When the original Vertex and Agility product lines were introduced, we were told that the Vertex had a specific BOM (Build of Materials) list and the Agility had a dynamic BOM. In the end we found the first Vertex to have one set of flash that never changed, but the Agility shipped with three or more different flash configurations. The Agility was sold at a lower price because it used whatever flash was the lowest priced at the time of manufacture. While all who purchased an Agility were rolling the dice as far as what flash was included, some ended up with a drive that was identical to the higher priced Vertex.

Today we take a look at a relatively new product from the folks over at Corsair and no, for once, it’s not a high-end speedy memory kit, but an interesting take on the old pen drive. If you are in the market for a pen drive, there is probably literally one million to pick from on the market these days. But if you are looking for one a little different or one with some solid data security for people out there that are paranoid about their precious or sensitive data ...

The 1TB Constellation.2 isn’t going to break any speed records with 115MB/s read and write but it brings to the table a unique set of features. Let’s start with the fact that by maintaining platter disks it makes these drives relatively affordable at just over $200 for a whopping 1TB enterprise quality space using SATA 6Gb/s interface. The 6Gb/s interface doesn’t boost the speed up too much but we do see small advantages over SATA 3Gb/s.

Some of you might want some extra storage and others may want to be safe and perform regular backups. The ideal solution for both is an external hard drive of some form which allows you to put in the hard drive with the size and speed you require and upgrade easily over time. This is especially true with the now quite common USB 3.0 interface which offers great speeds making backup's much quicker and more appealing to those of us who have lots of files.

It wasn’t so long ago that we broke news of the Intel/SandForce partnership and everyone told us we were nuts. Once again, we are here to publish another SSD first and Intel seems to be front and center once again. Our SSD analysis today will examine the Intel Series 330 SATA 3 SSD, the value priced little brother of the Intel 520, and the similarity between the two is rather odd. In fact, one could almost consider them twins as they contain exactly the same SandForce processor and model of memory.

The KingFast Ultra-Cache solution is composed from a 32GB SATA2 SSD and special software which will boost our storage system performances after the caching procedure has been completed. What is nice about this solution is that we do not have to perform a Windows system reinstallation to make it work.

Der SSD-Markt ist seit längerem ein hart umkämpftes Geschäftsfeld und das bekommen sowohl die Newcomer wie z.B. Mach Xtreme Technology, als auch die etablierten Platzhirsche wie etwa Samsung oder Intel zu spüren. Die Hersteller machen es dem Otto-Normalverbraucher auch nicht gerade leicht wenn es darum geht, sich für ein Modell zu entscheiden. Die einzelnen Zutaten für ihre Halbleiterlaufwerke werden oft fertig eingekauft, verbaut und in einem eigenen Gehäuse auf den Markt gebracht. Wer sich da nicht von der Masse abhebt bleibt früher oder später auf der Strecke.

G.Skill hat mit der Titan und Falcon Serie bereits einige SSD Festplatten unterschiedlicher Größe und Leistung am Markt etabliert. Mit der Falcon II bringt G.Skill nun eine Weiterentwicklung der ersten Generation in den Handel. In wie weit G.Skill mit den Top-Derivaten aus dem Hause OCZ oder Corsair mithalten kann, zeigt folgender Test.

The Plextor M5M 256GB mSATA SSD is an amazing product. It has the Marvell 88SS9187 controller and Toshiba Toggle NAND flash, so it's super fast. As well, this drive has true protect data integrity and AES data encryption. Also, it's very reliable with a MTBF of 2.4 million and comes with a 5 year warranty.

Intel hat mit dem Modell X25-V neuerdings ein Solid State Drive im Programm, welches mit Preisen von weniger als 100 Euro lockt. Als Gegenleistung gibt es einen hohen Datendurchsatz beim Lesen, doch die Schreibrate fällt bescheiden aus und 40 GB Speicherplatz sind mehr als knapp bemessen.
