  1. Slightly disappointing as the result show. never heard of the company either.

  2. Fair review. I have to admit ive been looking outside the ‘sandforce’ masses of drives currently available as I would prefer to get good performance with both forms of data, rather than just compressible. Samsung new series of drives appeals to me.

  3. Also available at http://www.futurestorage.co.uk – Mach Xtreme are a great company to deal with and is great to see European companies producing drives in these tough financial days.
