An Inside Look at Intel and Micron 25nm Flash Memory ProductionStorage - Feb 01, 2010 | 11:00 AM Our storage guru took a stroll through a state of the art flash memory plant in Lehi, Utah. This plant, dubbed 'IM Flash Technologies', is jointly run by both Intel and Micron. Together they have announced the smallest production transistor process on the planet, and are now in volume production of this new 25nm flash memory. Allyn came back with some sweet pics, so check it out already! 
SSD Decoder Ring - an SSD comparison guideStorage - Jan 29, 2010 | 12:00 AM ** Updated 27 JAN 10 ** Tired of bouncing back and forth between review sites, manufacturer sites, and retailers in search of your next SSD? Allyn has compiled a huge list of all current and popular SSD's, grouped by controller type, manufacturer, and model. 
OCZ Vertex 2 Pro SSD Review - The Sandforce ComethStorage - Jan 14, 2010 | 12:00 AM Allyn came back from CES with a pre-release Vertex 2 Pro from OCZ. This new drive comes equipped with a previously unknown Sandforce controller, which gave us some shocking results, especially in the areas of IOPS scaling and fragmentation-over-time. Check out his detailed review for the full scoop.

Tech ARP stumbled upon a nice trick at Techware Labs and improved it. The initial mod involved taking a 1.5TB Barracuda and changing the LBA table to make the drive think it is only 300GB, which made it about 30% faster that a Velocirapter in their testing. TechARP simply repartitioned the drive into a 300GB and a 1.2TB partition. The 300GB portion achieved the speed increase and using a partition means that you don't loose out on the storage space you paid for in the first place.
"That's a really catchy title, isn't it? Who wouldn't want to turn a "slow" 7,200 RPM hard disk drive into a super-fast 10,000 RPM Western Digital VelociRaptor? After all, the 300 GB model of the much- vaunted HDD speed king retails for US$ 199.99, while a 1.5 TB Barracuda 7200.11 only costs US$ 109.99. Imagine getting the performance of the VelociRaptor with the capacity and price of the Seagate Barracuda! The guys at TechwareLabs came up with an apparently nifty way to "transform" the 1.5 TB Barracuda 7200.11 hard disk drive into a VelociRaptor-killer. But before you go rushing out to grab yourself a 1.5 TB Barracuda 7200.11 hard disk drive, please note that their mod basically involves crippling the Barracuda..."

SSDs are quickly maturing now that they have hit the market; one of the latest companies to put out a second revision of their drive is Kingston with their SSDNow V+ Series (Rev 2.0) 128GB drive. They utilize different flash memory inside but the big difference is a new controller, which changes the rated as well as observed speeds. Once Futurelooks finished their testing of the new Kingston drive it proved to be noticeably faster than its predecessor but still not up to the standards of Intel or the new Sandforce controller. Still a very decent upgrade for those who feel too cramped by a 64GB drive.
"It's only taken a couple years for the SSD (Solid State Drive) talk to die down. Or, has it? A lot
of folks weren’t sure about the technology when it first launched. But as more Controllers and
different flavors of NAND are thrown in to the mix, performance and pricing are starting to convince
us. It would appear that MLC isn’t as useless or as bad as originally thought."

Just a quick note to let our readers know that snazzy Asus $30 combination USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gb/sec card you've heard us go on about in our podcasts is now available at Newegg!
Finally!
We were beginning to fear these things would not see the light of day. I've never been happier to be proven wrong!

