Ah the workplace computer. There’s no better ecosystem to see what the effects of various system management tools and other software can have on PC performance (hint: it’s not pretty). Kingston has announced their new SSDNow V+100 lineup of solid state drives, targeted at the corporate world, with capacities ranging from 64GB to 512GB with […]
Storage
Storage performance doesn’t affect the home user nearly as much as it does the server crowd but somewhere on down the line this is bound to make it into desktop machines. Intel is working to integrate hardware RAID functionality into their Patsburg chipset, presumably their next high end desktop/server chipset, and Serial Attached SCSI support […]

As content rich as mobile devices are it’s hard to be a veritable shutterbug when you’re limited on storage space. Thankfully Kingston has announced their new 32GB microSDHC card which should offer up plenty of capacity for your music, pictures, or whatever else you like to carry around and view on your smartphone or other […]
The amount of digital stuff we accumulate is astounding despite the fact that we probably won’t watch, listen to, read, or view the things we decide to back up…then again peace of mind is important. The Seagate 3TB FreeAgent GoFlex Desk, as you can tell by its storage capacity, sports more than enough space to […]

Solid State Drives have brought about a new era of performance to the personal computer but their performance is somewhat limited by the storage interfaces we have in our systems…so the obvious fix is to implement better ones. OCZ’s Ibis prototype drive can link up with its custom built board that, in theory, can accept […]

Smaller systems tend to put a squeeze on the amount of space they have for just about everything including storage. The InnoDisk nanoSSD 64GB provides speedy access in a drive that’s insanely minuscule. Seriously its power plug is bulkier than the drive itself…which sort of kills the whole space aspect but who cares anyway. The […]

Memory technologies come and go…no wait we’re still stuck with the same basic volatile RAM our systems use and the flash based memory our gadgetry and solid state drives are based off of. Interestingly enough HP stumbled into a method for creating something of a hybrid that might one day improve performance. They’ve partnered up […]
I’m all for cramming as much storage as possible into your PC but a large segment of the population can’t be bothered to pop open their desktops and it’s not like you can fit a 3.5″ hard drive into a notebook anyway so the external storage drive fits the bill quite nicely. The Seagate FreeAgent […]

Solid State Drives have been beneficial to general PC usage but bandwidth intensive tasks, such as database querying, requires a heftier set of hardware in order to work their magic even faster. Fusion-io’s PCI Express based storage cards offer an extreme amount of bandwidth and input/output operations per second, with an appropriate price tag to […]

It was bound to happen sooner or later but we’re beginning to see Solid State Drives (SSD) begin the precipitous fall towards a price range where they’ll be easily adopted into PCs at large. If you’re not up on what these flash memory packed drives can do well just look around at the various examples […]

The world of the solid state drive is a wild and confusing one with all manner of factors to take into account from the number of flash chips on the drive, which could cut effective bandwidth speeds should there be too few, to the flash controller and the firmware version it’s running. A tough set […]
