OCZ have gone through lots of changes as of late including the main aspect of the company being changed from a mass memory manufacturer to a switch of product focus in the SSD market. This has given OCZ the chance to put all of their efforts into SSDs which until now have been a majorly overpriced component of a computer system.

Nach dem MX-FX hat Mach Xtreme mit dem MX-GX einen zweiten USB-3.0-Stick vorgestellt. Die Ein-chip-Lösung zielt auf das untere Marktsegment ab. Ob man dies auch bei der Leistung zu spüren bekommt, oder ob der Stick ein Schnäppchen in der wachsenden Angebotsvielfalt ist, soll unser aktueller Test klären.

It would be difficult for most people to imagine the amount of testing that goes into a product review. I think most reading this have run a benchmark on their system before, but few can really grasp what it means to systematically run test after test without varying order or timeline. We run a lot of tests, several more than what makes it into a final review. Once you master the art of testing and the discipline of keeping a dedicated test machine, certain patterns emerge. Some of these show up in the tests that are published and sometimes they show up in others. When a test shows something of value and isn't redundant with another test, we typically bring that test into the review. This can sometimes be to explain something we saw in another test or at times add a way to look at a product.

Last year we reviewed the Thecus N4200 just days after its release. The N4200 is still to this day the only consumer NAS that offers dual status display screens, but more importantly, the only consumer NAS to include a battery backup system. When Thecus first marketed their N4200 a lot of emphasis was placed on the new dual display feature, but we felt that the battery backup feature was the real standout feature.

At KitGuru we spend a lot of time testing the latest and greatest components on the market for PC enthusiasts across the globe. But today we have set aside some time for Mac users, namely those who want to make the most out of their machine. Anyone who has looked into buying a new Macbook recently will know that Apple demand hundreds of pounds to install a solid state drive into your system, making it a less than desirable option. But if you perform the upgrade yourself, you can save a significant amount of money.

USB 3.0 has a lot of promise for devices that need large amounts of bandwidth. So far we've only been given a glimpse of what the specification has to offer. The big marketing claim for USB 3.0 has always been 'up to 10x USB 2.0 speeds', but in our real world testing we've only been able to achieve around 200MB/s. With USB 2.0 topping out at around 35MB/s on a good day, 10x USB 2.0 has yet to be achieved. There are several reasons for this, but what it really comes down to is PCIe bandwidth and what current chipsets are able to make available after all those video cards, SATA, eSATA and USB ports take up. On top of the bandwidth limitations is the current crop of USB 3.0 controller and bridge chips. Many do not offer the 10x bandwidth we have been promised.

While we’ve reviewed a few media hubs and media pc equivalents recently, this isn’t always what people want. Sometimes they want something that sits away from the lounge area but still provides content. Synology have something that does just that, but also a lot more. This NAS isn’t for the faint of heart; the DS411J is packed full of multi-tasking ability. Media server, FTP, torrents, internet radio, iTunes and more.

Synology's DS211j is a great addition to an expanding home network. Not only does it provide storage and backup solutions, it also offers print and media server capabilities, website hosting, PC-free downloading, and much more at a price that is easy on the wallet.

The Mach Xtreme MX-GX USB 3.0 Flash Drives offer incredible read speeds and come in 4 different flavours: 8GB, 16GB, 32GB or 64GB; they are also priced competitively, the 16GB model being found at CaseKing.de for about 29.90 Euros.

Auch in unserem zweiten Teil des NAS-Vergleichstests sehen wir uns verschiedene NAS Systeme für den Heimgebrauch an. Nachdem wir in Teil 1 bereits Geräte von Thecus und Netgear testen konnten, stellen sich heute zwei Modelle von Buffalo sowie ein Gerät von D-Link unserem Test. Neben Modellen mit Einschüben für 3,5 Zoll Festplatten, haben wir mit der Buffalo Linkstation Mini auch erstmalig ein Modell mit 2,5 Zoll kompatiblen Festplattenschächten im Vergleich.
