The OWC DIY Kit is compatible with the latest Mid-2012 non-Retina Macbook Pros and helps us install an additional disk drive by replacing the Apple SuperDrive. The kit also incorporates a high-performance SSD from the same manufacturer (SandForce powered) and for $39.99 extra we can also have the Super Slim USB 2.0 Enclosure for the removed SuperDrive.
Heute läuft Intels SSD 520 Serie (Codename: Cherryville) vom Stapel und dabei setzt Intel erstmals auf einen Controller des Herstellers SandForce. Genauer gesagt handelt es sich um den im Februar 2011 vorgestellten SandForce SF-2281. Und da stellt sich die Frage, ob Intels 520er-Serie nicht schon etwas zu spät kommt.
For users on the go, ADATA has created a new multifunctional device which acts as a wireless AP, USB storage drive or card reader and as an extra it also functions as a power bank, to recharge the tablet/mobile phone when we need it most.
When we reviewed the Plextor M3 256GB SSD earlier this year our verdict was pretty positive. That model is based on the Marvell 88SS9174 controller combined with 24nm Toshiba ToggleFlash NAND chips. Its performance was excellent, the warranty impressive (five-year factory warranty) but the price was a bit steep in our opinion.
A lot has happened in the world of SSDs in the few months that have passed since then. We've witnessed the arrival of new models such as the OCZ Vertex 4, but also the beginning of a price war. Many popular SSDs such as Crucial's m4 and Intel's new SSD 330 series are in the meantime available for significantly less than £1 per GB.
Plextor has yet to join the price race to the bottom, and instead says it prefers investing in performance and quality. For a short while now the M3 Pro has been available in the M3 series, and its specifications indicate improved performance. Hardware.Info tested the 256 GB model.

Kingston recently announced the DataTraveler HyperX Predator 3.0 USB Flash drive. This drive is available in 512GB and 1TB capacities and is fast, with speeds of up to 240MB/s read and 160MB/s write. We managed to get our hands on the Kingston DataTraveler HyperX Predator 512GB drive and put it to the test to see how it performs!
Judging by sales numbers around the globe it seems that NAS servers have finally managed to replace full computer systems in some areas due to their size, low power consumption and easy to use menus and functions. This of course applies mostly to large enterprise environments where several such devices get used and thus the benefits from the mentioned features are even greater. Small business and home users also turn towards NAS servers to cover their needs (mostly for office use) but to my knowledge at least not many people actually choose to use NAS servers purely for their media sharing capabilities and the ones that do never really place them inside their bedrooms to avoid getting disturbed by their noise levels (even just 20dBA is quite audible at night). QNAP is the first NAS manufacturer to address that issue by releasing the first dual bay model of the SilentNAS series called the HS-210.

How do the many solid state drives in the market stack up? We ran some
benchmarks, and here are the results...
I don't know how many times I've needed to back up my hard drive for a reinstall of my OS and been left wanting because I didn't have any place to put all my pictures and data. I've had to rewrite several articles and reviews do to exactly such a scenario. It's a sad fact, but if you store your most valuable data on your main HDD, there's a good chance you'll lose it. My only problem with external HDD space is that even with USB 2.0, it's still slow as Hell when it comes to large file transfers. Ever had to move 50 Gig of video files over a USB connection? It's like dial-up, man. But Verbatim has stepped up to the plate and served a little more than a homerun. Try four of them.