Intel and Micron had planned on a Monday morning release, but a leak resulted in the cat being out of the bag so here's a tidbit for those curious. Intel and Micron will be announcing a die shrink of their flash memory. What used to be so-called '2x nm' flash as a future stepping stone is now officially 25nm. This puts Intel and Micron significantly ahead of the competition in terms of die shrink and capacity.
A new 25nm die. Live and in the flesh. Capacity is 64Gbit or 8 Gigabytes (!) per die. This is not just a press release with pretty die shots. A handfull of reviewers and analysts were recently invited out to Lehi, Utah for a tour of the IM Flash Technologies facility, where we were briefed on the new product and oversaw volume production of this flash taking place.
I did my best to make off with a 300mm wafer full of over 2TB of 25nm
flash goodness, but was tackled by Troy Winslow of Intel :) I'm working on a full article covering my fab tour experience and detailing what this new 25nm technology means to you. That piece is set to go live on Monday morning (in parallel with the official Intel / Micron official press release). *Much* more to follow then.

The OCZ Agility 60GB tries to straddle two worlds of SSDs. At $200 for 60GB it is rather inexpensive and thanks to the use of the Indilinx controller it is not crippled for speed or features. When Neoseeker ran it through their battery of tests they found that while the drive did not live up to the advertising it came close and the difference between it and a platter based drive were marked. Drop by if you can't quite afford Intel's offerings, but still want an SSD that flies.
****Update**** Mail in rebates aren't our favourite here at PC Perspective, but knocking another $30 off to make the drive $170 is impressive! "With the Agility, OCZ has the most affordable SSD built around the Indilinx controller, which nets you the all important TRIM command under Windows 7, and the currently available $30 mail-in-rebate only sweetens the deal."

Call it SATA 3.0, or you could call it SATA 6Gbs if you want, but what you will be referring to is the newest SATA interface, faster than the previous though not quite 6Gbs. The newest drive to take advantage of this update is the 2TB Seagate Barracuda XT. Its size does make it fairly expensive compared to most platter based drives but it still sits in a lower price bracket than most SSDs. hardCOREware ran this huge drive through a battery of tests with the help of a Gigabyte motherboard with a Marvell SE9128
controller to be able to utilize SATA 3.0. This comes at a cost, the extra bandwidth needed for the SATA bus comes from your second PCIe slot, so no dual graphics with SATA 3.0 if you use Gigabyte's board. ASUS uses a different solution, but it will cost you more pocket change.
"Check out our full review to find out of the XT really benefits from SATA 3.0 connectivity, and how it performs on standard 3 Gbps SATA 2.0 in comparison. We also put it up against the drive it has supplanted as Seagate’s top-end desktop drive: The 1 TB Barracuda 7200.12. They are more similar than you would expect, so it makes for an interesting review." Here are some more Storage reviews from around the web:

Sure Allyn has proved that the new OCZ Sandforce controller is so fast it may have obsoleted standard SAS/SATA RAID cards, but the RAID does have an advantage. Those last 2 letters do stand for Inexpensive Disks, something that SSDs are most certainly not. The LSI MegaRAID SATA and SAS 9260-8i RAID Card will set you back about $500, so that might weaken the financial argument a bit. Legit Reviews has just published a review of this card which supports SATA 6G and is powered by a PowerPC RAID-on-Chip controller, 512mb of DDR2 cache, and slips into a PCIe 2.0 x8 slot. All this means that there is enough bandwidth that even multiple SSDs should benefit from the controller, as long as they are on the slower end of the drives on the SSD Decoder.
"Besides the small file random read/write the LSI 9260-8i surpassed the Adaptec 5805 in nearly all the SSD tests while the two cards were roughly equal in the HDD tests. What really helps the LSI 9260-8i is the SAS/SATA 6Gbps support enabling maximum performance on upcoming storage drives. This will be quite important with SATA 6Gbps SSDs easily pushing 500MB/s in sequential reads. It is a close call between the two cards but consideration must also be taken regarding firmware maturity. The Adaptec 5805 has been on the market for a while but the LSI 9260-8i is still relatively immature. There is a possibility that the small file random read/write performance could be bolstered, making the Adaptec 5805 effectively obsolete..." Here are some more Storage reviews from around the web:

