USB 3.0 RAIDDrive Reaches 239MB/sec at Benchmark Reviews

The Super Talent USB-3.0 RAIDDrive performed at up to 239 MB/s read and 106 MB/s write speeds in our RAID-0 benchmark tests, which is far beyond the sub-30 MB/s speeds offered by the fastest USB-2.0 flash drives. In terms of appearance the RAIDDrive is elegant, but still big and elegant. The Super Talent RAIDDrive is well constructed, and is still a SSD at its core.

Pros:

+ Industry's First SuperSpeed USB-3.0 Flash Drive
+ Produced 239/106 MB/s Speeds with ST Optimized Drivers
+ Up to 128GB of Portable Flash Storage Capacity
+ Fully Backwards Compatible with USB-2.0
+ Hot Plug-n-Play Functionality

Super Talent DDR3 Kit Named "Best Value for Non-Overclockers" by Toms Hardware

The only product in today’s comparison to use extruded (rather than pressed) aluminum heat spreaders, Super Talent is also the only company to add the minor expense of chrome plating its parts to add visual appeal in windowed cases.
With the exception of Patriot’s Sector 5 that defaulted to DDR3-1066, the other four module sets all defaulted to the same DDR3-1333 CAS 9 speed and timings. Among those four module sets, non-overclockers will find that price is the biggest value determiner.

Overclockers Recommends STT DDR3-1600 Kit for Budget PCs

At around $40, this RAMoffers a HUGE value for light to moderate P55 overclocking. They did far better than stock settings, and I would absolutely recommend this kit to anyone wanting to go P55 on a budget.

Toms Hardware PCIe SSD Showdown: RAIDDrive vs Fusion IO

Overall results are impressive. Our sample reached sustained, sequential read performance of 721 to 892 MB/s. The 721 MB/s minimum, in particular, is much more than any Fusion-io product can provide, and none of Fusion-io’s products are currently available at 1TB or higher. Meanwhile, Super Talent hits these high capacities. Write performance is similarly impressive at around 500 MB/s, but some of Fusion-io’s ioDrives can be quicker here. More importantly, though, the RAIDDrive is bootable, while Fusion-io products currently are not. Driver support is available for virtually all relevant operating systems.

The I/O rates of our MLC-powered RAIDDrive are significant, to say the least. The RAIDDrive constantly beats the ioXtreme, as long as the latter is configured to offer its maximum capacity. If the ioXtreme is set to improved or maximum write performance, it will deliver higher maximum I/Os, but it will fall to levels below the RAIDDrive in scenarios with varying workloads.
