Apple has unveiled a new revision of the MacBook Air that is sure to fuel the fires in the ongoing Ultra wars. Just when PC manufacturers are all climbing aboard the SSD caching train for both performance and capacity,  Apple introduces a new MacAir that contains not only a 512GB SSD, but also, a Toshiba branded ‘LSI SandForce Driven’ one …

An internal security audit by LSI discovered that the world famous SandForce 256-bit AES encryption of LSI Flash Storage Processors (FSP) has never been, and is not presently enabled in SandForce SSDs, as stated by LSI SandForce representatives today. Fret not, however, as 128-bit encryption is still in place and, unique to SandForce, the SandForce SSDs are the only ones …

As a follow up to our initial Computex release detailing SanDisk’s new enterprise PCIe Solid State Accelerator, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to have a sit down with C.T. Chu, SanDisk Sr. Product Marketing Manager, for a more in depth look at SanDisk Lightning. Imagine our surprise when C.T. pulled out the Lightning for a closer look and discussion …

Memoright consistently reigns as the most complete display for SSD technology at Computex and, if their products this year are any indication of things to come, MemoRight will be pushing the bar that much further once again. From a PCIe with their own controller, to the worlds thinnest 2.5″ form factor ssd, and then quadrupling the life of present NAND …

Our visit with LSI SandForce in the Grand Hyatt Taipei during Computex 2012 resulted in what we believe to be the worlds first viewing of 19/20nm NAND flash memory at work with LSI SandForce SF-2281 processors. Utilizing SATA 3 SSD samples containing both Toshiba 19nm Toggle Mode NAND and Intel 20nm synchronous NAND flash memory, LSI SandForce was anxious to …

Silicon Power did more than upgrade their SSDs with an attractive exterior at Computex 2012 this morning.  Two new SSDs, the Velox V60 and T10 will be replacing the V30 and V20 lines and the T10 is a bit interesting with respect to capacity. The V60, of course, contains the LSI SandForce SF-2281 controller and is capable of performance of …

Today we will be reviewing the Monster Digital 400GB Le Mans SSD. This SSD brings with it a hefty amount of overprovisioning with Toshiba Toggle NAND and an SF-2281 under the hood. Monster certainly isn’t the first name that pops into mind when one thinks of SSDs. Branching out into the new market of high performance SSDs is breaking new …

LSI has put together a little something for the Cisco servers of the world. Leveraging EMC VFCache caching software and LSI’s Nytro WarpDrive PCIe solutions, LSI intends to extend PCIe SSD caching to EMC’s storage systems attached to Cisco’s Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers. The goal is to reduce latency and service times in storage transactions coming from EMC’s storage …

Just over a month ago, we conducted an analysis of what we thought to be the Comay Venus Pro 3 and, only after the review, were informed that we were actually looking at the Venus 3, an SSD that was not only branded incorrectly, but was also a special configuration for a specific customer.  It appears our orders were mixed …

LSI Corporation is announcing its new DataBolt technology for bandwidth optimization in datacenter applications.  This unique performance acceleration feature for LSI’s 12 GB/s SAS products is designed to allow users to take advantage of 12 GB/s speeds with their existing 6 GB/s drive infrastructure. This technology will deliver up to a 2X increase in throughput performance  for 6 GB/s systems.  It …
