5.  PCMark Vantage X64 We left the best for last with respect to testing and one will soon see why.  The SSD Review uses benchmark software called PCMark Vantage x64 HDD Suite to create testing scenarios that might be used in the typical user experience.  There are eight tests in all and the tests performed record the speed of data …

The SSD Review has been fortunate to experience an enormous increase in trafffic lately and we are looking for talent!!! Have you got an SSD thats not reviewed on The SSD Review? Have you ever considered doing a review yourself? Do you have something to say with respect to SSD technology? We are actively seeking people who can add to the site …

It almost seems fitting that we would be writing a review on Halloween about a USB Flash drive that is truly an SSD in disguise. We have been back and forth with Peter Carcione, Super Talents Director of Marketing, many times in the last while and quite frankly much of what they are doing is rather amazing. As much as we …

The USB 3.0 SuperCrypt flash drive is ready to use right out of the box but for best performance, Super Talent recommends download of their own driver. The user simply downloads and uncompresses the zip file, clicks on ‘Setup’ and then ‘Install’ and the new driver is installed. It gets a bit tricky from this point as we then go into Device Manager …

We knew right off that BitFenix had their work cut out for them being …

CHASSIS AND INSTALLATION …

At the end of the day, its entirely believable that the planning of this mid-tower gaming case wasn’t accomplished overnight because its simply the best we have seen yet and by a long shot. We really haven’t even scratched the surface on the smaller things that BetFenix has paid attention to such as a newly patented design called the BetFenix Lockdown …

Keep an eye on The SSD Review for the next bit as alot is going on right now!  Take a look at the picture below and you might notice the new pre-release BitFenix Survivor case which holds more SSDs than one can imagine.  We are also testing a pre-release version of what just may be the smallest SandForce SSD going, …
