WD 1TB Caviar Green Hard Drive w/ Advanced Format :: Posted by THRASHER2
Western Digital recently began to ship a new series of Caviar hard drives that included the company's Advanced Format technology. The new Caviar Green models are nearly identical to their standard brethren, but offer double the cache (64MB instead of 32MB at 1-2TB) and have a different model number. A WD10EARS is an Advanced Format drive; a WD10-EADS is a 'normal' drive. WD isn't marketing Advanced Format much at the moment, but it's important to understand what the technology is and how it works, particularly if you're still running Windows XP...

Turns out Shuttle is still very much alive and kicking, and it's working on new ways to promote its barebones systems, along with an unusual modular notebook initiative.

UNITEK 2 Port USB 3.0 PCI Express Card :: Posted by THRASHER2
"Today for review IÂ’ve got the Unitek 2 Port USB 3.0 PCI Express Card supplied by BrandoUSB. I took a look at one last week, it was a no-name or generic card and the speeds were decent, or at least they seemed that way as I didnÂ’t have anything to compare it to. In this review today IÂ’ll be comparing that no-name brand to the Unitek one I have today to see if thereÂ’s any difference between a name brand card and a generic one. "

Toshiba HG2 43nm 256GB Solid State Drive Review :: Posted by THRASHER2
"The 256GB Toshiba HG2 Series drive that we benchmarked proved to be a solid performing mainstream SSD from our testing. The vast majority of file transfers in Windows are sequential read and write data moves and the HG2 had very respectable sequential speeds. For example in ATTO we were able to reach 241MB/s read and 177MB/s write. These are the types of speeds that we would expect for a mainstream SSD in 2010. The Toshiba HG2 Series of SSDs also supports TRIM, which is is critical in making sure your drive is performing at the top of its game...."
