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. ...
Abstract: Installing an SSD in your PC, be it a laptop or a desktop, is one of the easiest and most effective ways to boost the machine's overall performance. The change won't be merely noticeable—it will startle you. Your system will boot more quickly, windows and...

The new Vertex 4 SSDs from OCZ incorporate the Indilinx Everest 2 controller, unlike the second and third iterations from the past; the new controller comes with features like Auto-Encryption, AES-256 support, Ndurance 2.0 Technology for reduced write...
Since reviews for each SSD tested today is already available, this article is more simply about RAID 0 performance testing rather than a full fledged review, so I'll only be sharing some general thoughts on SSD RAID 0 configurations along with a little bi...
It is worth mentioning that the OCZ Vertex 4 has been on the market since April of this year, so it is hardly a newcomer compared to some of the SSDs we have directly compared it to. Seeing that it has been selling for six months and still shows to be one...
Abstract: After the first generation of the SandForce controller, the successor was hotly anticipated. Although the data compression principle was a bit controversial at first, the second generation of SandForce controller logic launched an industry-wide trend ...
