April 26, 2012 Tech Reviews from around the Globe

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 crowd who made it on time.

So today I grabbed the last review to come in on April 25th to highlight today. In this case it is simply a three hour time zone change.

HIGHLIGHT REVIEW

Patriot Memory have a long and proud tradition of providing solid state drives with their own special blend of cutting edge performance at very reasonable price points. The latest addition – the Patriot Pyro SE 240GB – hopes to fill a conspicuously large gap in the middle of their current line of SSDs. While Patriot did indeed have an entry level (Pyro) and enthusiast (Wildfire) models ready to go soon after the SandForce SF2281 controller hit the scene, their mid-tier solution was curiously absent for a long, long time.
