Corsair Dominator Platinum 32GB DDR3 Review @ Vortez
|
 Today`s review focuses on the new Platinum range, specifically the 2133MHz Quad Channel (8x4GB) kit. With Intel`s X79 slowly increasing in popularity, more and more memory manufacturers are beginning to create Quad channel memory kits, none more so than Corsair. Indeed, we use their own Vengeance kit in our test system; such is the robust and reliable performance of Corsair products. The Platinum range is an evolution of that ethos and as the precious metal name suggests, it is the result of years of research, culminating in the pinnacle of their skill to produce the kit we have for review today."

If you are looking for a compact flash drive that is robust enough to go on your key chain while still offering the benefit of a USB 3.0 interface, the PQI Tiffany is certainly a good candidate on paper. We take the unit for a spin to see if it can combine the best of both worlds: shape, size and speed."

Patriot Supersonic Magnum 256GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive Review
|
|
In this day and age, storage is everything, especially when you're on the go, and there's generally speaking, two ways of having it in your life when mobile. The first is utilising the cloud and the second is via USB storage. Patriot's newest USB flash drive is aimed at users needing both large capacities and high performance and is branded under the Supersonic Magnum branding, though not for the faint hearted, as the range starts from around £70.
The Supersonic Magnum comes in three flavours, with a 64GB, 128GB and 256GB model spanning the range. Today we find the cream of the crop 256GB model gracing us with USB 3.0 quoted speeds up to 250MB/s read and 160MB/s write speeds and is compatible with both Windows 8 and MAC based computers.

Transcend RDF8 USB 3.0 Memory Card Reader Review @ Legit Reviews
|
|
By plugging in the Transcend RDF8 USB 3.0 Memory Card Reader into one of the available USB 3.0 ports on the ASUS UX31A we found performance increased nicely. The sequential read and write speeds jumped up to 81MB/s and 45MB/s, respectively. Speed aside it also supports other memory card formats that we previously couldn`t do, so you get more than just a speed boost!"

OCZ Agility 4 256gb @ LanOC Reviews
|
|
It wasnt that long ago when we took a look at the OCZ Vertex 4, the first drive sporting the Indilinx Everest 2 controller. The Vertex 4 topped just about everything we put it through. When OCZ asked if we were interested in checking out the Asynchronous Agility 4, we jumped at the chance. With the difference between the drives just being the NAND used, its always interesting to see what real world performance difference you should expect when going with a budget drive. Not everyone can afford to get top of the line, especially when balancing capacity as well. Lets see what you will be giving up and find out if its worth the difference in price."

Kingston HyperX 10th Anniversary 16GB 2400MHz Quad Channel Kit Review
|
|
Compared to well over a decade ago when we just had but a few memory chip manufacturers nowadays more and more brands keep emerging most of which just rebrand memory chips from the leading manufacturers in the field and ship them to the market as their own (oldest trick in the book). Kingston was one of the very first memory chip manufacturers i got to know pretty well during the 90`s right next to Intel, Viking, GoldStar (LG now) and Nanya so after using their products for roughly 2 decades i know exactly what to expect in terms of quality, performance and after sales support. However although they`ve been making memory kits for over 2 decades it wasn`t until 10 years ago that they introduced their HyperX line of products aimed specifically towards enthusiasts and hardcore gamers. So today we are going to be testing the HyperX 16GB DDR3 2400MHz CL11 quad channel memory kit (KHX24C11X3K4/16X) which was designed specifically to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of their HyperX product line."

Corsair Vengeance M65 Review @ Vortez
|
|
The M65 joins the Vengeance M95 and K95 as a part of a refresh of their peripheral line-up for 2013, in most cases concentrating on making small changes for a more well-rounded whole. The headline change made in the design of the M65 is the inclusion of the 8200DPI Avago ADNS-9800 LaserStream Gaming Sensor, substantially upgrading from the previous 5200DPI sensor, although the promotional material also boasts access to the second generation Vengeance Configuration software utility. Remaining at centre stage are the stylish exposed aluminium-chassis design, sniper button and configurable weight system seen on the M60."

Patriot Supersonic Magnum 256GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive Review @ Hi Tech Legion
|
|
The Patriot Memory Supersonic Magnum USB drive promises blazing fast 250MB/s read and 160MB/s write speeds. The Supersonic Magnum drive is available in 256GB, 128GB, and 64GB capacities, utilizing 8-channel technology to efficiently deliver impressive transfer rates whether the system is running on Windows, Mac OS or Linux operating systems. Measuring just 9.1mm thick, the Patriot Memory Supersonic Magnum USB drive actually has no clearance issues when plugged in side-by-side in parallel with a USB cable at the back of the motherboard. It is however 26.9mm wide so there might be clearance issues with the rear device port directly above or below the Supersonic Magnum drive. A durable aluminum shell casing protects the Supersonic Magnum from drops, shocks and other impacts of up to 15G and it is backed with a warranty that spans 5-years."
