  • Abstract:  SSD drives are slowly getting bigger, more quickly they are becoming lower priced. So is now the time to get one? Certainly the PC/notebook units I have reviewed that have at least a small SSD drive show a huge increase in booting speed....

  • The drive is available at RM 299 but it doesn't come with an installation kit, and yet it costs more than the Intel 330 series of the same size that comes with an installation kit (RM 269)! I didn't buy an Intel 330 series because I already have one, so I...

  • La sensación que nos deja este SSD es muy positiva, por un precio muy limitado tenemos un SSD que puede llevar a nuestro PC a nuevas cotas de velocidad o resucitar PCs que parecían avocados a la chatarra. Esta es la capacidad de los SSDs, la revolución qu...
