SandForce SF2281 Controller Is Getting Old
Whenever we get to test a product based around a specific hardware part which has been proven time and again in several similar products (like the SandForce SF-2281 controller) the end result is pretty much predetermined. That is even more certain when we...
Abstract: Six weeks have passed since our last SSD endurance update. When we last visited our heroes, they had just crossed the half-petabyte threshold—no small feat for a collection of consumer-grade drives that includes the Corsair Neutron GTX, Intel 335 Series, ...
Abstract: Solid-state drives are everywhere, and we shouldn't be surprised. SSDs have long been much faster than mechanical hard drives—and the difference striking enough for even casual users to perceive. The major holdup was pricing, which has become much more re...
Abstract: Solid-state drives have revolutionized the PC storage industry. Their wicked-fast access times deliver a palpable improvement in overall system responsiveness, and prices have fallen enough to make decent-sized drives affordable for all. There's just one ...
Abstract: Flash memory has limited write endurance. So do the SSDs based on it. How many writes can modern drives take before they expire, and what happens to them as the flash wears out? We're trying to find out by testing a selection of SSDs to failure. You can r...
Abstract: SSDs are pretty awesome. They're fast enough to provide a palpable improvement in overall system responsiveness and affordable enough that even budget rigs can get in on the action. Without moving parts, SSDs also tolerate rough handling much better than ...
Consistent performance across benchmark tests, Custom firmware designed to increase drive stability, longevity
Expensive compared to other mainstream drives, 9.5mm profile won't fit certain thin laptops
Intel's updated mainstream SSD offers decent performance and a solid upgrade package. It's priced a bit higher than some faster drives, though, so do shop around unless you put stock in Intel's stability and longevity claims. ...
Abstract: Intel should need no introduction when it comes to solid-state drives – after all, it is generally recognized that the company's entry into the SSD market back in 2008 with the X25 series is what catalyzed the SSD movement. The market has changed consider...
