PQI 64GB SDXC Class 10 Flash Memory Card Review
|
 "The 64GB PQI SDXC card has a very impressive storage capacity with respectable performance numbers. For example the Canon EOS Rebel 550D/T2i DSLR camera records HD video and the user's manual recommends at least Class 6 memory cards in order to record 1080p video smoothly. The PQI 64GB SDXC card should be able to keep up when recording 1080p video and images in continuous burst mode. Having a card that pushes 20MB/s read and write also means you can easily offload all of images and videos from the memory card to computer..."

Kingston SSDNow V100 128GB SSD Review
|
|
"Priced at $240 for the drive and desktop upgrade kit, the Kingston SSDNow V100 128GB SSD falls in the middle of the pack in terms of price in comparison to its peers. It's available in 64GB, 128GB and 256GB capacities with notebook and desktop upgrade kits available for all three sized drives as well. The 128GB desktop bundle version we received offers read speeds topping out at 250MB/s and writes at up to 230MB/s and is covered by a three year warranty...."

Kingston SSDNow V+100 256GB Solid State Drive Review
|
|
"One of the biggest surprises we learned at CES 2011 was that Kingston had joined Team SandForce for the SF-2000 Series of products. After CES we learned from Digitimes that Kingston was also moving to acquire a larger stake of controller manufacturer JMicron at the same time. Kingston has been gaining attention for their solid state drive products for the last two years and slowly gaining market share. The recent maneuvers will allow Kingston to continue building upon their successes and become an even larger player in the global solid state drive market.
Today we are looking at the Kingston V+100. The new V+100 uses a 32nm Toshiba T6UG1XBG controller that is very close to the 43nm controller from the original V+. The new die size has really helped power draw, down to 3.6 watts from 4.2 watts. In addition to the die shrink, the new V+100 has been updated with better firmware that significantly improves internal drive cleanup (Garbage Collection)."

Patriot Xporter XT 32gb pen drive
|
|
"Having just fired out a review of their SSD, today I'm picking up the mantle of another Patriot review. This one's the 32Gb variant of their Xporter line of pen drives. It's only USB 2.0 so I'm not expecting mind blowing performance, but Patriot have said that this one has "200x performance speed", so it's gotta be fast, right?"

“These new Patriot Gamer 2 modules sport an aggressive aesthetic and sleek black heatspreaders. The really interesting thing is this 8GB kit only costs $105, one of the least expensive on the market in this speed range. Larger capacity, attractive styling, and a great price......are these Patriot Gamer 2 modules the next big thing? Let’s find out.”

Crucial Ballistix Smart Tracer 6GB (3x2GB) PC3-12800 Kit
|
|
The Crucial Ballistix Smart Tracer 6GB (3x2GB) PC3-12800 kit is very stable and offers solid performance. The extra features that Crucial have added to their standard Ballistix sticks not only give the consumer more bang for the buck, but make this a very attractive kit, considering that they're priced right in line with other 1600MHz triple channel kits.

Vengeance 8GB 1600MHz Dual Memory DDR3
|
|
Heading the charge is Corsair, a company you all are likely familiar with as they are one of the industry’s leaders in DIMM manufacturing. Corsair recently released the new Vengeance line of high performance DDR3 just prior to that of the P67 chipset. Thanks to Sandy Bridge being built with a much better memory controller than the socket 1156 and 1366 processors, the socket 1155 variants are capable of improved memory performance and running a higher frequency, all the while doing so without breaking a sweat. The kit we will be taking a look at from Corsair today is the Vengeance model CMZ8GB3M2A1600C9. When broken down this equates to being an 8GB kit(2x4GB) of DDR3, running at 1600MHz, with a CAS latency of 9.

Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey Series 4GB DDR3-2133
|
|
“We're looking at a set of Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey Series 4GB DDR3-2133 modules. They bring the famous HyperX pedigree to the table but come with a slightly new twist, sporting grey heatspreaders instead of the traditional blue. They still look sleek, but perhaps more significantly is they come with a $105 price tag for a killer speed rating. Let's find out if Kingston has produced another winner with these HyperX Genesis modules.”

Kingston HyperX Max 3.0 64GB
|
|
Our experience with the Kingston HyperX Max 3.0 64GB tells us that this is a very well made product featuring a high-quality SSD inside, perhaps the best of any external SSD we know of. Although quite pricey at $190 US, we feel given what is out there this price isn’t bad. After all, the OCZ Enyo 64GB is still fetching $180 US, and although it should provide similar performance we prefer the design of the HyperX Max 3.0.

OCZ Vertex 3 240GB review
|
|
It was only a week ago when we tested the OCZ Vertex 3 PRO, the somewhat business and enterprise oriented SSD. But what about the enthusiast consumers you might wonder ? Well for you guys OCZ will release a cheaper regular Vertex 3 SSD. It's as fast as that PRO version you guys.
Quite frankly from what you'll see today is that this SSD might be roughly as fast as the PRO model, so what are the differences then ? Well, Let's find out and check this review.

Crucial Ballistix Smart Tracer PC3-12800 4GB Kit Review
|
|
"I didn't think we'd ever see anything too fancy from the company, though, but over the years we've seen the Ballistix series which has grown to include a few different series' within that. The latest is the Smart Tracer modules that carry that LED Tracer lighting, but in a smart way. We say 'smart way' as the company has introduced the new Memory Overview Display software (or M.O.D). We'll get into this soon, but let's first have a closer look at the actual kit of RAM we're dealing with.
Externally the Ballistix Smart Tracer doesn't look any different to the normal Tracer stuff. We've again got two modules for our P67 platform that comes in at 2GB each. Timing wise, we've got an 8-8-8-24-1T @ 1.65v setup at 1600MHz DDR (or PC3-12800). These run at the same speed as the Patriot 8GB kit we recently looked at, except they're slightly more aggressive on the timings front. With the speed being quite low compared to some other kits we've looked at, we knew getting to the default timings wouldn't be an issue."
