"I'm going to start this article off with a preface. At this time I do not have an unreleased motherboard with an Intel chipset in my possession. I am unfortunately under NDA with a motherboard manufacturer about their specific product that is, at the time of writing, not in my possession. I have not received any information about this product from any official or unofficial source other than the fact that something is coming in the mail and I can't talk about it until sometime in the future. Hopefully this is enough to keep the legal hounds off my behind.

With traditional hard drives becoming somewhat of a mass storage platform and SSDs taking over as the dominant boot drive, there are quite a few companies diving head first into this market to cash in on the phenomenon. However today we arn't looking at a Solid State Disk from the usual people, this one is from a new kid on the block.

At this point we've seen all of the larger, 256GB based SSDs and it's now time to start looking at the 128GB range. The 120GB - 128GB capacity size is important for manufacturers and consumers since this is the size that most of you are looking to purchase. The 128GB drives are very affordable this year, quite a bit less than the 2010 crop of drives and offer an amazing amount of performance.

Vorgestellt wurde die Samsung 840 EVO schon auf der Global Summit im Juli 2013, dass wir sie erst jetzt testen hat mehrere Gründe. Einerseits prüfen wir grundsätzlich keine Vorab Samples mehr und andererseits wollten wir nach Möglichkeit das erste inzwischen erhältliche Firmware Update noch abwarten, so dass einem interessantem Praxis Test nichts mehr im Wege stand. Erwähnenswert ist in diesem Zusammenhang sicherlich auch die Frage, warum Samsung seine 840er Hierarchie erweitert, zumal sie durch die 840 Basic und die 840 Pro eigentlich recht klar definiert wurde.
Die Samsungs 840 SSD Serie stellt die bisher erfolgreichste Modellreihe des südkoreanischen Konzerns dar. Auf dem SSD Global Summit 2013 präsentierte man stolz die Zahl von 2,524 Millionen SSD, welche aus dieser Serie bereits verkauft wurden. Seit ihrer Einführung im September/Oktober 2012 soll diese Reihe somit 20 Prozent der weltweiten SSD-Verkäufe ausgemacht haben, eine erstaunlich hohe Zahl. Samsung hat für die 840 EVO natürlich auch einige Marketing Trommeln betätigt, sei es nun die TurboWrite-Technologie, Advanced Signal Processing, der Dynamic Thermal Guard-Algorithmus oder die RAPID-Cache-Funktion über die Samsung Magician Software, dem Kunden wird eine Menge an Vorteilen versprochen. Da stellt sich natürlich die Frage: wie verhalten sich diese Features in der realen Praxis und wovon profitiert der Nutzer daheim ? denn spektakuläre Benchmark Screenshots sagen in der Regel sehr wenig über die Praxistauglichkeit eins Laufwerkes aus. Diese und weitere Fragen werden in unserem neuesten SSD Review beantwortet, dazu wünschen wir euch jetzt schon viel Vergnügen....

Crucial wirft den Turbo an und hat sein Solid State Drive RealSSD C300 128 GB mit einem Controller der dritten SATA-Generation ausgestattet. Damit steigt der maximale Datendurchsatz beim Lesen von 265 auf 355 MB/s und auch beim Schreiben macht das Laufwerk mit immerhin 140 MB/s keine schlechte Figur.

At CES this past January QNAP announced their new Intel Atom powered line of products. The flagship model from this new line is the rackmount TS-859U-RP, the system that we are reviewing today. The dual core Atom processor allows QNAP to run applications quickly, reduce costs and reduce the amount of power required to operate it. QNAP's flagship TS-809U-RP, an Intel Core2Duo powered system is still available, but the beefy additional hardware also comes with some additional cost. The 859U-RP is a happy medium between cost and performance and can even be used in a home or small office environment since it doesn't sound like a jet taking flight when in use.

Intel's SSD 335 Series solid state drive is available in 240GB capacity and features 20nm 64GB IMFT 29F16B08CCMF2 NAND Flash components. Optimized for the SATA 6Gb/s interface, the Intel SSD 335 Series provides sequential reads up to 500 MB/s and 450 writes up to MB/s. Performance for 4 KB random reads reaches 42,000, while writes climb to 52,000 IOPS (94,000 combined). Intel SSD 335 uses a second-generation LSI/SandForce SF-2281VB1-SDC processor with enhanced BCH ECC capability, and supports for ATA-7 Security Erase. In this article, Benchmark Reviews tests the value-priced Intel SSD 335 Solid State Drive (SSDSC2CT240A4) against competing storage solutions to determine the best value for your computer system.

On the test bench today is a speedy little black box called the OCZ Vertex 3. If you haven't spoiled your computer yet with a Solid State Drive (SSD) yet, now's the time -- SSDs have never been more affordable! The Vertex 3 is a great little 240GB SSD and just the right capacity to install Windows 7 along with a bunch of programs onto, without worrying for drive space. Since this SSD is rated for 6Gb/s SATA III, you'll find it quicker than first generation SATA II drives and light years faster than a standard mechanical hard drive when it comes to booting up or launching programs.
