Visiontek GoDrive 60GB and Racer Series 120GB SSD Review

The Racer Series 120GB drive ships in a similar box to the GoDrive. A very attractive little box. Visiontek offer a 3 year warranty with the product.

The inner box pulls out into a gatefold presentation. This product ships with a 3.5 inch bay adapter and mounting screws. Visiontek include a little leaflet which details their ‘universal SSD installation kit'.

The Racer Series chassis is identical to the GoDrive, finished in a dark grey metallic paint. The product title and capacity is highlighted on the front. The drive measures 93mm (D) x 69 mm (W) x 101mm (H).

The Sandforce 2281 controller is on one side of the PCB – titled ‘SF-2281VB1-SDC'. No NAND memory is present on this side, reserved for 240GB and 480GB capacities. The other side is populated with high grade, expensive 24nm Toshiba Toggle MLC NAND flash memory. This Toshiba memory is a proven performer with both incompressible and compressible data.

This particular drive is rated at a maximum of 555 MB/s read and 520 MB/s write speeds.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.

  1. They dont sell anything in the UK? why not? unless im missing a store.

  2. Well they are fine, but why more SSD? there are hundreds of 2281 drives, im getting sick reading about them to be honest.

  3. The racer driver is impressive, but I can’t buy it here. Cant even see it on import anywhere.

    I think the names are pretty bad for these drives, GOdrive? that sounds like a kingston branded drive to me.

    still interesting to see other products I havent seen elsewhere.
