A few years back when we didn't have 3/4TB drives and we were all struggling to make due with 320/500GB ones there was one thing pretty much every single person i know in the IT industry wanted and that was one or more hot-swap 5.25" storage adapters for 3.5" drives. That way everyone could insert a 3.5" drive, take a backup (or share files with friends), remove it and insert another one in just a few seconds (back then docking stations didn't really exist). Now things have changed and so to most people even a single 4TB drive is way too much, however we are not most people and the same can be said about professionals and enthusiasts around the globe. Unfortunately feature-rich and high quality 5.25" hot-swap storage adapters that can hold over three 3.5" drives are extremely hard to come by in the market today and if you are to sacrifice most if not all of your 5.25" drive bays you want to make the most out of it. iStarUSA designs and manufactures industrial grade products for the most demanding of users and lucky for us they also make some of the best 5.25" drive cages for both SATA II/III and SAS I/II drives like the BPN-DE340SS.

Corsair has only just released its first multifunction software utility for Corsair branded SSDs. The new tool is simply called 'Corsair SSD Toolbox', but for many Corsair SSD users, it's exactly what they've been waiting for."

“Those of us close to SSDs watch e-tailer customer reviews very carefully as they can provide a very accurate view of SSDs from those that matter most, SSD owners. In the case of the Samsung 840 Series TLC SSD, its success is counted in 446 of 470 reviews as being 4-star or higher, which seems to dispel original predictions many had of the success of TLC memory. Let’s take a look at our top SSD choices for May 2013 along with our thoughts on each…”

“ Kurz vor unserem Urlaub wollen wir die Gelegenheit nutzen und euch noch eine SSD vorstellen, die ausnahmsweise mal nicht aus der Kategorie High End stammt, sondern eher der gehobenen Mittelklasse zuzuordnen wäre: die neue SanDisk Ultra Plus mit 256 GB Kapazität, einer seit November 2012 gängigen Größe für unsere SSD Tests.
Völlig überraschend verfügt auch diese SSD über einen Controller aus den bewährten Regalen von Marvell, diesmal allerdings mit der Bezeichnung SS889175. Dieser Controller darf mit Verlaub als abgespeckte Version des 88SS9174 Controllers bezeichnet werden, den wir ja hinlänglich von der Intel 510 SSD Serie kennen. Das deutlichste Unterscheidungsmerkmal stellt zweifellos die 4-kanalige Anbindung dar, wohingegen der 88SS9174 Controller über eine 8-kanalige Anbindung verfügt. Die verfügbaren Kapazitäten der SanDisk Ultra Plus Serie beschränken sich derzeit auf die Modelle mit 64,128 und 256 GB Kapazität. Die Random 4K Lesewerte werden mit 82000 IOPS angegeben, die Random 4K Schreibwerte mit 39000 IOPS. Für die sequentiellen Transferleistungen in MB bedeutet dies in etwa 530 MB/s fürs Lesen und ca. 445 MB/s fürs Schreiben.
Noch interessanter offenbart sich das aktuelle Preisgefüge, denn die 256 GB Variante wird im Netz derzeit für ca. 145 € avisiert, was wir angesichts der theoretischen Leistung für mehr als adäquat erachten, wenn es denn im Praxistest bei den versprochenen Transfer Resultaten bleibt. Genau das haben wir sehr genau überprüft, darum wünschen wir euch jetzt wieder spannende Unterhaltung beim Lesen unseres neuesten SSD Reviews..."