While manufacturers incorporating Samsung SSD controllers have recently pushed out TRIM enabled firmware (OCZ / Corsair), those with Samsung branded units have been patiently waiting. We imagine that was a bunch of folks, as Samsung is a major supplier to OEM's like Apple and Dell. It appears Samsung has just recently pushed out their own firmware updater. It appeared at their SSD site:
New firmware link red circled above. This new 'DSRD 1.2.0' tool breaks from the normal routine of reverting your system back to IDE or 'compatible' SATA mode. Their guidespecifically calls for enabling AHCI mode. Before you go running to update, you should realize this firmware tool *will* wipe the contents of your drive, so image it beforehand or be prepared to do that clean Windows 7 install you may have been holding out on. We did some quick testing with this tool and found it to recognize a Corsair P64 as well as an OCZ Summit 120GB. The tool focuses on the firmware revision present as opposed to the model name reported to the system. The tool updates firmwares VBM18C1Q or VBM1801Q to the new VBM19C1Q or VBM1901Q. Most Samsung and Corsair P series drives have the current firmware noted on the drive label for easy reference.

It might look like a plastic lighter, but there is no butane inside, only a full charge of 60GB of storage. At $60, the XIGMATEK Lighter offers you 60GB of portable storage in a USB 2.0 lighter sized package. As you probably have guessed from the price, this is not a flash drive, there is a rather small platter housed inside the drive; something you should keep in mind if when you are carrying the drive around. Tweaknews wasn't overwhelmed with the speed, but it is the price point and storage density that really make the Lighter interesting.
Well, that and the confused looks of your smoker friends trying to light their cigarette with your USB drive. "With so many portable hard drives currently on the market, competition is fierce and consumers are always on the lookout for the best bang for the buck. The Xigmatek Lighter is a stylish, low cost option that easily stands out. Not only does it look like an actual lighter, it's not much larger than one and provides an impressive 60GB of storage that fits in your pocket."

Taipei, Taiwan, January 6, 2010 - VIA Technologies, Inc., a leading innovator of power efficient x86 processor platforms, today launched the VIA VL700 USB 3.0-SATA Controller, a highly integrated single chip solution that allows users to connect SATA hard disk drive (HDD), solid state drive (SSD), and optical disc drive (ODD) devices to their PC via new USB 3.0 specification ports. With data transfer rates of up to 5Gbps, USB 3.0 (also known as SuperSpeed USB) offers ten times the throughput available to USB 2.0 based devices, meaning large amounts of information stored on a SATA device can be effortlessly transferred to a PC in a fraction of the time it would usually take. Developed by wholly owned subsidiary company VIA Labs, the VIA VL700 supports both SATA 3Gbps and 1.5Gbps data transfer rates and also Native Command Queuing (NCQ), which allows HDDs/SSDs to internally optimize the order in which received read and write commands are executed, thereby increasing performance. Additionally, data transfer to and from SATA-based DVD and Blu-ray Disc players is supported. "As the storage capacity of hard drives increases, the need for better data transfer technology arises," said Richard Brown, Vice President of Marketing, VIA Technologies, Inc. "SuperSpeed USB offers a big leap forward in transfer speeds and the VIA VL700 gives PC users a way to apply this performance advantage to their existing SATA storage devices."

The biggest news in storage this week is not a review and it is possible that many never heard of it because of how quietly the launch took place. The news is that Intel now has a 40GB SSD and it is for sale, at a price of $129!
You might feel a little cramped with only 40GB, your OS install along with a few favourite programs will come close to filling it, you won't be able to store a dozen of your favourite games on it. However you will benefit from the incredible boot times you get from an SSD and whichever programs make the cut will load at a speed you just can't get any other way. For $130, you can try out what everyone is talking about, nowhere near as step an initial investment as with the 80GB or 160GB versions! Here are some more Storage reviews from around the web:

