Corsairs newest Performance Pro SATA 3 SSD is on our bench today and get ready for some great benchmarks! After Crucial’s M4 punch which came as a result of their updated Marvell firmware, it was only a matter of time before another manufacturer came back swinging with the same Marvell controller in tow. To be quite frank, SSD enthusiasts have made it clear that they want an SSD with superior incompressible data performance results and now they have it.
Dass der Marvell 88SS9174 SSD-Controller zu einem der stabilsten SSD-Controller seiner Zunft gehört, ist ein offenes Geheimnis, auch wenn natürlich viel von der jeweiligen Firmware abhängt. Darüber hinaus gehört er in Verbindung mit den richtigen Zutaten sprich Flashchips, ARM Prozessoren auch zu schnellsten. Insofern ist es keine Überraschung, das mittlerweile von fast jedem namenhaften Retail-Lieferanten eine entsprechende SSD mit dieser Basis existiert.
Da mittlerweile auch Corsair und Plextor auf dieses Pferd setzen, haben wir uns kurzfristig dazu entschlossen, die Performance Pro von Corsair und die M3 von Plextor durch unseren Testparcour zu schicken, um möglicherweise weitere Empfehlungen aussprechen zu können. Bevor Mißverständnisse aufkommen, in Europa existiert nur die M3 von Plextor, die M3S ist für den amerikanischen Markt vorbehalten und es ist derzeit fraglich, ob sie noch den Weg über den großen Teich nach Europa finden wird. Aber das soll uns nicht weiter tangieren, beide SSDs kommen mit Toshiba Toogle-NAND Flashbausteinen, wobei Plextor schon auf die 24nm Fertigung setzt und Corsair noch die 32nm Fertigung bevorzugt. Da dies neben dem unterschiedlichen Buffer (Corsair 256MB, Plextor 128MB, bezogen auf die 128GB SSDs) schon den einzige Unterschied neben einer selbstverständlich differierenden Firmware darstellt, waren wir sehr gespannt, ob sich im Test überhaupt gravierende Unterschiede aufzeigen lassen. Die Plextor M3 SSD stammt übrigens von einem Online Händler unserer Wahl, ihr wißt ja, das wir gerne mal stichprobenhaft die realen Angebote der Hersteller prüfen. Aber genug der Präambel, jetzt wünschen wir euch viel Spaß mit unserem neuesten SSD-Doppel Review...
Being a larger capacity size we compared the drive to the 240GB drives from Team SandForce products and again the Performance Pro performed well. The one area the 256GB Performance Pro didn't do so well in, well, let me first say in relation to the SF-2281 controlled drives, is when the drive was filled to 50% capacity. In this very important test the Performance Pro 256GB was a bit slower. So, to sum it up the 256GB Performance Pro was very fast, but not fast enough to take the performance crown in its capacity size group.
One of the most unique SSDs to come to market in 2011 was the Corsair Performance 3 Series. The Performance 3 used a modified version of the Marvell SATA III controller to deliver high-speed SATA III speeds, but with a twist. The drive couldn't be slowed down due to a very aggressive garbage collection algorithm. This held true throughout the drive even when the drive was nearly full of data. The down side was the drive wasn't as fast at peak performance when compared to other Marvell based SSDs like the Crucial m4 and Intel 510 Series, but for users who ran their drives with 50% or more capacity the Performance 3 proved to be faster than all competing Marvell products on the market.
Corsair now has a follow up product in the Performance family, the Performance Series Pro. We've had this drive in house for quite a while now to try and determine exactly what it is. The early marketing on this product gave us the impression that it was a faster Performance 3, but our testing proved that wasn't exactly accurate since the Performance Pro does slow down as data is added, just like the m4 and 510 Series Marvell drives.
Corsair has only just released its first multifunction software utility for Corsair branded SSDs. The new tool is simply called 'Corsair SSD Toolbox', but for many Corsair SSD users, it's exactly what they've been waiting for."
Der Flash Survivor von Corsair macht seinem Namen in vielerlei Hinsicht alle Ehre. Seit seiner Einführung im Jahre 2007 an der Seite des nicht ganz so massiv verpackten Flash Voyager hat er bis heute überlebt. Wenngleich die Technik im Inneren das ein oder andere Update verzeichnete, so blieb die Hülle aus Aluminium stets vorhanden. Ob zum Tauchen oder als Flaschenöffner, der Stick hat seine Fangemeinde gefunden. Wir haben uns das Topmodell der aktuellen Reihe, den Flash Voyager GTR mit 32GB Speicherplatz, angesehen.
Almost everyone today has a Flash drive sitting on their computer desk, after all they are invaluable for moving data between work and home or to pass files between friends. Another important use for USB drives is to back up sensitive and important data, which leads me nicely into the product we have for review today – The Corsair Flash Survivor GTR 32GB USB Flash Drive.
With fifteen buttons, a 5700 DPI laser sensor, a solid aluminum core, and onboard memory the Corsair Vengeance M90 can be customized to fit almost every users need. However, button counts, high DPI sensors, and unique designs do not automatically guarantee a great product and so each product must be evaluated on its usefulness as a tool and not just raw numbers. So please join Benchmark Reviews as we review the Corsair M90 and evaluate if it is worthy of the legendary Corsair name or if it is simply marketing hype with no substance to back it up.
Over the last few months, the number of wireless storage products and options has been growing and each of them has their own individual selling points; Patriots Gauntlet Node for example allows the user to install a drive of their own choosing based on their capacity needs, whilst ADATA's DashDrive Air provides storage by connecting a USB hard drive or SD card whilst internally it houses a battery pack to charge a device through the USB port. There are also options from Kingston and Seagate as well, but overall there is one option that every other product of this nature on the market lacks and this is LAN.
