Well it seems that Week 2 of our Grand Birthday SSD Giveaway Celebration may be as big as the first…and then some. This week, TSSDR has teamed up with Corsair to draw, not one but, two newly released Corsair Neutron 240GB SSDs as part of our SSD Giveaway event and it gets even better as one is the GTX release!  …

QLogic, known for their enterprise storage infrastructure solutions, has announced the release of their Mt. Rainier SSD caching technology. Mt. Rainier is a targeted solution meant to accelerate SAN performance while at the same time simplifying deployment of SSD caching in servers. Interestingly, the caching solution will not only be transparent to server side applications, but to the OS as …

OWC has today announced  a little something that the SSD industry seems to have overlooked, but had to find its way to the surface eventually. This is a PCIe Controller Card that accommodates mSATA SSDs and it has been aptly named the OWC Mercury AccelsiorM PCIe Controller Card.  Given its ability, I am sure we will be seeing one of …

On our table today we have the Silicon Power Velox V70 SATA 3 SSD where SP is another to combine the power of the LSI SandForce SF-2281 Flash Storage Processor (FSP) with Intel synchronous MLC memory.

Has there even been a draw for a 512GB SSD prior?  We are …

The popularity of mSATA SSDs is probably one of the more unexpected SSD trends to show its face and, even today, e-tailers just can’t seem to keep mSATA SSDs in stock. With consumers now wanting the performance best in their mSATA capable laptops, ultras hitting the market, as well as a few motherboards now being shipped with integrated mSATA ports, …

A few weeks back, Crucial sent us one of their new V4 SSDs to check out and, much to our surprise, we discover that it is an SSD based on a Phison controller and it is SATA 2. To new SSD users, this may not seem like much but we were a bit surprised as Crucial/Micron and Marvell seem to …
