Most of you have probably seen the commercials from Microsoft touting the cloud experience behind Windows 7 and Windows Live. The thing is... many of us that have Windows 7 don't really know how to do some of the things they show in those commercials. In this multi-part series, we will attempt to demystify the "cloud" and show you how to make it happen.

Last week we showed you the new Kingston SSDNow V+100 that uses a new Toshiba controller and offers good mainstream performance, but the current price is quite a bit higher than what we wanted to see. Today we're looking at the new Kingston SSDNow V100 with a Toshiba labeled controller designed in cooperation with JMicron. The V100 is Kingston's new budget series that is designed to meet the needs of mainstream users.

Kingwin has been effective in creating a product that allows access to data in a quick, easy, and inexpensive way. The USI-2535U3 USB 3.0 to SATA adapter is versatile enough to use with any SATA drive and small enough to carry anywhere. The USB 3.0 interface ensures fast file transfers, and backward compatibility with USB 2.0 make this a truly adaptable tool for computer users of all skill levels.

Since this reviewer started testing components there has been little change in the way we connect external storage devices. USB, primarily 2.0 has been the main connection method with some manufacturers dabbling with eSATA, Firewire and even LAN connectors with varying success. Finally though it looks like we will be moving on from the 30MB/s cap of USB 2.0 as pretty much every device from low cost net tops to high end motherboards now come through our labs with USB 3.0 connectivity.

The best part of reviewing SSDs is the ever changing atmosphere and pace at which things progress. As a reviewer, one never knows what to expect until a SSD is in our hands and that certainly is the case with the Crucial M4 SATA 3 solid state drive. We were a bit surprised to learn that Crucials new consumer version SSD has now taken the branding of M4 vice following that of the C300 line of their former release.

Once again, we are quite pleased with the overall performance of a Seagate GoFlex product. Seagate is clearly hoping the GoFlex for Mac will fill one of the only real voids left in the GoFlex lineup, and at the same time provide a product targeted directly at Mac users. While their other products do work with OS X out of the box, the others are not optimized for the Mac platform.

Notebook schneller machen leicht gemacht. Wer ein Notebook oder Netbook besitzt und mit der Geschwindigkeit unzufrieden ist, kann die Notebook Performance schnell und relativ preiswert signifikant steigern. Viele denken beim Notebook Upgrade sofort an eine Speicheraufrüstung, an eine neue CPU oder an eine Übertaktung der CPU. Einen enormen Performancezuwachs bringt aber auch die Installation einer schnellen SSD anstatt der HDD. In diesem Testbericht zeigen wir auf www.ocinside.de, daß man selbst Notebooks mit einer IDE bzw. PATA Festplatte durch eine schnelle SSD aufrüsten kann, um so die Performance enorm zu verbessern. Getestet wurde dafür die Mach Xtreme Technology 60GB PATA 50-Pin SSD im 1,8-Zoll Format, die gerade mal 5mm dünn ist und anstatt einer Toshiba MK8007GAH 1,8-Zoll PATA Festplatte in ein Toshiba Portege R400 Notebook eingebaut wurde. Desweiteren wurde die 60GB MX-NANO 50 PATA SSD mit einem Adapter an einer aktuellen SATA 3 Schnittstelle getestet, um sie mit den zuvor getesteten Solid State Drives und Festplatten zu vergleichen. Wer den nächsten Urlaub für die Anschaffung eines neuen Notebooks bereits abgeschrieben hat, sollte sich den Test nicht entgehen lassen.

L'USB 3.0 est une norme en devenir, qui tend à se démocratiser de plus en plus. Les boitiers externes et disques durs externes à cette norme sont de plus en plus présents sur le marché, tout comme les clés USB. MX-Technology est d'ailleurs de la partie, avec un nouveau modèle qui se veut accessible, la MX-GX. Un produit qui revendique quand même 140 Mo/sec en lecture et ce sans vous ponctionner de plus de 40 € pour un modèle 16 Go.
