Corsair's Force SSD Reviewed: SF-1200 is Very Good
Late last year we were told that SandForce's client controller, the SF-1200 wouldn't be as solid of a performer as the SF-1500. It would be on par with Indilinx's Barefoot, perhaps a bit faster, but nothing major. Oh how wrong we were.

Seasonic X-Series 750W: Potent for the Price
Seasonic recently released their latest foray into the retail PSU market, the X-Series with 80 Plus Gold certification.
