SSD drives are starting to come in bigger sizes these days but they are still not available in terabytes and when they will be they will cost a fortune. Therefore SATA hard drives are still better when it comes to storage, Geeks.com sent us one of their Hitachi 1 TB "3.5 Internal SATA hard drives for a test.

Patriot TorqX 64GB SSD

SSD drives are getting more and more mainstream all the time, and they have actually released info that they should drop in price soon and replace the older IDE and SATA drives. The question is though; have all the issues with write speeds been fixed then? We are going to benchmark the Torqx 64GB from Patriot today to see if we can see some speed improvements compared vs a Gskill SSD we got awhile back.

G.SKILL FM-25S2S-64GB SSD Drive Review

Posted on: 1/3/2009 4:40:13 AM
SSD drives are slowly making it on to the market but the prices still scare alot of people of. The SSD drive does not have any movable parts which makes it completely silent and also more well performing than our current harddrives. Price and small drives are still the main issue but I have seen over 200GB drives hitting the market already although today we are taking a look at a 64GB SATA 2 drive from Gskill. This drive retails for around 500$USD which is a tad to expensive for most people. How do these drives perform and how much faster are they really compared to normal harddrives?

Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 IDE and SATA

Posted on: 3/24/2008 12:00:00 AM
It's harddrive review time here at rbmods tonite. We have some sweet drives from Seagate called Barracuda 7200.7. Also we have one IDE and one SATA; both which are on 160 gig that will be compared to each other. And we also have an older 20 gig drive to show the difference in older and newer drives. We have some sweet benchmarking ahead with Sisoft Sandra, Pcmark, Hdtach etc etc so stay tuned so you can see how fast the SATA drives really are :)
