In this day and age, storage is everything, especially when you're on the go, and there's generally speaking, two ways of having it in your life when mobile. The first is utilising the cloud and the second is via USB storage. Patriot's newest USB flash drive is aimed at users needing both large capacities and high performance and is branded under the Supersonic Magnum branding, though not for the faint hearted, as the range starts from around £70.

Was bringt SATA 6 Gb/s für Festplatten? Dass Solid State Drives von der höheren Bandbreite profitieren, hatte uns Crucials RealSSD C300 gezeigt, doch können auch Festplatten Vorteile aus der schnelleren Schnittstelle ziehen? Wir haben dies mit Western Digitals nagelneuer Caviar Black WD1002FAEX getestet und Seagates Barracuda 7200.12 ST31000528AS zum Vergleich herangezogen.

With an outside temperature of about -30 degrees Celsius at the time of writing this review (That's -22 degrees Fahrenheit for those oddballs who still use such a weird unit of measurement, but we will leave that discussion for another day), sometimes, I kind of wonder where Al Gore is when you need him. Okay, I guess we do know where he is. So meanwhile Al Gore is happily tapping away in his Nashville, Tennessee mansion at above freezing temperatures, us here in Calgary could really use some warmth. A bonfire or something would be nice, as long as it is not inside my igloo house. Speaking of bonfires, a few months ago, we have covered the Patriot Pyro 120GB solid state drive. The Pyro 120GB is one sleek looking drive with the performance to boot -- a quick hop over to a popular online retailer's website shows us it is finally in the same price range as the OCZ Agility 3 120GB; its main competitor. But there seems to be something missing in Patriot's SSD lineup. If the Wildfire stacks up against the OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS and the Pyro against the Agility 3, what does Patriot have that competes with the vanilla Vertex 3? Without the need to come up with a completely new name, the Pyro SE 240GB we have here at APH Networks this morning is the company's answer to OCZ's Vertex 3. Enough said, let's get straight to the juicy details.

Hardwareoverclock.com haben einen neuen Bericht online gestellt. Nach den ganzen SSD Testberichten haben sie sich mit diesem Thema noch weiter befasst und sich gefragt, warum eigentlich die schnellen und vor allem lautlosen Festplatten nicht auch in einem Laptop verwenden. Immerhin sind diese ebenfalls 2,5“ groß und könnten ein gutes Upgrade für einen mobilen Computer sein. Deswegen haben sie ihre schon getestete Corsair P128 SSD in einem Acer Aspire 6920G verbaut und die Leistung verglichen.

The ways to share and store that media have brought with it a plethora of new storage devices. The move to "the cloud" has also allowed people to access virtually anything from anywhere and from any device. Today, we look at a device that looks to meet all of those needs in a fairly simple, plug-and-play solution - the Buffalo Technology CloudStor 2TB NAS Server.

Hard drive docks have become as common as external enclosures and it seems everyone is making them. The docks out there all seem the same basic design, but the one I have today is very much different. For review today I have the Hornettek Slipper U3 HDD docking station. The name is interesting but fitting as you just literally slip your hard drive into the dock. The Slipper can use either 2.5” or 3.5” drives and is USB 3.0 capable for maximum transfer speeds. "

Although 5TB hard disk drives should be upon us by now with 6TB ones following closely behind them it seems that manufacturers feel that 4TB is still more than just enough for the majority of consumers and even though they are probably right (judging by all the people i know) I’ve said it many times and will say it many more than until 10TB drives (or more) make their appearance in the market enthusiasts and professionals alike will not be completely satisfied (when you have 20-30TB of data it's neither easy nor convenient to have twice as many drives around just for backup purposes). Still it's not like we have any other choice so at least we can do our best to follow the flow of things and test as many 4TB hard disk drives as we can get our hands on so all of you can know what to expect. Such is the latest Nearline MG03ACA400 SATA III HDD model by Toshiba which we have on our test bench today.

Throughout the Synology product range each other models available can come in one of three variations the first of these is the standard series and this has no indicator after the name giving us a model name such as DS414. The second option, which is indicated by plus after the model number indicates that this is a performance system offering the best features that Synology have to offer, whilst the third option indicated by a ‘j’ indicates that a model is geared for the entry-level user whose focus is more on getting the largest capacity as possible was not worried about performance either things too much. Typically, ‘j’ series systems have tended to come with a single core processor and by doing so this has kept the price point down, which for the entry-level user is more important than performance.

The massive capacity of the Seagate GoFlex Desk 4TB USB 3.0 hard drive could probably store your entire media collection with room to spare - and with the USB 3.0 interface it can transfer it with lightening speed. The included software is more of a basic solution; if you want something a bit more robust you'll have to pony up $50 or find another third-party solution.

Today Chris follows up the Transcend SSD720 review with the mainstream model, the SSD320. The SSD320 pairs asynchronous flash with the same SandForce controller found in the flagship 720 model. This combination reduces the total cost, but does it also significantly reduce performance?