PCPer has gone quite a while without delving into optical storage, and it's high time we start taking a crack at it. We'll kick it off with Plextor's announcement at CES - SSD's!. Plextor will be producing drives based on the Marvell chipset. While we haven't seen production models of this new controller in our lab as of yet, we should have something cooking shortly. The new Plextor units are expected to start shipping in this quarter (Q1 2010) in capacities of 64 and 128GB.
Also announced are a new line of external CD/DVD writers that sport USB 2.0 as well as eSATA connectability. The newest model should perform similarly to their existing 24X burner, but with the added eSATA port at the rear. This should help get users by until USB 3.0 gains further adoption.
We expect the PX-880UE to look identical to the existing PX-880U.
CES 2010: Plextor Launches SSDs and New 24x External Writer with eSATA Dual Interface
Plextor’s first line of solid-state drives and the new PX-880UE external eSATA writer announced at CES (Las Vegas, NV Mirage Suite – January 6, 2010) – Plextor LLC (www.plextor.com), a leading developer and manufacturer of high-performance digital media equipment, announces its first line of solid-state drives (SSDs), as well as the new PX-880UE 24X external eSATA writer, at CES. Plextor will be located in the Philips & Lite-On Digital Solutions (PLDS) suite in the Mirage. Plextor introduces its first generation of SSDs, using non-volatile NAND Flash memory as the storage medium. The new SSDs, which utilize Marvell controller chipsets, deliver faster speeds for system boot-up, application launch and file transfer, lower power consumption and longer battery life, among other benefits. They will be available as 64GB or 128GB in the first quarter of 2010. Equipped with Plextor’s unique Wear Leveling algorithm, Plextor SSDs can prevent degradation of drive performance and prolong product life. Based on PCMark and SYSMark benchmark tests, Plextor SSDs were the only drive that maintained the same level of performance regardless of whether or not the drives were clean or dirty. “Plextor has a lot of new items in the works, and we’re excited to announce our first line of SSDs to meet consumers’ demand for low power consumption, enhanced performance and reliability,” said Christine Hsing, Marketing Manager at PLDS. “The new eSATA drive is a great move forward for us as well – it further expands consumers’ options by providing both a SATA and a USB 2.0 connection.” The new PX-880UE is a 24X external DVD/CD writer which offers both an eSATA and USB 2.0 dual connection for faster speed, performance and versatility.

The 64GB Crucial M225 Solid-State Driveis up for review at R&B Mods. At $214 it really won't break the bank compared to some SSDs, especially considering that they are using the Indilinx Barefoot controller. That should put them up near the top of the performance heap as only the Intel controller tends to beat out the Barefoot. It is also nice to see that the latest firmware supports TRIM, helping keep the performance of a well used drive similar to the performance of a fresh drive. Take a look at their review here.
"Today we are taking a look at a SSD drive from Crucial. We are going to test this drive out in both in normal daily usage and also in some benchmarks to really see what type of performance we can expect from it." Here are some more Storage reviews from around the web:

Almost a month ago Allyn took a look at the prototype Marvell 6G controller and discovered that even with the early engineering sample, read speeds was just under an amazing 300MB/s. At the time of our article, products were not yet ready to use this new controller - until now!
Today Crucial is announcing the RealSSD C300 with 6Gbps controller support using a proprietary Marvell controller and Micron SSDs. Data shown to Daily Tech shows the drive is capable of reaching 355 MB/s (15% faster than the prototype we tested) on reads, and a sequential write speed of 215 MB/s. 128GB and 256GB flavours will be shipping to vendors end of January and should be available to consumers early February. There is no word on pricing, but it's my guess that this kind of speed won't come cheap initially. 
"The
RealSSD C300 will be available in 128 and 256GB capacities, and will
be packaged in the standard 2.5-inch form factor. A
five-year limited warranty will be standard. Crucial is also
considering bundling the drive with cloning software for those who
wish to transfer their files and settings, and a desktop bundle may
include a mounting bracket."
