电脑之家:No.1: Faster Stick 快速棒,高性价比的电脑升级设备推

日期:2014-07-03 / 人气: / 来源:电脑之家

这是一款由香港Info Tech公司推出的,不需要拆机器就能通过智能缓存提升电脑I/O性能的硬件设备。通过用新的快取材料与驱动,快速棒基本实现了当年迅盘最终未能实现的目的。

曾几何时,英特尔公司的迅盘也曾红极一时,但由于必须预先由生产方内置特殊接口,因此当惠普与戴尔这两大当时占据90%市场份额的计算机制造商抵制时其发展受到了严重的制约。随后当英特尔发现该业务本身使得用户对更高端英特尔需求减弱时便顺水推舟减少了项目推广力度。

快速棒采用了通用型USB接口,并能够向下兼容。USB3的最低设计标准是5.6G每秒,USB2是480M每秒,而一般机械硬盘速度也就是计算机速度的实际瓶颈只有10-20M每秒。如果硬件本身的速度非常快,是可以发挥接口速度的上限的。(过去的经验中,速度的短板往往是设备本身,而不是接口,在过去绝大多数USB设备仅仅是存储目的的,因此采用普通TLC闪存造成速度低下。但快速棒采用的是DRAM缓存的外接类固态硬盘的快闪阵列而非普通闪存,其速度可以发挥到接口速度上限。)

当然,快速棒并非为了替代内存设计的,其功能是快取缓存,用于在绝大多数情况下替代硬盘进行读写,比如原来Photoshop在打开或者运行的时候执行程序文件的速度是10-20M每秒,现在就可以在理论上达到最大USB速度上线,USB3的最低设计标准是5.6G每秒,USB2是480M每秒,平均即使在USB2的机器上也有3-10倍的加速。

在过去,电脑升级只有DIY市场,操作难度大,并主要依靠安装固态硬盘。而绝大部分旧式计算机,2010年之前的,根本不支持固态硬盘而无法使用。快速棒因此及时提供了一个成本更低,操作更简单,兼容更广的旧电脑升级方案。

Cost to Own Awards: Best High Performance PC Upgrade Tool

This month, we weigh the pros and cons of the most affordable Info Tech Faster Stick.

A test has been made by the editor on an old desktop (PC 1). Windows takes about 20 seconds form start up and I also installed Watch Dogs onto it too see what it was like and the game loads up from main menu to hitting continue in about 5 seconds (standard load time on normal HDD/console takes about 15-20 seconds)

The editor did a test with another computer (PC 2), which has the same CPU, a better gpu, also a better motherboard. Both machines have 12GB DDR3 memory 1066mhz, both using Windows 8.1.

The editor’s machine (PC 1) is running with the Faster Stick. The test involved: PC 2 had a fully powered on machine and PC 1 was fully turned off, PC 2 was to open Photoshop CS6 and PC 1 was to boot on and open Photoshop CS6 when turned on. PC 1 managed to boot, type photoshop and it open a good 2 seconds before PC 2 actually opened.

Conclusion: Best price to performance item. No other words to describe this product but brilliant.
