Being first at something doesn’t always make you the best. Western Digital released the world’s first 2TB hard drive. Sporting an eco friendly design, this drive is a new milestone in the storage world. So does Western Digital have what it takes to raise the storage bar and set a new precedent or will they fall flat on their face? TechwareLabs checks it out.
USB drives, we all have them. They are pretty much a must have item for any computer user as each can be used to transport files quickly and easily from location to location or from machine to machine. They can even be used as a backup device which can be put away in a drawer for safekeeping without taking up the space of a traditional hard drive or pile of DVDs.
Each offers its own pros and cons though so it can be hard to decide which the best purchase is. Today we have three flash drives on our test bench, all of which target a different part of the market. Do any of them suit your needs? Read on to find out.
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.
Today TechwareLabs takes a look at the ever popular DS209+ NAS by Synology. With the capability of supporting 2TB Drives, popular gaming systems, and the ability to act as a Surveillance Station, it is hard to go wrong with DS209+. Join Matt Homan as we take the dive in and see what this NAS can do.
Indilinx has been tapped to add their 'Barefoot' controller into the design, and a new generation of Solid State Drives has delivered top-level speed and performance. The Patriot (Fusion) Torqx 128GB MLC SSD is one such product, built from a proven architecture that has done well for others of the same controller family. The Patriot Torqx Solid State Drive adds 64MB of Elpida DRAM to the buffer has permanently solved stuttering problems, making raw performance the last bottleneck. An Indilinx 'Barefoot' internal controller commands the bank of Samsung K9HCG08U1M DRAM modules, allowing the Torqx SSD to offer an impressive capacity with top-speed performance. Benchmark Reviews tests the reaction time and bandwidth performance for the PE000143-PFZ128GS25SSDR 128GB model against over two dozen other products in this article.
The DS-209 is right up there with the best home/SMB NAS units currently on the market. Not only does it provide a fast and reliable storage solution for your network, but it also works as a small server that offers everything from web hosting to file sharing to video surveillance and beyond.
With increasing the use of large multimedia storage especially for high resolution photography, HD video, mobile applications & storage, the demand for higher storage capacity has increased rapidly. Hence today we will take a look on the latest highest capacity SD card from Kingston which is a 32GB SDHC and it is ideal capacity for today photography or HD video recording.
Samsung makes the DRAM modules found in nearly all popular SSD products today, with Elpida and Qimonda also adding their name to cache buffer parts. JMicron, Indilinx, and Samsung engineer many of the most well-known SSDs on the market, with OEM companies adding their own branding, custom-tuned firmware, and warranty. The OCZ Summit SATA-II MLC SSD is another such OEM product, built from the PB22-J model that Samsung decided not to ODM and sell themselves. Equipped with the Samsung S3C29RBB01 SSD controller and a 128MB cache buffer, OCZ intends to keep their crown as the King of SSD product offerings with the Summit OCZSSD2-1SUM120G.
There are a multitude of aging notebooks and laptops out there, such as my IBM ThinkPad T40, that are incapable of being upgraded to take advantage of the latest SATA hardware. With a 1.5GHz Pentium M processor and 1GB of memory, the old T40 has system specs similar to the more modern netbooks that have become increasingly popular of late. But with a hard drive that's five years old and only 60GB in size, the T40 gets quickly left behind in the performance department, as it chugs along with slow read/write speeds and high access times. Can installing a current, leading-edge SSD sporting the old PATA interface breathe new life into this 5-year-old paperweight? Join me as I aim to find out!
Bei der Western Digital Caviar Green WD10EACS handelt es sich um eine beliebte und preiswerte Festplatte mit einem Terabyte Speicherplatz, doch leider gibt es ein Problem, welches der Hersteller selbst verschuldet hat: Seit Monaten sind zwei Versionen der Festplatte in Umlauf, die sich beide einen identischen Produktnamen teilen, technisch jedoch gravierende Unterschiede aufweisen.
Und dann gibt es noch die Western Digital Caviar Green WD10EADS mit einem "D", welche doppelt soviel Cache besitzt. Wie groß sind die Leistungsunterschiede? Wie kann man die einzelnen Modelle unterscheiden? Und welche Festplatte bietet den besten Gegenwert? Wir haben alle drei Varianten getestet und bringen Licht ins Chaos.
