The Intel SSD 335 Series is a progressive update of the SSD 330, which was released in April of this year. Aside from minor software changes, the only major iterative difference with the SSD 335 is the NAND. Where the SSD 330 used 25nm MLC NAND, the SSD 335 takes advantage of a die shrink,

Samsung has announced its latest 2.5-inch, 7mm SSD solutions, the SSD 840 and SSD 840 Pro. StorageReview has been working with an SSD 840 Pro review unit in our lab to see whether Samsung has continued to build on the accomplishments of the SSD 830 and SSD 470. Like the SSD 830 and SSD 470,

As with most SSD reviewers, StorageReview is typically sent a 240GB capacity drive from a new family of SSDs for review. There are several reasons for this, but in the SandForce world, it’s generally because the 240GB capacity is the fastest due to NAND die configuration. Once the 240GB review is complete, we try to

When OCZ announced the Petrol family of SSDs at the end of last year, it was clear they wanted to be able to offer an entry-level SSD to appeal to the consumer who wants many of the benefits of an SSD, but doesn’t have the budget or computing need to justify a mainstream or enthusiast

OCZ managed to release their flagship Vertex 4 SSD two months ahead of schedule when they released it in April. In our first review of the Vertex 4, we credited OCZ for their aggressive release schedule and bold move away from SandForce controllers, but had several reservations about performance. The Vertex 4 executed well in some

We recently reviewed the new Intel SSD 330 and awarded it an Editor’s Choice for its combination of capable performance and value. The Intel 330 120GB flavor can be had for only $150 at retailers, putting it within reach of many consumer buyers looking to boost the performance of a laptop that might be hobbled

The SSD 330 uses the same controller as the 520 does, the
