At IDF last week Intel launched their new enterprise line of SSDs, the 710 Series. The SSD 710 is Intel’s first enterprise SSD in quite a while, the previous generation X25-E has been in the market for nearly three years. Over that span of time, a lot has changed in the enterprise space and those

LaCie and beautiful design intuitively go together, thanks to years of LaCie regularly pumping out great looking storage devices. The LaCie 5big Network 2 is no different, sporting the classic aluminum body around a 5-bay NAS that comes pre-configured in 5TB, 10TB and 15TB capacities. This NAS isn’t just all looks though, it’s a performer

Fusion-io has built an entire brand around speed – their ioDrive PCIe SSDs have long been touted as some of the fasted storage devices on the market. If your enterprise needs even more performance in a single PCIe slot, then there's the Fusion-io ioDrive Duo, which basically doubles down on performance. We put a 640GB

Serious audio and video production requires serious storage space. Uncompressed HD video consumes 190MB of drive space per second. That can drop as low as 1.5MB/s with compression, but there’s truth in the video editor’s lament that no matter how much storage space you have, you always need more. OWC hopes to help resolve this

Western Digital already sells a wildly popular 3TB Caviar Green consumer hard drive. They’ve expanded their green drive offerings to introduce a version specifically for audio and video applications, including DVRs and video surveillance.

Seagate’s Constellation enterprise hard drives come in 6Gbps SAS and SATA interfaces; we pit them against one another using the second-gen Constellation.2 2.5″ drive and fifth-gen Constellation ES.2 3.5″ drive.  

In part one of this review, we looked at the feasibility of buying this RAID card to get 6.0Gbps, which showed measurable performance gains when using SSDs. In part two, we investigate whether 6.0Gbps SATA improves hard drive performance. Read on for more.  

In August of last year, Micron announced the enterprise grade RealSSD P300. The P300 was the first enterprise SSD to market featuring the speedy SATA 6Gb/s interface delivering steady state IOPS up to 44,000 reads and 16,000 writes and throughput speeds of 360MB/s read and 275MB/s write. The P300 is powered by a Marvell 9174-family
