AS SSD BENCHMARK VER 1.64 Up until recently, ATTO was the only benchmark created specifically for SSD testing and it uses incompressible data.  AS SSD, for the most part, gives us the ‘worst case scenario’ in SSD transfer speeds while using ‘SandForce Driven’ SSDs as they use compression in storage as discussed earlier.  Many enthusiasts like to AS SSD for …

HDTUNE PRO VER. 4.60 BENCHMARK Once again, we are not going to do a direct comparison between the Force Series GT and the Force Series 3 but you can refer to our Series 3 review here.  HDTune Pro offers and excellent opportunity to confirm what we have seen in testing thusfar, but remember, benchmarks are again based on compressible data …

The SSD Review uses benchmark software called PCMark Vantage x64 HDD Suite to create testing scenarios that might be used in the typical user experience. There are eight tests in all and the tests performed record the speed of data movement in MB/s to which they are then given a numerical score after all of the tests are complete. The …

ADATA knows that SandForce-driven SSDs are a win-win combination of performance and speed. In this article, Benchmark Reviews tests the ADATA S511 solid state drive. Based on the popular new SandForce SF-2281 SATA 6GB/s controller and fast IMFT-branded NAND flash components, ADATA claims the AS511S3 is capable of 550 MB/s read and 510 MB/s write speed with 4K random write …

Today we are taking a look at the Coolink Corator DS, a CPU cooler which is not quite as mainstream as it looks. CPU coolers, or at least air-based coolers, have had a tendency to grow in size and in all dimensions. This is certainly no exceptions as this thing is huge and I would certainly take a gander at …

Thermaltake has been around for what seems like as long as I have been around. While their beginnings may have been “rocky” and most users shun the name brand these days, I am here to tell you that Thermaltake has made leaps and bounds worth of improvement over this time frame. Even just looking back to the Element cases I …

Film fans are nothing if not passionate folk and for many their favourite films represent far more than the celluloid they are printed on. For some it’s a life; a religion and these films are embraced as their own children. In recent years, it has become relatively common practice to make alterations to a film during the remastering and restoration …

Australia — what a glorious country. I may be biased in my observations, but no one can deny its epicness: Riding kangaroos to work, having a conservative political party called “Liberals”, celebrating Christmas in the summer, and having everything in general upside down are just a few things to mention. As truly nice as Australia is to live in, we …

For quite some time, the thought of a full size touch screen monitor has recurred in build considerations as it just seems that ‘touch’ can make things faster and more enjoyable. Having watch closely over the past few years, there seem to have been many trial and error lessons learned and only after our visit to Computex did a touchscreen …
