With the much warned and anticipated "digital switchover" being rolled out soon the world over, people are looking to pickup digital TV boxes; if they didn't have one already. While there are subscription packages available, one other option is a freeview box allowing for a wider selection of digital channels, with no monthly charge.

Datensicherheit und eine gute Verschlüsselung sind für einige User von hoher Bedeutung. Warum sollte auch jemand einen Blick auf die sensiblen Daten werfen können. Genau für diese User hat Digittrade eine HDD mit integrierter 128 Bit AES Verschlüsselung im Programm. Mit einer Kapazität von 160 GB und einer im Gehäuse integrierten Hardwareseitigen Verschlüsselung braucht der User nicht auf Software zur Datensicherheit setzen. Mobilität, Sicherheit und Usability spielt bei dieser Festplatte eine große Rolle. Im Inneren des externen Gehäuses wird eine herkömmliche 2,5" Festplatte verwendet, so das der User noch die Möglichkeit besitzt diese gegebenenfalls gegen eine größere auszutauschen. Wie sich die Security HDDRS128 aus dem Hause Digittrade bei uns im Test geschlagen hat, erfahrt Ihr im folgenden Bericht. Viel Spaß beim Lesen......

Dieser neue SSD Test offeriert uns und unseren Lesern gleich zwei Neuerungen, einerseits die erste Retail SSD mit einem Controller von LAMD (Link A Media) und andererseits den Einstieg in die SSD Kategorie ab 240 GB aufwärts, denn wir werden ab sofort keine SSDs mehr mit kleineren Kapazitäten testen. Der Preisverfall macht diese Entscheidung relativ leicht, zumal dadurch bedingt auch immer mehr Konsumenten zu diesen größeren Varianten tendieren, die in der Regel auch etwas schneller arbeiten als ihre 120 GB oder 64 GB Pendants.

The idea behind the Crucial Adrenaline and Nvelo's Dataplex software is that we drop in the SSD and use it as a high speed cache which allows our system to perform faster while using an existing mechanical drive for storage. Today we take a look at this solution to find out if it is the ideal solution for those who might not have the budget for a high end/capacity SSD.

The Samsung 256GB 840 pro SSD is one of the newest storage devices in the Samsung lineup. With this revision Samsung has included their triple-core MDX controller into the 840 line. The three cores allow the 840 and 840 pro drives to execute multiple instructions at a time improving performance under heavy use. Using a SATA 3.0 6GB/sec interface the Samsung 840 Pro is rated for 540MB/sec sequential read, 450MB/sec sequential write speeds, 100,000 IOPS in random read, and 90,000 IOPS in random write speed. All while using a minimal amount of power at an average of only .068 watts during active use and .042 watts in idle power. Samsung also includes their Samsung Smart Data Migration Software in the package to assist in the transition and Samsung Magician 4.x to assist with monitoring and maintaining the health of the drive, along with a 5 year warranty.

Being known for sending products back with a note explaining why a product is junk, I will never recommend it to anyone. But obviously something has changed in my line of thinking or else you wouldn’t even be reading this review to begin with. To start things off, Corsair’s new F40 is not a reduced channel POS that should have never seen the light of day. This is a real SSD with all of the channels sending and receiving data just like the big boys that I normally cover. That means that most of the performance is there...not all of the performance since smaller flash is a bit slower, but enough is retained to make the F40 worthy of your time.

With Team SandForce on top, the only question remaining is which manufacturer and drive should we choose to purchase. There are a few variables here and most are personal choices. You might be looking for all out speed, the fastest drive on the market or maybe warranty length weighs more in your purchasing decision. Some consumers may just simply be loyal to a company's products due to past experiences with customer service, warranty issues or forum activity.

Disaster recovery is for the unprepared and it's very expensive. Disaster prevention on the other hand shows that you're responsible and costs much less.

Derzeit ist es etwas ruhig geworden um den vielfach verwendeten Controller namens SandForce aus dem Hause LSI. Dies scheint jedoch kein Grund für Kingston zu sein die eigenen Produkte weiter zu verbessern und dem SandForce SF-2281 weitere Reserven zu entlocken. Die Nachricht ist eindeutig: noch mehr Leistung für weniger Geld. So lautet die Offensive beim aktuellen Modell Kingston HyperX 3K. Was die geheimnisvolle Bezeichnung 3K im Namen bedeutet und wie sich die SSD im Vergleich zu den Mitstreitern schlägt, verrät wie immer der nachfolgende Bericht.

OCZ's latest series of performance SSDs, the Vertex 2 and Agility 2, both make use of the SandForce 1200 controller, and have proven themselves to be very fast performers in our reviews. Despite more and more mainstream users adopting SSDs for their desktop systems, the majority of drives continue to be manufactured in the 2.5" notebook format. When it comes to flash memory drives, space is less of an issue and the 2.5" size is more versatile. As OCZ points out however, a 3.5" drive has a lower cost per gigabyte and is more easily integrated into desktop and server applications without the need for adapters. They now offer both their Vertex 2 and Agility 2 drives in a 3.5" format, and it is the former that we will be reviewing today.
