  • Abstract:  When SSD makers want to emphasize their advantages, they often talk about how much engineering resources they put into their products. A typical SSD has three basic constituents: flash memory, controller and firmware. Not all of the firms engaged into ...

  • When it comes to SSD's it can be extremely confusing for all but the most knowledgeable enthusiasts. Back in the day people would look at a hard drive read and write speeds and from there you had a good idea of how it would perform. Hell, for that matter...

  • Abstract:  The first mSATA-based SSDs we reviewed wowed us with diminutive dimensions, but not as much with performance. Today's best efforts are a lot more like their desktop equivalents, though. We round up 10 models between 64 and 256 GB and nail down a winner. ...

  • Fastest all-around consumer-grade drive we've tested to date, Five-year warranty
  • No data-migration software bundled, A bit pricier than other "performance-grade" drives
  • It's a bit pricier than other SSDs of its capacity we've tested in 2012, and its thickness will keep it out of many thin laptops, but the Vertex 4 blazed through our benchmark tests, making it a great option for power users. ...

  • We can see from our tests that the OCZ Vertex 4 and Kingston HyperX 3K have strengths and weaknesses in different areas. This makes it quite difficult to make clear-cut judgments about which one performs best.The differences in performance between the two...

  • Abstract:  We are usually not very thrilled about reviewing SSDs with 120 or 128 gigabytes storage capacity. This capacity is just not good for showing what a particular SSD design can do. Today’s SSDs use eight-channel controllers and 64-gigabit flash memory chi...
