If you haven't heard of G-Technology just yet, you are not alone. The company started out as its own entity, but was later scooped up by Hitachi Global Storage Technology (GST). Now G-Tech serves at Hitachi's MAC storage department making products designed for use with MAC computers with an emphasis put on style as well as performance. Just very recently we looked at the G-DRIVE Mobile, a dual interface drive that uses USB 2.0 and FireWire 800.
G.Skill has certainly impressed me with their latest offering. I've finished the benchmarking a few weeks ago and switched my laptop from the G.Skill FM-25S2S-64GB to the Falcon and have noticed and incredible boost in performance. Videos no longer stutter and there's no lag between MSN conversations, the JMicron controller made it feel like I was back in the 56k days! Since many of us can't afford an Intel X25-M SLC SSD, the G.Skill Falcon is a great alternative with significantly improved sequential and random performance over their original design.
Auch G.Skill bietet in seiner neuen Falcon SSD Serie 64 MB Cache Speicher an. Wir haben die 128 GB Version - derzeit die günstigste
SSD mit Cache - getestet.
If I can describe the G.Skill Falcon II in one word, I would have to go with "fast" because this drive performs extremely well, especially when compared to the 5400RPM drive I am used to. With read and write speeds upwards of 150 MB/s, everything just feels so much snappier. Programs seem to open almost instantly, file transfers take less time, and my old Dell XPS m1330 laptop has become very snappy and feels like new again. So what's the catch? There is only one and that is the price that you will have to pay for this level of performance: over $2 per gigabyte of storage as compared to a few cents per gigabyte for conventional magnetic hard drives.
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.
G.Skill will mit der Falcon 2 eine leistungsfähige SSD zum moderaten Preis anbieten. Vom Preis her ist sie derzeit das günstigste Modell mit Cache, aber wie sieht die Performance aus?
When the G.Skill Phoenix 100GB drive arrived I was a bit surprised by the timing since the Falcon and Falcon II were some of the first Indilinx and Indilinx ECO drives we tested and found for sale. As always, I wanted to take a look at the new drive, but in the back of my mind I was thinking that the Phoenix would be just another run of the mill, Team SandForce product. To back that up I took a look at G.Skill's product page and sure enough, nothing special was listed and the specs sheet gave us the same impression.
Everyone who are used to using fast computers will know this feeling. You sit down at a system that is not yours. You hit the power button. Five minutes later, the CPU is still at 100%, low memory warnings pop up, and just when you seem life cannot get any worse, seek noise from the hard drive continues rhythmic pattern with no end in sight. At this point, you start to go nuts. First, you scream like a little girl. Then you bang your head on the table repeatedly, and scratch it in such frantic manner until your hair starts to resemble Gary Spivey's. Like the prophets of Baal at Mount Carmel in the Bible, regardless of what you do, your acts of desperation goes unheard. But wouldn't you rather be Elijah instead? Sure, no fire will come down from heaven anytime soon (At least I sure hope not), but G.SKILL has something that will sure breathe some fire into your system -- and at the same time, it does not command a price like money is going to fall from the sky tomorrow. The Phoenix EVO 115GB SSD is the company's latest product in the highly competitive flash storage market for computer enthusiasts. Using the renowned SandForce SF-1222 controller with new 25nm MLC ICs, you are going to take a small performance hit along with less available storage capacity due to higher provisioning compared to SSDs using 34nm chips -- but what you do have to gain is a lower price of entry for a better cost-per-gigabyte ratio. So are you ready to eliminate your bottleneck, assuming you have a decent processor and adequate amounts of RAM? Let's crack it open to take a look at what's under the hood, and put it through out series of standard benchmarks.
Die Phoenix EVO von G.Skill verfügt über einen SandForce Controller der ersten Generation. Ob sie damit wirklich schon zum alten Eisen gehört? Oder reicht die Performance trotzdem noch aus um einen Geschwindigkeitsvorteil gegenüber herkömmlichen Festplatten zu registrieren? Wir haben die SSD auf Herz und Nieren geprüft. Das Ergebnis hat uns positiv überrascht, und in Kombination mit den geringen Preis ist die EVO alles andere als ausgemustert.
Mit der Phoenix Pro stellt G.Skill seine neuste SSD mit SandForce Controller und erweiterter Kapazität vor. Als Bonus bietet die Phoenix PRO volle 50K IOPS 4K Random Write Performance.
