As StorageReview expands our enterprise test lab, we’re finding a greater need for additional latest generation servers (like the HP D380p Gen8); not just from a storage perspective, but from a more global enterprise environment simulation perspective as well. As we test larger arrays and faster interconnects, we need platforms like the HP DL380p to

If we know anything about Drobo and the new B1200i, their mission statement is to keep storage simple. The 12-bay SAN has historically supported up to 48TB of storage via SATA and SAS hard drives via Drobo’s BeyondRAID automatic and instantaneous drive management system. Now the B1200i has a new trick up its sleeve, automated

As part of StorageReview’s continued advancements in both testing protocol and enterprise lab development, we’re taking a renewed look at first generation flash drives that we have previously reviewed. These re-reviews of early PCIe flash storage devices gave us the opportunity to refine and re-calibrate our enterprise review process before rolling out new reviews of

The Netgear GSM7352S 48-port switch is among the latest additions to StorageReview’s burgeoning enterprise testing environment. The GSM7352S offers much-needed room for growth in the test lab, and enables our staff to broaden the range of network topologies we can create while evaluating new storage gear. The GSM7352S offers 48 10/100/1000 Mbps ports, along with

Most storage solutions like the EMC VNX 5300 come to our enterprise test lab for review. On occasion though, we get an opportunity for hands-on time that requires us to bring our lab to on-site. That was the case last week as we spent hands on time with a pair of VNX 5300 unified storage

The 5big Office + is one of LaCie’s latest prosumer NAS devices, updated with a 1.6GHz Dual-core Intel 64-bit Atom processor and 2GB of RAM.

Toshiba launched the MK01GRRB series of enterprise hard drives at the end of last year. The 2.5" 15,000RPM 6Gb/s SAS drives are available in 147GB and 300GB capacities, making the MK01GRRB the fastest enterprise hard drive Toshiba offers in the 2.5-inch form factor. Toshiba isn’t just about spindle performance with this family of drives though, they’ve

Western Digital has just announced its first line of consumer networking products, the My Net family. WD provided us with a My Net N900 wireless router, effectively the top-of-the-line until the arrival of the My Net N900 Central with integrated storage next quarter. Our first impression is that the My Net series adds a few
