New Kingston Flash Drives

James Allan Brady, Jan 14th 2008 Discuss [0]

Kingston was showing off 4 new flash drives, the one I was most impressed with is the HyperX one. I mean, their HyperX PC memory is impressive so I can only expect similar speeds from this flash drive, and it delivers with a write speed of 20MB/second and read speed that’s 10MB/second faster, this thing is built for ReadyBoost. You can get these drives for 74, 131, and 266 dollars in capacities of 2, 4, and 8 gigabytes respectively. Read The Full Story

Seagate Momentus 5400 PSD

James Allan Brady, Oct 8th 2007 Discuss [1]

Hybrid hard drives from Seagate are all the new rage. So you can’t afford an SSD drive for your laptop and the power loss from a traditional HDD is killing your battery life, what can you do? Well Seagate has come up with a compromise, a hard drive that has some flash storage but the large majority of the storage is on a standard HDD. I think they could do a slight better job by adding about 4GB of high speed flash storage to a drive and allowing it to be addressed as a separate drive so you can install your OS on it, use it for ReadyBoost, or just assign it as the page file, but that’s just me.

IFA 2007 – Thanks for the memory, Toshiba

Chris Davies, Aug 31st 2007 Discuss [0]

While Sharp relied on a massively skinny TV to wow IFA 2007 audiences, Toshiba seem to be going to quiet route; they've launched a number of new memory products designed to eke the very best performance out of your laptop, digital camera or PMP. Fresh for your picking includes new 16GB and 32GB High-Density SDHC cards, an 8GB microSDHC card and new TransFlash-based USB memory in 1GB to 8GB capacities (with 32GB promised by the end of the year).

SlashGear Review: SanDisk Cruzer Contour USB Flash Drive

Chris Davies, Aug 13th 2007 Discuss [7]

Right now, USB drives seem to fall into one of three categories. You’ve got your bargain basement, no-brand sorts, often to be found as giveaways full of promotional literature at trade shows; then there are the bizarre drives, shaped like sushi or animals. Finally, there are the drives that aim to be the modern-day version of a gentleman’s cigarette holder (only far more socially acceptable and a darn sight healthier); something weighty and classically designed, which you can fiddle with while you’re not actually using. SanDisk are decidedly proud of their Cruzer Contour, a drive falling resolutely into that final category, and they sent one over to SlashGear hoping that we’d like it so much we’d let them get to second-base.

Toshiba Transmemory Gets ReadyBoost Upgrade

James Allan Brady, Jul 26th 2007 Discuss [0]

For those using Windows Vista, you probably know that if you really push it, it can get pretty resource intensive, thankfully Microsoft was kind enough to implement a great technology into the OS known as ReadyBoost. These upgraded Transmemory drives, I assume, have a higher transfer speed allowing them to be used quite effectively as ReadyBoost drives. The U2K line consists of 1, 2, 4, and 8 gigabyte sizes. There will also be a limited edition 32GB version. Read The Full Story
