In June 2007, Seagate Company has released new 7200.11 drive together with Barracuda ES.2. As usually, new drives were not available on our market straight-off, only on the 26.9.2007 first arrival came, and I got few of 500 GB pieces. In today's review I would like to share my opinion on new tested drives. Differences between IDE mode and AHCI mode were tested. I was also curious what ICH8R and Intel(r) Matrix Storage Technology are able to do with RAID setup.

I had an opportunity to test an internal aluminum drive module from Taiwanese firm STARDOM, specifically model ST1000-2-S2C which happens to be 2 in1 model since it is capable of supporting 3,5"SATA I/II HDD and 2,5" SATA or PATA (IDE) HDD at the same time. If you are interested in knowing how the manufacturer managed to accomplish this and the results of the test, please continue reading.

The 28th of February 2007, Corsair Memory Company released family of USB Drives named Flash Voyager GT, designed and built for speed. The Flash Voyager GT is ideal for users requiring highest quality. The Corsair Flash Voyager should optimize transfer rates of both reads 34MB/s and writes 28MB/s. We were trying to find out, if it is really like that, and how Flash Voyager stood the test against the last speed winner Kingston DataTraveler II Plus Migo and against PQI U339 Pro. In today's test you can find the results.

In today's review I will introduce an external aluminum combo-case from a German firm RaidSonic, specifically the model ICY BOX IB-351StUS for 3,5" SATA HDD with an integrated USB 2.0 and SATA.
