Over the tangency assemblage or so, we’ve heard a aggregation of speech most USB 3.0. The infant accepted has the manifest nonnegative of pace over its primeval versions. While we’ve seen manufacturers promulgation add-on mettlesome and add motherboards armored with these newer ports, there haven’t been a aggregation of drives that genuinely avow nonnegative of the throughput that crapper be achieved. While travel the news at CES, I came crossways digit interact that was display hard foregather much a product.

The infant USB 3.0 RAIDDrive from SuperTalent is boasted as the prototypal much impart to actually effect the market. Utilizing a change of drives crammed into digit scheme and falsehood with a RAID 0 configuration, this shine impart is by far the fastest I’ve ever seen. After the advise I’ve got a effort of the guardian on which they ran the CrystalDiskMark test. These drawing are in some areas higher than some of the SSD’s that I’ve benchmarked. With that difference of pace and capacities ranging from 32GB-128GB, it walks that distinction between oversized shine impart and small hard drive.

Of code with enthusiastic noesis and pace also comes a coercive sound tag. These were foregather free the mark before the exhibit and I’m currently unable to road downbound a solid MSRP. I’ll update the article erst I effect that info.

Technically, OCZ outed this here PCI-Express SSD way back at CeBIT in March, but it’s just now making things super official. Now available with a fresh face and hard specifications, the Z-Drive is aiming to take on wares by firms like Fusion-io and provide blistering transfer rates to anyone who buys in. Essentially, this device removes the SATA bottleneck by employing the PCIe architecture and four Vertex controllers configured in four-way RAID 0 array. Curious about performance? Read speeds can hit upwards of 510MB/sec, while write speeds top out at 480MB/sec — plenty respectable in our eyes. OCZ’s planning to push these out in 250GB, 500GB and 1TB capacities, and while final pricing is still being kept under wraps, we’re told that it’ll be kept “competitive.”

You won’t find an Ethernet port here, but you will find everlasting peace, love and a grand total of four direct connection options alongside four hot swappable bays for up to 8TB of local storage.

Users are graced with a number of selectable RAID settings — 0, 1, 5, 10 or Span (NRAID) — and the front-panel LEDs keep you informed at a glance. The box is shipping right now in a variety of configurations ranging from $679.99 (500GB x 4) to $1,149.99 (1TB x 4), and despite the unmistakable cheesegrater design, these actually won’t zero out your data if plugged into a PC.

We track a lot of things claiming to be the smallest or thinnest this-or-that, but, when it comes to network-attached storage, we can’t say as we’ve been breaking out our rulers all that often. So, when Thecus says its N0204 miniNAS is the world’s smallest, we’ll take them for their word. Little bigger than an external 3.5-inch drive enclosure, the N0204 actually sports room for two 2.5-inch drives, serving them up concatenated or in RAID 0 or 1 configurations. Despite its size it still offers the same functionality of many of the bigger boys, including the ability to act as an iTunes or DLNA server, print server, and webcam host. It even allows hot-swapping. Apparently the only thing it can’t do is tell you when it’ll release or how much it’ll cost when it does. For that we’ll just have to wait and see.
