Crucial M4 SATA 6GB/s Solid State Drive
|
|
Crucial hit the pavement running when they received the C300 series of solid state drives. With a read/write of 355MB/sec and 140MB/sec respectfully, the C300 was not slug. But with the introduction of the SATA III controller and the P67 chipset many manufacturers felt it was time to unleash their transfer power. Crucial was one of those companies as they released the m4 series of solid state drives. What kinds of improvements number wise does the new model have over the older model? Read on.

Whoops, Intel SNB Is Borked At The Last Minute In Linux
|
|
This morning after writing Intel Sandy Bridge On Ubuntu 11.04
Is Still Troubling, I proceeded to build the latest Mesa / Linux kernel
/ libdrm / DDX Git stack to see where the latest Intel SNB code is at
and how it's running for the popular Core i5 2500K processor. Before
leaving three weeks ago, everything was running great, but to much
surprise, this morning it was a broken mess. Intel just regressed hard
in their Sandy Bridge support for the about-to-be-released Linux 2.6.39
kernel. Whoops!"

Silicon Power Velox V30 60 GB SSD @ techPowerUp
|
|
The Silicon Power Velox V30 60 GB SSD is built around Sandforce`s successful SF-2281 flash controller which promises outstanding performance and full support for the SATA 6 Gbps interface. After a closer look we noticed that the drive uses only half the flash channels available, will this turn out to be a dealbreaker?"

Patriot Torqx 2 256GB Solid State Drive Review
|
|
"Back in May we previewed the Patriot Torqx 2 120GB solid state drive and found that it offered average mainstream performance that was better than the large OEM system builder solutions. In short, that was code for saying the 120GB model sucked for enthusiasts, but then again, this isn't an enthusiast SSD. The Torqx 2 did offer low access times that were a lot less than platter drives, so Twitface and web surfers still get the SSD feel, but only see small performance increases when transferring data.
After Patriot released the Torqx 2, they followed it up with the 2011 flagship WildFire that uses a SandForce SF-2281 controller and synchronous flash, and then the Pyro that uses the same SandForce SF-2281 controller, but paired it with asynchronous flash. The price difference between the Pyro and the Torqx 2 at the time of writing is very small, so that leads us to wonder what Patriot is planning to do with the Torqx 2 and the long established Torqx Series of products all together."

OCZ Octane 512GB Indilinx SSD Review @ Legit Reviews
|
|
It`s interesting to see how OCZ is marketing these Octane new Solid State Drives. They are `Indilinx infused` vesrus `SandForce driven`. Indilinx drives have nDurance technology while SandForce has DuraClass technology. I can`t help but be reminded of the movie Coming To America where Cleo McDowell comments on his feud with McDonald`s: Look... me and the McDonald`s people got this little misunderstanding. See, they`re McDonald`s... I`m McDowell`s. They got the Golden Arches, mine is the Golden Arcs. They got the Big Mac, I got the Big Mick. We both got two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions, but their buns have sesame seeds. My buns have no seeds..."

Patriot Javelin S4 Media Storage Server Review
|
|
"The Patriot Javelin S4 Media Server lives up to its name of being much more than a simple NAS but a real multimedia server. The combination of up to 12TB of network based storage and the ultra simple plug and play convenience of the quick configuration wizard makes this SOHO solution perfect for someone new to the NAS market. This unit put my fears to rest of a noisy box under my desk because even with all four WD drives being hit hard with random access I was not able to hear a sound from the HDD's or the cooling fan..."

Western Digital WD Elements SE 1 TB USB 2.0 HDD
|
|
"Western Digital, a company that has producing hard drives since the
late 1980s, certainly has a well-established reputation for the
quality and reliability of their hard drives. And, before they
manufactured hard drives, Western Digital's specialty was disk
controllers, going back as far as the 1970s. With such a powerful
amassing of engineering technology and expertise at their disposal, a
completely in-house, ultra-portable, high-capacity external hard drive
is not an unexpected product. Today, we are going to be taking a look
at the product that should exactly meet those three descriptors - the
WDBABV0010BBK. Hopefully, the drive's performance is able to match, or
exceed, the slick cosmetic appeal of the Elements SE."
