OCZ Core Series 64GB SSD benchmarks suggest performance bargain

Chris Davies, Jul 18th 2008 Discuss [2]

The words "cheap" and "SSD" don't tend to cluster together all that much, which is a shame because many people would love to upgrade their tech with cool-running, fast-accessing solid-state storage. OCZ promised to (almost) change things, with their Core Series line of drives: the predicted retail prices are $169, $259 and $479 for 32GB, 64GB and 128GB respectively, with read transfer rates of over 100MBps and sub-1ms seek times. Bold claims, and Laptop Mag have had the 64GB model in recently to see if OCZ really have kicked off the age of affordable SSDs. Read The Full Story

SlashGear Week in Review – May 18th

Chris Davies, May 18th 2008 Discuss [0]

ASUS continued their assault on the budget computing market this week, with the Eee PC 900 finally launching in the US while its Intel Atom powered sibling the PC 901 broke cover. We also saw a live photo of the Eee Box B202, a desktop version. It looks as though the rumors of a separate Eee brand could be true; the ASUS logo is notable for its absence on the new products. Meanwhile, OLPC and Microsoft finally shook hands on a Windows XP deal for the XO education notebook, and Fujitsu showed off their own Atom-based ultraportable, the U2010 UMPC complete with 3.5G WWAN and GPS.

OCZ PC2-9200 Flex II DDR2 Series – World’s Fastest 4GB kit, and it uses DDR2

James Allan Brady, Apr 11th 2008 Discuss [2]

I wouldn’t even think of overclocking these DDR2-1150 memory chips considering they already require the use of an intense system of metal fins to dissipate heat and water cooling seems to be highly recommended with two lines going in and two going out of each stick’s processor-worthy heatsink. If you absolutely have to be on the bleeding edge of technology and you haven’t already switched to a board with DDR3 on it, these are the chips for you. Read The Full Story

OCZ SSD drives – shiny, probably cost a mint

James Allan Brady, Mar 13th 2008 Discuss [0]

These drives are more or less just like any of the other 2.5” SATA II SSD drives out there. They come in 32 and 64 gigabyte capacities, but what’s different is they offer up 120MB/s read and 100MB/s write speeds. Read The Full Story

OCZ partners with NVIDIA to release SLI Certified memory

James Allan Brady, Oct 12th 2007 Discuss [0]

It’s a 4GB RAM kit with a pair of 2GB PC2 6400 DDR2 sticks of RAM. They also have NVIDIA EPP. EPP stands for Enhanced Performance Profiles and is built into the RAM chips so that they work far better with nVidia’s nForce SLI-based motherboards. They operate at a mere 800MHz which is kind of said with all the new chipsets offering an FSB of 1333MHz and GeIL offering up DDR3 modules that operate at the same speed. Read The Full Story
