The Corsair Force Series 3 is one of three current generation SSDs offered by Corsair. It’s nearly identical to their Force Series GT, both leverage a SATA 6Gb/s interface, SandForce SF-2281 processors and 25nm MLC NAND. The key difference is the Series 3 uses Asynchronous NAND where the GT uses Synchronous NAND. The difference gives

The Pyro SE is the latest SSD from Patriot and is a new and improved version of the Pyro, both of which are powered by SandForce’s SF-2281 processor. The main difference between the two is that instead of asynchronous NAND, the Pyro SE is equipped with 25nm synchronous MLC NAND, which can deliver up to

We recently reviewed the OCZ Octane SSD in a 512GB capacity, one of the four capacity points offered by OCZ in the Octane family. For many SSD buyers though the 128GB capacity is the sweet spot, with the average consumer SSD capacity hovering near 150GB, 128GB SSDs offer a nice blend of capacity, performance and

Synology has a tradition of delivering excellent high-performance Network Attached Storage products that are both flexible and affordable. The last time we took a look at a 3.5″ hard drive based Synology DiskStation was last year, when we gave the DS411+ a shining review because of its incredibly easy-to-use setup and accompanying software. Today, we

The SSD 710 is Intel’s first enterprise-class SSD in quite some time – it’s been three years since they introduced their last one, the X-25E. Packed with more cost effective eMLC instead of SLC NAND, the SSD 710 gives enterprise buyers a mix of endurance and increased capacity at a more aggressive price point than

LSI’s line of MegaRAID RAID cards have tremendous market share for good reason, they’re looked at by many as the de facto standard thanks to solid hardware and a fantastic software stack. Of course LSI’s MegaRAID cards are capable of more than just tying together drives, their CacheCade Pro 2.0 add-on leverages the speed benefit
