With USB 3.0 taking off in recent years we have the emergence of devices coming pre-built and pre-configured for the new standard. USB 2.0 is still alive no doubt, but focus has shifted to its much faster successor which has almost become part of mainstream technology. As readily available as USB 2.0 is, its downfalls are readily apparent. When 25MB/s …

A week or so ago, we published a review of the MyDigital BP4 that was ‘ a wolf in sheeps clothing’ in a way as it was a 120GB SSD with an exterior label claiming to be 240GB.

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, …

Crucial Technology today announced the imminent release of their Crucial V4 SSD. Crucial’s new V4 will be equipped with a SATA 2 interface, underscoring the demand for lower end SSDs in the marketplace.
