Since current technology focuses a lot in shrinking everything it comes as little surprise to see that most storage media manufacturers nowadays choose to favor the developing of 1.8" and 2.5" media over the far more popular and widely distributed 3.5" ones. This certainly explains the why although 3 years ago the 2.5" HDD with the highest capacity was 750GB (highest capacity 3.5" has 3TB) just 1 year ago we breached the 2TB barrier (highest capacity 3.5" was and still is 4TB) and just a few months ago we also witnessed the appearance of 2TB 2.5" SSDs so it's really only a matter of time before we see 2.5/3TB 2.5" HDDs/SSDs in the market. That being said most people i know still use 500GB 2.5" drives both in their laptops and for their portable needs but since many of them are starting to experience the limitations of just having 500GB we decided to focus a bit on some of the latest 2.5" hard disk drives to hit the market and we will start by testing the latest Travelstar 7K1000 1TB 2.5" SATA III model by HGST.
Following on from my recent review of Synology’s DS213j 2-bay system, I’ve been invited to take a look at a system that is more geared for the SOHO (small office home office_ market. This is the DS414 and for those who understand the naming system that Synology have adopted, it is possible to recognise that this is the newer version of the DS413.
Up to this point, there has not been much information to be found in the open about this system, but to give a quick run down in comparison to the DS413 the identical looking DS414 offers up a better CPU, better RAID controller and at a price that is more competitive. There have been rumours circulating that this system will be home to a CPU capable of transcoding media on the fly, but I can confirm this is not the case. Thankfully there is a separate system that is launching very soon which does have this capability and a review for this will appear in due course.
Kingston has recently introduced the HyperX 3K SSD and one of the options with it is the ability to purchase an upgrade kit that includes everything you need to get the drive installed in your system. I mean everything here, software for data transfer, actual tools, a 3.5” to 2.5” adapter and even a 2.5” USB external enclosure. This kit has everything you need to upgrade from a mechanical hard drive to a much faster SSD. So read on to see what’s all in the kit and see of the HyperX 3K SSD does against other drives….
Today we are going to look at a very impressively designed drive caddy which can convert both 2.5 inch mechanical and solid state drives into RAID arrays. It is also built to withstand serious abuse and to fit inside a standard 3.5 inch drive bay. If you have several older drives gathering dust then this might just be the performance boost you need for a new system build.
Seagate's release of the Enterprise Turbo SSHD provides a seamless marriage of flash and platter-based technology. Let's take a close look now.
Seagate just released what is probably the largest external hard drive on the market today, a 3TB desktop drive called the FreeAgent GoFlex Desk. Like other GoFlex products it’s, for lack of a better word, flexible. The GoFlex comes with USB 2.0 connection but your can purchase USB 3.0 or FireWire if you prefer. It works on PC or Mac and comes with several programs from Memeo for Backup, Syncing, Sharing and transferring large files. So read on to learn more..
OCZ was the first to introduce a PCIe SSD solution to the consumer with their original RevoDrive PCIe SSD way back in 2010, this updated by the RevoDrive X2 PCIe SSD the following June and the RevoDrive 3x2 a few months later. There was no question that OCZ had struck gold with the RevoDrive 3x2 PCIe SSD as it was capable of performance of 1.5GB/s read and 1.25GB/s write with up to 200,000K IOPS. At a consumer price, the RevoDrive 3x2 PCIe SSD eliminated the SATA bottleneck, while providing RAID performance without the hassle, introduced OCZ Virtualized Controller Architecture (VCA) 2.0 technology, and provided workstation design and performance at an affordable price.
We have reviewed many NAS systems over the last two years and today we are looking at our first product from Asustor, a subsidiary group of electronics giant ASUS. The 602T is a dual drive system with full cross platform support.
Après le V300, c'est donc l'Hyper X en version 3K qui nous intéresse ce jour. Ce SSD exploite encore une fois un contrôleur SF-2281 et des puces MLC de 25 nm de type Synchrone. De quoi assurer 550 Mo/sec en lecture et 510 Mo/sec en écriture. Bref, un beau programme en perspective.
After our recent review of the 120GB Mercury Extreme Pro 6G, I think you are familiar with Other World Computing. The OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 6G didn't put the company on the map, but it did verify that OWC belongs in the same legend as OCZ, G.Skill, Patriot and the rest of the Team SandForce landmarks.
