SanDisk makes many well-known flash storage based hardware. Infact, I am using SanDisk Class 10 16GB 95MB/s SD card with the Canon 600D ever since I’ve purchased the camera. The first product from SanDisk that I got for review, SanDisk’s SSD Cache Drive, made a good impression because of what the software had to offer [...]

ADATA’s SX900 uses Intel Flash NAND+ a very well known and aged SandForce SF-2281VB1 controller. This isn’t a new combo that SSDs have. In fact, its been a popular choice for a while- around the time Samsung 830 and Crucial M4 were around. Now during the time when Plextor and Samsung’s 840 non-pro/pro versions are [...]

WD sends a 500GB Blue Series drive with a 7mm thickness form-factor. There’s really nothing much to be said, but slimmer 2.5mm drives are 7mm thick. Some 7mm thick drives were reviewed in the past and they have many good usefulness such installing them on an ultrabook or pretty decent alternate to install in a [...]

WD sent their Caviar Black version of 2TB drive: 2002 FAEX for evaluation. Last time when I reviewed the WD Red series, it made a good impression especially when it comes to temperatures during load. It makes a lot more sense to go for such drives when you’re considering RAID 0 configurations, although I am [...]

The first SSD based Cache drive that I’ve reviewed was Corsair Accelerator which used the SSD Caching software from Nvelo. At the time of writing that review, because of the Nvelo caching software, the function of SSD Cache was extremely limited but then there was an update where they said they’ve taken care of it [...]

The last Seagate drive that I reviewed was the 1TB portable version of Backup plus. The one that I’ve recently received from Seagate is the desktop 3TB version. Unlike the portable version, the desktop version requires an AC adapter to power up the drive. Although it should be of news that during CES 2013, a [...]

Rugged drives are always appreciated by a lot of people for the obvious reason that they provide better casing and protecting the drive. ADATA sent a DashDrive Durable HD710 500GB, a rugged drive that is shockproof and waterproof. Shockproof external drives are appreciated. Waterproof- well- what are the odds of you dropping your drive on [...]

ADATA makes storage and memory drives too: SSDs, flash storage, memory kits and portable storage devices. So its going to start off with ADATA HV610, a USB 3.0 drive with a 500GB storage capacity. A disclaimer however, this drive was used for approx. 200 hours according to CDI’s S.M.A.R.T readout. Its used and has some [...]

Why a Velociraptor when SSDs are around? Lets not forget that we don’t have a mass storage+ affordable SSDs yet. But judging by the prices of even the mainstream and low- cost/storage hard drives that have still not returned to what they used to be even before Thailand floods, story most likely would still be [...]

A drive no heavier than 12g and no bigger than 70x 21x 8.1mm, Transcend sent they JetFlash 780 16GB USB 3.0 for evaluation. Now that USB 3.0 pretty much have taken over, 16-32gigs would easily become a new norm. The last review for flash drive which was done is with Corsair Stealth Survivor 16GB- which [...]
