Super Talent USB 3.0 Express RAM Cache 32GB
|
|
USB 2.0 just isn't enough speed these days. People expect more performance out of their pocketable storage devices. In an emerging market of USB 3.0 devices, Super Talent releases a flash drive that already stands out from the rest. Read on to find out why this drive is different from rest.

Kingston DataTraveler Ultimate 32GB USB3
|
|
" Another flash drive? You're probably sick of seeing flash drive
reviews that basically show a slow device with a moderate capacity. This
is different. The Kingston DataTraveler Ultimate is a new USB3 version
with write speeds of 60MB/s and reads of 80MB/s. This is more like a SSD
than a flash drive. "

G.Skill Ripjaws PC3-12800 (1600MHz) 8GB Kit
|
|
"Over the past few months we've seen memory companies offer us some fairly large kits. We saw Kingston offer us a massive 24GB kit not too long ago and more recently recently looked at a 12GB kit from SuperTalent as well as an 8GB kit from ADATA. Today G.Skill will be joining the ranks of big kits with a new Ripjaws series offering.
The Ripjaws kit isn't anything new to us; we've seen the series before from G.Skill and we've been impressed by it, too. Larger models tend to come at the cost of more relaxed timings, though, and today we'll figure out if that's a trade-off we're happy to accept."

Corsair Dominator PC3-12800 (1600MHz) 4GB Kit
|
|
"It seems that companies are concentrating a little more on the lower speed end of the memory market at the moment. Recently we looked at a new Kingston kit which carried with it a 1600MHz DDR clock and today we're looking at a kit from Corsair that carries with it the same speed.
Of course, the speed is the only difference, because in both true Corsair and Dominator style, the timings are quite aggressive. Before we get into too much detail on that, we'll have a look at the package and then the modules themselves before getting into the overclocking side of things."

Galaxy GeForce GTX 480 Super OC 1536MB Overclocked
|
|
"It's really been ages since we looked at a GTX 480 aside from the Galaxy Super OC we looked at the other day which can be found here. Sure, we've had a look at it with a dedicated PhysX card and more recently we looked at it with the latest driver, but when it comes to looking at the card in a standard review, because we only got hold of the one card it's been ages.
Galaxy managed to do a superb job with this GTX 480. The cooler fixes the issues we had seen with the reference card while giving us even more performance. As it's been so long since we've overclocked the model and the fact that the Galaxy version is so much meaner than the reference one, we thought it was time to look at overclocking again."

A-DATA Nobility N005 64GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive
|
|
"USB 3.0 will be one of the fastest adapted new technologies of 2010. At this time it appears that everyone is on board, even though Intel is struggling to get their butt in gear. Intel aside, USB 3.0 is all over the place and thanks to NEC, even Intel motherboards come standard now with the latest spec, truly universal standard. With the first half of the catch 22 in place, we can now start to focus on USB 3.0 devices to take advantage of the new USB 3.0 spec.
A-DATA is already onboard with USB 3.0 and is offering several new products that take advantage of the available bandwidth. One of A-DATA’s largest markets is portable thumb drives, so it was only natural for A-DATA to take a leadership role in rolling out USB 3.0 thumb drives and get them out at a reasonable price."

Kingston HyperX blu PC3-12800 (1600MHz) 4GB Kit
|
|
"The HyperX name has been around for a while now and we've seen many modules fall into the series. Today, however, we're seeing the biggest change to the series we've seen in a while.
Today we're looking at the new HyperX blu Series. Its aim is HyperX quality at a value price. To some, HyperX means speed; to others, it means great quality modules and heatsink along with the ability to overclock. So, what we're wondering is, how does the HyperX blu series sit in the line-up?"

Kingston DataTraveler Ultimate 64GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive Review
|
|
"The Kingston DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 64GB Flash drive is certainly the fastest USB Flash drive that we have ever seen Kingston bring to the market. The move to SuperSpeed USB 3.0 is certainly a welcomed addition to the market and we are very happy to see Kingston enter the USB 3.0 market for the very first time. As more companies enter the USB 3.0 market space it is only to increase competition and that, in turn, drives innovation up and usually pricing down. We hope this will be just the first of many more USB 3.0 products that we see from Kingston this year..."

Kingmax Hercules PC3-17600 (2200MHz) 4GB Kit
|
|
"A while back we saw Kingmax launch the new Hercules series of memory. It seemed to be a step forward in bringing the Kingmax name into the mouths of overclockers again. While the kit didn’t perform bad at all, the memory market is extremely competitive and it seemed like the kit never really got any legs.
Today Kingmax intend to throw another kit at us carrying the same Hercules name. The kit carries with it also the same speed; 2200MHz DDR, which while not the highest we’ve seen, is sitting at the top of the pile and ready to take a whizz through our test regime today."

GeIL EVO TWO 4GB DDR3-1600 CL7
|
|
“We're looking at a set of GeIL EVO TWO 4GB DDR3-1600 CL7 memory modules that may just be one of the best looking we've ever laid eyes on. Beefy, sleek, modern - the EVO TWOs look gorgeous. So, is beauty only skin deep, or in the case of these memory modules, metal deep? Or is there something more under the hood that will drive the performance to match the outward appearance?”
