Arriving in Taipei, Taiwan a few days early allowed us an unexpected ‘behind the scenes’ look at Computex 2012 where we couldn’t help but be amazed at the work displayed to put on one of the worlds largest technology events. It reminds us of CeBIT 2012 in Hanover, Germany, where we observed a polizei escorted procession of close to 1000 …

I realize that this may not be the typical picture that one might expect for Computex but it is a good representation of the excitement and atmosphere we are fortunate to experience. Once again, we are off to beautiful Taipei, Taiwan for Computex and, in fact, Karen has left ahead with a paid invite to meet with AData just outside …

Its been some time in the making but The SSD Review is finally on Facebook and you can find us HERE! We wanted to find an avenue to show you things that go on behind the scenes at the review, things such as pictures that don’t make it to the reviews, videos as well as showing you a bit of …

The SSD Review had the opportunity to meet with Robert Pearce, Sr Technical Marketing Specialist of Corsair, this week at Computex Taipei and he had some rather unexpected SSD news to pass on. It appears that Corsair will be releasing an enthusiast line of SSDs known as the Force 3 GT line right on the heals of their new ‘Sandforce …

Brace yourself for this SSD release because we cannot simply give you the meat without the gravy on this one.  While at CES, we were lucky enough to spend time with Kingston behind the scenes and at their “WOW” event for release of their new product line to include the HyperX SSD. Set in the Bellevita Taipei, this release party …

One of our particular highlights of coming to Computex was the opportunity to finally meet some long time friends, the first being Charles Chou of Memoright.  Our relationship with Memoright goes back almost to day one of SSDs as we know them. As great as it was to finally meet Charles, we were very impressed with, not only their product …
