Corsair officially launched the companies first generation USB 3.0 Flash drives on May 19th, 2011 and more recently on September 9th, 2011 they announced the launch of their second generation USB 3.0 Flash drives. Legit Reviews got our hands on one of these new '2nd generation' Flash Voyager 3.0 16GB drives and just had to run some performance tests on it to see how these new drives perform!
Today, we are going to provide you with a bit of an exclusive look at a more ‘consumer directed’ variation of a new driver-less PCIe SSD, the recently announced Mach Extreme MX-Express driver-less PCIe 2.0 x2 SSD. The MX-Express is a LSI SandForce driven PCIe SSD, available in 128, 256, 512 and 1TB capacities and has listed speeds of 800MB/s for both read and write data transfer, with up to 100,000IOPS. Warranty for the MX-Express is 2 years and availability is much more prevalent in Europe than North America, although we did find availability with My Digital Discount in the USA.
Seagate's Momentus XT is a 2.5" notebook drive of a half-Terabyte in capacity that stands out from the crowd because it contains 4GB of SLC NAND flash. The NAND flash is used as sort of a 'fast access repository' to store commonly used data, though at 4GB, the SSD portion of this hybrid drive accounts for only 0.8% of its total storage capacity. The two platter, 7200RPM Seagate Momentus XT posts an average read latency of 11.0ms, write 13.0ms. Seagate's 3Gb/s SATA II ST95005620AS drive retails for round $156 USD / £90 GBP and requires no special drivers or software.
With the rapid progress of technology from one day to the next, concepts, ideas, inventions, and reinventions suddenly turn from wishful thinking into reality. In the case of solid-state drives the burning question was whether we would see a viable external solution. Conventional hard-drives already go their external variant primarily thanks to USB 2.0; with the raw speed and performance of SSDs however, the lagging catalyst was the upgraded USB 3.0 interface standard. Of course a slue of other components were needed as well – cooling, enclosure size, controllers, design, chipsets just to name a few.
Only recently after advancements in each area did this mix come together to form a practical external SSD concoction in the Angelbird mobile SSD line. Today we take a look at two different models – the $780 Angelbird SSD2go 480GB and the $900 dual Angelbird SSSD2go TWIN 480GB (240GB x 2). We will see if the Angelbird drives are worth their premium prices, and if they can indeed perform at SATA 3.0 speeds using USB 3.0.
Plextor legt die M.2-SSD M6e neu auf: In Schwarz gehüllt und fest auf einem PCIe-Adapter verbaut, versteckt sich die SSD hinter einem Kühlkörper.
During the last 3 years we've witnessed the introduction of quite a few new companies focused in the design and manufacture of NAS (network attached storage) devices, mostly entry level ones aimed at home users but in some cases mid-end ones for small business users and even high-end ones for large enterprises. Competition is always a good thing in the market since through that prices tend to take hit all the time while in the process build quality tends to improve. Still when you are about to spend your hard earned money (whether we are talking about home, small business and even enterprise users) to purchase something you simply want the best and at least to date QNAP has proven time and again not only that they are by far the most reliable NAS manufacturer in the market currently but also that their solutions can outperform with relative ease their counterparts. So today with us we have their latest 4-Bay TurboNAS TS-469U-RP Rackmount NAS server which due to its size, specifications and design is naturally aimed towards small business IT environments.
Our report today examines the newly released Corsair Force GS 240GB SSD. The Force GS enters the SSD market as Corsair’s entry model Toggle Mode NAND SSD candidate and it is one of the few to use SanDisk’s Toggle Mode NAND flash memory. By relying on Toggle Mode memory, Corsair is willing to bet that the Force GS Series will be able to provide both fast read and write high sequential performance as well as dynamite random write speed for an even better user experience.
SanDisk release their latest 6Gb/s with new 24nm Toggle Flash memory, but can it keep up with other SandForce based SSDs?
L'USB 3.0 est une norme en devenir, qui tend à se démocratiser de plus en plus. Les boitiers externes et disques durs externes à cette norme sont de plus en plus présents sur le marché, tout comme les clés USB. MX-Technology est d'ailleurs de la partie, avec un nouveau modèle qui se veut accessible, la MX-GX. Un produit qui revendique quand même 140 Mo/sec en lecture et ce sans vous ponctionner de plus de 40 € pour un modèle 16 Go.
