First of all, we want to note the fact that the existence of these three product series is indeed justifiable. The OCZ IBIS series includes top-end products designed for users who need to get a large number of fantastically fast disks into a server...

This is going to be a joyless conclusion. The widely available SSDs based on the JMicron controller can only disappoint you with their performance, especially if compared with alternative products. We can only recommend them if your SSD is going to...

The ADATA S596 is a very capable SSD and one of the better performing JMicron drives we've tested. Having the flexibility of accessing data via the USB 2.0 interface gives it an edge over drives missing this feature.

Despite the pricey SSD inside, performance is as slow as any USB 2.0 portable drive. But the diskGenie now offers an added level of robustness and security against damage thanks to that solid-state storage. Only the most paranoid and well-heeled should...

The built in standoffs confused me for a bit as I was wondering why there were only a couple of the brass screw in standoffs included in the case, but after placing my mobo in the case saw that they lined up and were the same height as the standoffs...

ASUS created the netbook and they continue to innovate in that market. We look at the new 1005HA to see what it brings to the table.

Corsair has done a very nice job with their Indilinx-controlled Nova series which has posted results that give other similarly equipped SSD's a run for their money. Money is the keyword here as where the pricing settles will determine how successful...

Do yourself a favor and don't buy Corsair SSD's (all of their other stuff is great). I own G-Skill, Samsung and Intel SSD's and only the Corsair ones have these severe issues! It's NOT the controller because G-Skill uses the exact same. Also, SSD...
