Intel 530 SSDs never received much attention, but when you need a low cost, high capacity drive that's reliable, this one is worthy of your consideration.

The reward for all this work is storage that's capable of up to 2,400MBps throughput, which is way up from the 500MBps-to-600MBps of SATA SSDs. Now, we know this isn't for the mainstream user, but the well-funded DIY enthusiast now has a new way of...

Since we are dealing with two drives, it makes sense to split the conclusion into two and I will start with the 845DC PRO. While all we have today is a performance preview, the 845DC PRO is turning out to be one of the best enterprise SATA SSDs that we...

At launch, the new Intel SSD 730 Series makes a very good internal drive choice for your computer, but it'll become a better value when its street price drops below the current suggested retail price.

As one of the fastest budget solid-state drives, the Plextor M6V is a very good replacement SSD for any computer that still uses a traditional hard drive.

Looking at the results, there is no doubt the Patriot Torqx is the best out of the two solid state drives that entered Neoseeker's labs; it was beaten in only one test by the OCZ Agility. It is in the 4K 64-threads test of the AS SSD benchmark. This...

The Plextor M6e PX-AG256M6e (256GB) makes the most sense for customers who either don't have enough SATA ports to mount another drive, or who want a single-drive solution that uses more robust NAND with significantly better performance than current...

All in all, I am pleased to see more competition in the value SSD segment. Crucial and Samsung have dominated that for too long but the SM2246EN is turning out to be a platform that can challenge Crucial's and Samsung's drives in the three main...

Kingston's new HyperX 3K SSD has appeared, powered by a second-generation SandForce SF-2281 processor. Sizes ranging from 90GB to 480GB and are appropriately...

On the first page, we spent quite a few words on exploring the various model SSDs Corsair sells on the market, and for one simple reason. Out of all the models listed there are only two worth considering, either because the others were superseded or...

SanDisk's X210 SSD is both an OEM drive for major vendors and an aftermarket product for the enthusiast world. Having passed a gauntlet of validation tests, can it break into the consumer space as a true alternative to the quickest power user products?

This was my second SSD review and just like the first one, I am duly impressed. The speed increase in Photoshop alone would justify the $200+ price tag that accompanies the Agility 2 line. There is only one con I feel I should list, and it is not a...

For the last few years, OCZ's consumer SSD lineup has primarily consisted of two models: Vertex and Agility. The history of these two goes all the way back to 2009 when OCZ realized that they can differentiate their SSDs by equipping them with...

I may sound like a broken record but all SandForce SSDs except Intel's are more or less the same. While there are small variations in performance, the big picture is still alike. You have a few NAND choices but most manufacturers offer SSDs based on...

At nearly 10 times the price of a normal HDD, the ADATA S599 SSD is surely for early adopters. The performance benefits of SSD technology are currently more in access and seek times than in actual speed. However the ADATA S599 is lighter, noiseless and...

We can see from our tests that the Kingston SSDNow V100 and Patriot Torqx 2 128 GB solid state drives perform similarly on the whole, even though there were a few instances where one drive did have a clear performance superiority. In the sequential...

Starting with the build quality of the PNY XLR8 Pro we have a drive which uses one of the thickest and therefore most robust feeling cases around. It really does feel solid while maintaining a reasonably low weight. Inside we find a decent level of...

I really like the idea of mSATA solid state drives. While they have not really caught on that much on the desktop market now that M.2 is here, they have great applications in laptops and smaller form factor PCs like the Gigabyte BRIX that we recently...
