There have been a number of incarnations of the Force Series drives from Corsair with the first having the SandForce 1200 series controller. Hence the name. Most have been performance focused and were the Corsair flagship drives for a time, a title currently held by their Neutron GTX line. The new Force LS series is intended more as a budget friendly drive and changes things up with a Phison controller running the show that's supported by Toshiba 19nm NAND. This isn't a configuration we've tested before so it'll be interesting to see how it fares.
Avec son nouveau SSD 840 EVO, Samsung nous promet une belle évolution du 840, qui était un bon SSD. Cette nouvelle version fait appel à des puces toujours en TLC, mais en 19 nm et qui profite de la fonction Turbo Write qui permet à ce EVO de doubler son débit maximum en écriture. Avec ses plus de 500 Mo/sec en lecture comme en écriture, ce nouveau venu est-il le SSD ?
The Synology DiskStation DS1513+ uses robust DSM (DiskStation Manager) to run the NAS. This software allows the user to run their own email server, use AES 256 bit encryption for shared folders, run a VPN server as well as roll out their own “Dropbox” like Cloud server. The recent release of DSM 4.3 makes this Synology NAS – state of the art. The latest DSM release offers a revamped Mail Server, updated Synology High Availability, Server Convergence, SSD caching, TRIM support, Windows ODX support, updated PhotoStation 6, a 30% faster Cloud Station with delta-updates. In addition Synology has improved their mobile apps with iOS, Android, and Windows Phone updates.
Our attendance at the Samsung Global SSD Summit in South Korea a few months back brought us our first glimpse of a new standard in ultrabook storage performance. At the Summit, the Samsung XP941 M.2 PCIe SSD was displayed reaching 1GB/s transfer speeds and Apple has since released their 2013 MacBook Air which has a customized variation of the XP941; this attaining native performance of 794MB/s. Most recently, Sony released their newest Vaio Pro 13 which also appears to have the XP 941 installed and there is no doubt this ‘trickle effect’ of distribution will become a waterfall soon enough. For the first time, even our request for XP941 review sample was put on hold as Samsung can’t seem to keep up with demand.
Die 840 Evo ist bereits die zweite SSD, die Samsung mit TLC-Speicherchips bestückt. Im Gegensatz zur original 840er hat Samsung bei der Evo auch am Controller gefeilt.
The focus of today's review is a brand new NAS from Thecus. The N2560 uses the latest media ready ATOM processor from Intel as well as running Thecus newest operating system, version 6. With HDMI/audio out and the relevant media apps bundled can perform well enough to be our storage and media centre?
MX-Technology aims for the low-cost, high-performance portable storage market with the LX USB 3.0 flash drive. Let's dive in and see how it performs
We’ve seen our share of hard drive docks and even a few from Vantec, but this time they have something a little different. The NexStar HDD Duplicator also does as its name implies, it can duplicate drives on a sector-by-sector basis. The beautiful part is that it can do it independently, without the need of being connected to a host PC. Therefore, no software is needed and it doesn’t really care what data or OS is on the drive. This makes for a very flexible tool which may appeal more to the techie crowd than the average user since not everyone has the need for drive duplication. Read on to see how it works!
Thecus offers the N2560 as an all-in-one media and storage solution. Let's take a look as we put it through our testing phase to see how it performs.
The SSD market as many people know it is inundated with drives that have one of LSI's SandForce SF-2281 controllers at their heart and whilst this is not a bad thing - given that they have proven reliability and some of the best performance to be had, they are not without their faults.
SSD owners today, use their drives for a multitude of tasks and breaking these tasks down to the way the drives see the data, we have two data types; compressible and incompressible. SandForce based drives typically use lossless data compression to minimise the write cycles to the flash in order to prolong its life span, however not all data sets can be compressed in this way and consequently when these controllers meet this type of data, the write speeds consequently slow down as the data takes more time to process.
SanDisk's Extreme series of drives as we have here today, are now on to their second generation and following the success of the original Extreme that was based around the SF-2281 controller, SanDisk want to take the performance up a notch to give this drive a huge selling point against every other drive out there. To do this, the SandForce controller had to be laid to rest as the way it handles incompressible data was not going to be right for an 'extreme' drive. As a result, Marvell has been brought in with its top end controller and this teamed with SanDisk's own 19nm Toggle NAND MLC flash and a 256MB cache is what is set to give this drive the grunt it needs to push it to the top of the SSD performance charts.
