Posted in Buffalo by Conner Flynn on January 5th, 2011

Buffalo is launching three new USB 3.0 DriveStation storage devices: The DriveStation Axis, DriveStation Duo and DriveStation Quad. The last two are RAID devices that are aimed at small businesses and professionals, who will find them useful because it can use several hard disks to speed up storage performance or increase the safety or your data.

The maximum transfer speed of the DriveStation Quad is 235MB/s and it supports up to 8TB of storage, while the DriveStation Duo is 225MB/sec. Of course, all the drives are still compatible with USB 2.0.

Posted in Notebooks by Conner Flynn on December 5th, 2010

Hey look at this. A Dell Inspiron Duo knockoff. Naturally it’s smaller in size and less powerful than the real deal. The Dell Inspiron Duo has one big feature going for it that we had never seen before. That’s why it wowed most of us. And that’s why the knockoff makers didn’t waste any time with this design.

But as usual, they don’t get that we want good specs, even in a knockoff. It’s powered by an Intel Atom N450 processor with GMA 3150 graphics, includes 1GB of RAM, a 120GB hard drive, swiveling 8.9-inch capacitive touchscreen (1024 X 600), two USB ports, an SD card slot, LAN port, VGA output, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and a 2 megapixel webcam.

Intel T9900 Core 2 Duo Notebook processor breaks 3GHz

Intel T9900 Core 2 Duo Notebook processor breaks 3GHz It’s no surprise that Intel unveiled a bunch of new processors at Computex. The T9900, P9700, P8800, SU2700 processors and GS40 chipset. The T9900 Core 2 Duo stands out from the crowd, clocked at a fast 3.06 GHz, which makes it the first Penryn-based Core 2 Duo chip to accomplish that. The P9700 and P8800 are “performance kickers” that pack a whole lot of super-fast cache memory.

The SU2700 is aimed at ultra-thin laptops, which is where Intel predicts a “boom” this year. Decent performance and low-power is the key here.
