffen wird.

Der schnelle Draht ins Internet und die digitale Heimelektronik sorgen für eine schier unendliche Datenflut, welche nach immer mehr Speicherplatz schreit. Externe Festplatten bieten sich hier als praktische Datensammler an, sei es als dauerhafte Erweiterung des internen Speicherplatzes oder als Medium zur Datensicherung.

After taking Vantec's NexStar 3 USB 3.0 external HDD enclosure for a test run, I'm left completely sold. There's no way I'd want to go back to using a USB 2.0 enclosure for file storage if I can avoid it. The increase in speed is incredible, and the best part is that there's no learning curve – if you know how to use any USB device (and who doesn't these days), you already know how to use USB 3.0.

We compared the performance of seven different solid state drives (SSDs) on the 128 GB range based on MLC technology from Corsair, Crucial, Kingston, Intel, Mushkin, Patriot and Western Digital.

Today I will be reviewing an external HDD enclosure from Icy Box called “IB-318STU3-B” (wonderful name). It has a USB 3.0 interface which should boost the data transfer speeds significantly, at least according to the specs. Only months ago, the third revision of the USB standard appeared. I’ve seen it called both “USB 3.0” and “USB SuperSpeed”.

Mit der neuen V-Serie will Intel dem Endkunden eine preisgünstige SSD anbieten, welche den Einstieg in den Solid-State-Markt auch für diejenigen mit kleinerem Geldbeutel ermöglichen soll. Ob die neue X25-V SSD aus dem Hause Intel auch in Sachen Leistung überzeugen kann, ist in nachfolgendem Test zu erfahren.

Seagate has decided to try their hand at digital media distribution through a partnership with Paramount Pictures. Including a hit movie like 2009's Star Trek with the purchase of a 500GB FreeAgent Go drive is pretty cool, and being able to expand your digital collection with even more movies through Seagate may appeal to some.
