Earlier this year, Silicon Power introduced their newest members of the Extreme family, the E25 series of solid-state drives. The new E25 line is a bump up from the year-old E20 models, and more than likely flew under the radar for a vast majority of readers. It was announced close to CES 2012 and released just a few months after, …

When the thunder rolls! Lighting strikes somewhere and although we can’t see exactly where we know it’s close because less than five seconds later there is a crack of thunder.  You know it is a true thunderstorm when these events happen so close together. As we are collected in the garage to avoid the rain it’s a great experience and conversation …

June has almost passed us by and the official beginning of summer here in Ontario, Canada starts with the end of school and the July 1st long weekend. The forecast is awesome for all outdoor activities.  Families will embark on the lakes and campsites in full force. Smores galore will be made and of course the cold beer will be chillin’. Wishing everyone …

After 6 days of meetings and ‘events’, it’s our last working day here in Taipei, Taiwan. Computex again provided us with new insight into the world of electronics and specifically SSDs, of course.  New relationships were built and existing ones strengthened. Tonight, we will enjoy some sightseeing, take in a night market and try to find another good place to …

Read today how the latest big Canadian Lottery winner, $50,000,000.00, is planning to continue working.  Crazy! I have to admit that, yes I would want to keep busy. but I would so be taking at least a year off to travel the world with those who meant the most to me.  With that much money you could take each person, …

A ‘globe’ do you know what it is? Not the official dictionary definition, but just the item itself. For some it’s a reminder of an era gone by, a simpler time.  They were colorful and stood out in the classroom. some were smaller and sat on the teacher’s desk while others stood up tall from the floor. But they all taught …

Are you someone who is always on time or late? Me, I’m always on time but it seems that most of my friends are what I still refer to as ‘slow pokes’.  Is it because they are simply unorganized and don’t prioritize their departure accurately, or do they simply want to be seen. You know grab the attention of the …

It wasn’t so long ago that we broke news of the Intel/SandForce partnership and everyone told us we were nuts.  Once again, we are here to publish another SSD first and Intel seems to be front and center once again. Our SSD analysis today will examine the Intel Series 330 SATA 3 SSD, the value priced little brother of the …

Another crazy weather day up here in Ontario. End of April and there are some areas that are snow covered.  I don’t recall school buses ever being cancelled in April, but then I’m from Manitoba, a province that is prone to lots of snow and citizens that still make it to where they need to be. So tonight I decided …

It’s time for summer to start. Not sure where you might be located, but the weather here in Ontario is beginning to get a little annoying; cold and rainy today.  I am thankful we didn’t receive the snow that some parts north of us did. It was the perfect day to take in a movie, 21 Jump Street. Some great laughs …
