You may remember that back in October, we took a look at the OCZ Vertex 3 240GB SSD, which simply blew us away in terms of the performance that was on offer with lightning fast speeds and a decent set of internals featuring a SandForce controller.
Working on the success of that drive, OCZ have developed the Max IOPS version with a few minor touches from themselves. The development on the Max IOPS has had a bit of a revamp in terms of the PCB, the NAND used with Toshiba Toggle Flash being used opposed to IMFT flash as seen on the original Vertex 3. These little touches allow the Vertex 3 Max IOPS to deliver more when it comes to the overall I/O operations per second, which is the whole purpose of this drive.
OCZ always quote their 4KB Random Write Aligned IOPS through use of IOMeter 2008 and with the standard Vertex 3 coming in at 60,000 write, we find the Max IOPS boasting a massive 75,000 IOPs. An impressive figure to say the least, but we all know that sales hype can sometimes be exactly that.
It's drives like this that we're really keen to look at as they offer something different to the norm and get our enthusiast blood pumping again, so let's get straight into it by starting off with what comes included, as we all know OCZ always like to bundle a nice package together.
As time goes by more and more of you ask me about my opinion surrounding NAS units and more specifically which ones i consider to offer the best bang for your buck. Things however are never black and white when we are talking about technology so in the end it all comes down to what your needs are and how much you are willing to spend on it. So if you just want to buy a NAS Server to use just as a download station then even the entry-level Qnap TS-119P II (review soon) will be more than enough for that purpose so there's really no need for you to spend much. On the other hand if you want an NAS Server for multiple usages, for example use as a download station, media station, FTP server and webserver then you would do well to choose something more powerful like the Qnap TS-219P II. Performance however is only part of what makes a NAS server and so aside you deciding what use you need it for you also need to know how many drives bays you may require. Up until today we have mostly focused on 2 and 4 bay mid-end solutions but since many of you asked today we will be taking a look at the latest TurboNAS TS-469 Pro which as the name suggests is the latest high-end 4bay mid-end (SMB) solution from QNAP.
Der Flash Survivor von Corsair macht seinem Namen in vielerlei Hinsicht alle Ehre. Seit seiner Einführung im Jahre 2007 an der Seite des nicht ganz so massiv verpackten Flash Voyager hat er bis heute überlebt. Wenngleich die Technik im Inneren das ein oder andere Update verzeichnete, so blieb die Hülle aus Aluminium stets vorhanden. Ob zum Tauchen oder als Flaschenöffner, der Stick hat seine Fangemeinde gefunden. Wir haben uns das Topmodell der aktuellen Reihe, den Flash Voyager GTR mit 32GB Speicherplatz, angesehen.
The Kingston 16GB DataTraveler Locker+ flash drive makes protecting your data just about foolproof, while still offering transfer rates to rival a typical flash drive. I had assumed that the hardware-based encryption and security software running from the drive would have an impact on performance, but real-world use and benchmarking proved me wrong.
An SSD arrived earlier today that I thought all might like to read about. A quick change of plans to the negative of a few and here we are taking pictures and benchmarking the new OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 6G 120GB SSD. Having just completed testing, OWC gets a big thumbs up for being only the second manufacturer to release an SSD with SandForces new SF-2000 series SATA 3 processor as well as ensuring the '6G' is of the quality that we have come to appreciate.
The WD Black and Seagate Desktop HDD.15 are both 4TB drives with 64MB of cache, but they differ internally on how they reach this large capacity. WD uses five 800GB platters and Seagate uses four 1TB platters to reach 4TB. Seagate informed us that the new 1TB per platter design significantly increases the hard drive’s performance over the competition. It also consumes 35 percent less power than comparable drives on the market with 4TB capacities, so this will be an interesting matchup...
There’s a relative lack of 4TB hard drive options on the market at the moment, but those looking for enthusiast or enterprise models are well taken care of. We’ve already taken a look at WD’s enthusiast part, the Black 4TB, so now it’s time to shift our attention to the feature-packed and enterprise-focused RE.
Solid State Drives sind mittlerweile in fast jedem System zu finden und werden entweder als System-Speicher oder zum Daten-Caching eingesetzt. Waren zur Markteinführung Modelle mit 120 oder 128 Gigabyte aufgrund des vertretbaren Preises interessant, gewannen im Laufe der Zeit die Ableger mit 240 bis 256 Gigabyte Kapazität an Attraktivität. Aus diesem Grund haben wir uns 14 aktuelle Solid State Drives der verschiedenen Hersteller mit eben dieser Menge an Speicherplatz ins Testlabor geholt.
Today for review I've got another NAS box from QNAP called the TS-259 Pro. This box can use either 2.5” or 3.5” drives and features an Intel Atom Processor along with one gig of DDR2 ram. The TS-259 Pro also features five USB ports along with two eSATA ports and two gigabit ethernet connections as well. I've put it up against the Thecus N3200 pro that I've been using for over a year now and found that it's a bit faster, so read on..
The mobile storage market is quite competitive even with raising disk prices from the Thailand flooding. Because of this, Hitachi has taken steps to differentiate themselves from most competitors. We've seen several stylish USB 3.0 drives on the market, but we've yet to see one that includes cloud based storage. Hitachi's included 3GB storage can be increased to 250GB by opting into the paid service. Both the free and paid services can be accessed from any IP based device, like your desktop, notebook, tablet or smart phone. This service obviously goes well beyond just mobile storage and moves into the realm of everywhere storage.
