SSD Costs Are Still Higher Than Platter Drives
Metal case is heavier and less durable than plastic
We've added more SSDs to our database and observed a number of significant price changes in the past month. As a result, this months recommendations undergo a notable revamp. And to those of you waiting for a hierarchy table at the end, it's here! Deta...
The OCZ Vertex 3 makes a thoroughly good impression as a new high-end solid state drive for end-users. The transfer rates in a notebook via SATA 3 (6 Gbit/s) are very high, with a maximum of 550 MB/s (reading), and concur with the figures in the marketing...
As ever, when you’re coming at an SSD from a HDD perspective, it’s tough to argue with the speed increase and the sudden disappearance of noise and vibration from a spinning drive. However, not all SSDs are created equal, as the OCZ’s benchmarks prove...
Abstract: Every new SSD controller is met with lots of rumors and discussions, especially if it is declared to have high speed specs. The SandForce controllers are just like that.

While the pros and cons of making the move to an SSD over a traditional hard drive have probably been well-worn within your minds by now, there's never any harm in going over them again. Of course, the biggest advantage of "normal" hard disks remains...

The good news is that none of the 12 SSDs we reviewed left a bad impression. Only one product, the Cavalry Pelican SSD, failed to reach the performance level we’d expect from modern drives (200+ MB/s reads for desktop/mobile type SSDs). Every other...
