Although not SSD related, the overwhelming response from last years CES Booth Babe edition , and then that of Computex, has encouraged our posting of a few of the highlights of CES 2012 again this year. For those who are not fortunate enough to attend this event as it is not open to the public, lets just say that companies …

To those wondering what this might have to do with SSDs whatsoever, these pictures were taken at the Intel MSI Patriot Party at the Palms Hardwood Suite, The Palms, Las Vegas. The party was hosted by absolutely gorgeous ‘referee’ hostesses as well as a few stunning Playboy Bunnies who were also in attendance.  As much as we were going to …

To say that CES was a mad point today at one point was an understatement as scores of people crowded around the Tosy Robotics booth hoping for a glimpse at Justin Bieber. The crowd was thicker than a Boxing Day sale at Macy’s as security had to continually push the crowd back to keep them at bay, each in hopes …

Some great things were shown at the OCZ display in the Aria Hotel in Las Vegas this week and none more interesting than OCZ’ casual mentioning that their new Everest 2 Platform SSD just may be the new Vertex 4.

OCZ showed up a bit late to Storage Visions 2012 this morning but, as expected, they had no shortage of product introductions on display. With news of the new jointly developed ‘Kilimanjaro’ platform still fresh on everyone’s mind, OCZ was more than happy to display their new mini-PCIe entry along with the Z-Drive R5 PCIe SSD, the Z-5 containing no …

We are at Storage Visions 2012 Las Vegas and, if our first meeting with the Micron/Crucial Team is any indication of things to come, 2012 is going to be a great year for SSD technology. From a great display to caching solutions, their new ultra thin M4 SSD and a mSATA SSD on display that they couldn’t speak about, this …

So I am getting ready to head off to CES and guess what comes across my e-mail?  The Kupa X11 tablet? Kupa, a company I had never heard of as I am sure most others haven’t, is going to highlight their new tablet this year at CES and I dare say that even the biggest tablet manufacturer will be taking …

This SSD report is our first of the New Year and  examines the Super Talent Tera Nova 120GB SATA 3 SSD that was announced this past December.
