NL: Review Block - SSD Storage Systems

Published: | Posted By:

PCI Express SSD drives are a convenient way to bypass the limitations of a SATA controller, however until now they have been cost prohibitive to most people with human sized pools of money.

Here are a couple reviews related to the new SSD "card" from OCZ
- OCZ RevoDrive 120GB PCI-Express SSD Review @ Legit Reviews
- OCZ Revo 120GB PCI Express SSD Performance Preview @ Techgage

For those looking for something more traditional there are several options including a C300 drive from Crucial.
- Corsair Force 120GB Solid State Drive Review @ Hardware Canucks
- OCZ Vertex 2 Extended SSD Review @ TweakPC
- G.Skill Phoenix Pro 120 SSD Review @ TweakPC  (these are "de" so be sure to click the US flag in the corner)
- OCZ Agility 2 SandForce-based 60GB Solid State Drive @ Pro-Clockers
- Crucial C300 256GB SSD Review @ KitGuru

For something even stranger check out the Silverstone HDDBoost designed to speed up rotational drives with an SSD backer.

On a side, and somewhat unrelated note, I have finally filled up my 1TB network storage array.  The array has been comprised of 3x 500GB Seagate drives in a RAID 5 and up until now has been my main storage platform.  I guess it might be time to replace those 500GB drives with their 1TB counterparts and expand the logical drive.

Try doing that with SSD!
