Today we are evaluating the newest version of CacheCade, a storage caching system developed by LSI for use with their MegaRAID controllers. This system aims to create the perfect fusion between HDD capacity and SSD speed, accelerating new or existing storage subsystems that are already in place. A previous CacheCade v1.0 review of the software illustrated some of the extreme performance gains that are to be had with the selective intelligent caching of data in storage subsystems.
Sometimes the stockpile of goodies gets a little too high… and we need to make room! This time around, C.O.D. will be giving away the StarTech InfoSAFE External Raid Enclosure: S354UFER.
Our review today examines the Kingston HyperX 240GB SATA 3 SSD. The HyperX is Kingstons first offering of a SATA 3 SSD and their first partnership with SandForce through use of their SF-2281 6Gbps processor, a processor which has taken the SSD community by storm. With full intention of their HyperX line being the absolute best, Kingston has included all the bells and whistles and taken their time in producing a very attractive total package. The performance lies at the heart of the beast, however, and performance would tell the tale of the tape.
