Here’s a video of how solid state drives are made.

I was sold on the name alone, but Benchmark Reviews likes the Patriot Torqx solid state drive for it’s fat cache and access time.

Tech Report examines performance degradation in solid state drives over time.

Tech Report compares six SSDs from Corsair, Intel, OCZ, Samsung, Super Talent, and Transcend.

Nice! Super Talent gets top honors for its UltraDive ME SSD.

Corsair’s P256 solid state drive uses all Samsung-parts for the company’s latest foray into the SSD game.

Tweak Town loves the new G.Skill Falcon SSD. Rightfully so.

The RunCore Pro IV MLC solid state drives use the new Indilinx controller but have limited availability.

OCZ is hoping to grow its market share in the server arena with the announcement of a revised Vertex solid state drive that packs up to 120GB of SLC NAND flash memory. The new Vertex EX-series drives will compete against Intel’s 64GB X-25E and SuperTalent’s MasterDrive RX-series drives, the former being the current volume leader in the market, and the later being the highest capacity SLC drives available in sizes up to 256GB.

SLC modules cost more than the MLC chips used predominantly in the SSD market, but they offer ten times the lifespan. For server environments where uptime is everything, it’s a critical factor.

MadShrimps compares RAM drives, solid state drives, and hard drives.

Tweak Town tests the Solidata X2-256 MLC SSD to see if it can best the Intel X25-M.
