Kingston DataTraveler Ultimate G3 64GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive Review
|
 Around a month ago i was asked to attend a technology related seminar for which i had to prepare and bring enough material to fill a large part of the 6 hours total it was ment to last (i say ment because i ended up leaving a lot sooner). The result was me filling a total of 52GB worth of data from charts, benchmarks, product pictures and Full HD clips on my favorite Kingston HyperX 128GB USB Flash Drive. Now the interesting part was that i wasn`t really the only person in charge of bringing material for the seminar and so in the end there were five of us each carrying a USB flash drive with enough data to fill not 6 but 30 hours. Because of that in the end we all started talking about flash drives, how their prices have reached an all-time low and which are the best ones in the market currently not only in terms of performance but also in appearance and build quality. Naturally the award winning HyperX and PREDATOR flash drives by Kingston where at the center of our discussion but it seems that Kingston is on a roll since the very next day we received their latest DataTraveler Ultimate G3 64GB USB 3.0 Flash drive."

Crucial Ballistix Tactical LP & Sport VLP 1600MHz DDR3 Memory Kit Review @ Legit Reviews
|
|
The Crucial Ballistic Sport VLP module stands just 18.75mm tall and the Crucial Ballistix Tatical LP is 25.50mm in height. A normal DDR3 memory module module with a heatspreader on it is around 32mm in height, so these are substantially lower. Super high-end performance memory like the Kingston HyperX T1 module stands 60.95mm tall, but the Corsair Dominator GTX module tops them all at 64.30mm tall!"

The TridentX product lineup features quality select memory ICs to ensure high clock speeds at 1.65V, in our kit's case 2400MHz before overclocking.

Affordable DDR3-2400 kits review
|
|
We reviewed the Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3-2400 CL10 kit and the Kingston HyperX Beast DDR3-2400 CL11 8 GB kit and 16 GB quad-kit. For the average PC user DDR3-2400 kits actually don't have any added value, and they are better off with a larger amount of RAM instead of faster modules. For the price of the Corsair Vengeance 8 GB DDR3-2400 kit you can also buy 16 GB of slower memory that is more than sufficiently fast for normal PC users. However, there are those that enjoy getting the highest benchmark scores with their computer (and then bragging about them on HWBot), and for them DDR3-2400 memory is fun to have.

Kingston HyperX Beast DDR3-2133 64GB Memory Kit Review @ ThinkComputers.org
|
|
Not that long ago Kingston announced a new entry into their HyperX line, Beast. The Beast memory kits are designed for users who want the largest capacity memory available, but still want that performance memory speed and quality. HyperX Beast is part of the Predator line so it is made for both power users and enthusiasts. As I said these kits are for people who want large capacities so the lowest capacity kit available is 16GB. Kingston was nice enough to send us the big boy of the line which is the KHX21C11T3FK8/64X kit. This a 64GB (8x8GB) kit running at 2133MHz with timings of 11-12-11 at 1.65v. So lets get started!"

Kingston DataTraveler HyperX PREDATOR 512GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive Review
|
|
Although during this years CES many manufacturers presented impressive and innovative products there`s no doubt that the most impressive storage product unveiled was the DataTraveler HyperX Predator 512GB USB 3.0 flash drive by Kingston. Now this was not only because Kingston managed to squeeze 512GB in a flash drive (was bound to happen sooner or later since 256GB units have been around for some time) but mainly due to the fact that the Predator is pretty much the first USB flash drive of its kind since it`s basically an SSD in flash drive format. And like if 512GB were not enough Kingston announced that they will release a 1TB version in the following months. After all of the above no one can really wonder as to why we just had to check the latest DataTraveler HyperX Predator 512GB USB 3.0 flash drive out right?"

Patriot Memory for Ultrabook - Scaling SODIMM RAM Density vs. Battery Life
|
|
Last month we reviewed Patriot`s low voltage SODIMM `Memory for Ultrabook` RAM and found it increased notebook battery life over standard 1.5v SODIMM memory. We`re back now to answer the question we left with last month - what happens to battery performance when I use more than one stick of memory?"

G.SKILL TRIDENTX 8GB 2400C10 Dual Channel RAM
|
|
The G.Skill brand has become one of the more popular ones in the enthusiast community. This Taiwanese RAM company has won the hearts of many overclockers, especially due their binning methods and affordable price tag. Therefore G.Skill manages time after time to launch RAM kits in multiple speed/timing versions, different quantities and best of all they usually sport some overclocking headroom. G.Skill introduced simultaneously a new series of RAM, baptized TridentX, together with Intel's launch of the Ivy Bridge CPU. The RAM vendors had to readjust their binning methods, mainly due to the high ram speed support of Intel's 3rd generation CPU. Enthusiast RAM isn't solely based anymore on just tight timings, high RAM speeds is one of the new requirements. The TridentX kit reviewed today is one of the medium specced kits, comprised of two 4GB Dimms running at a whopping 2400MHz RAM speed, however affordably priced at sub 75 euros.
