Ultra high speed signed ADATA memory cards

ADATA launches its Ultra high speed (UHS - I) memory cards SDHC and SDXC format in its first Pro range.

The ADATA Technology manufacturer launches its memory cards SDHC and SDXC range first Pro UHS - I U1 (Ultra High Speed) technology to provide reading and writing of data flows very high.

Available in 16, 32 and 64 GB capacity, these memory cards allow to achieve sequential flow of 95 MB/s read and 45 MB/s write. The SDHC and SDXC in the first Pro range are therefore professionals and demanding users.

They also offer protection against x-ray, shock and water, resistance to extreme temperatures, a system of correction (ECC) error and a write-protection switch. These memory cards should be in shops soon at rates not disclosed at this time.

The Samsung 7 Chronos passes to speed

Update of the Chronos Series 7 with processor Intel Ivy Bridge and the Kepler in the mobile version for the graphic part.

Samsung would be about to deliver his new laptop computer equipped with the latest processors Intel Ivy Bridge and coupled to a graphics from NVIDIA, the GeForce GT 640 M. Of a diagonal 15.6 inches and a definition of 1600 x 900 matte finish - finally! -This new laptop will weigh 2.4 kg for correct dimensions (36,21 x 23.85 x 2.39 cm). A hair too thick to be classified Ultrabook the last criteria of Intel, may still slip into a large bag as needed. It is therefore the same as the Chronos Series 7 currently on sale.

       

Moderated by an Intel Core i7-3615QM processor at 2.3 GHz to 6 MB of cache, it will be joined by 8 GB of RAM at 1600 MHz 4 GB directly welded on the motherboard, which offering while a single memory bank of available to increase the size of the memory of the machine. Chipset selected by Samsung is Intel HM76 that supports the WiDi, wireless for a screen display technology or additional TV, but also the ExpressCache technology that uses Korean with a cache of 8 GB also soldered on the motherboard. This will allow the laptop to start very quickly or to come out of hibernation in less than 2 seconds.

For storage, it is a hard disk of 1 To spinning at 5400 t/m. an optical drive is also present for the reading of film or for the installation of various software which still pass on this type of support. On accessories and connectors present on the machine, Samsung provides its new 7 series of two speakers 2 x 2W with a subwoofer additional, a camera of 1.3 megapixel, the Bluetooth 4.0, taken RJ45 supporting gigabit, a sound output to the jack format and its micro with a microphone installed in the packagetwo USB 3.0 ports and a USB 2.0, to complete a farm eight cells (80 Wh) who will happily pass the 1500 cycles of recharge from Korean.

He will be delivered with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit on this product sheet on the Samsung portal, without indication of the actual sale price of the new model. We now await the official launch of the new Chronos Series 7 rafraichi that we look forward to testing. You can always read our test of the model currently sold, to wait.

Can You Get More Space Or Speed From Your SSD?

With the market for solid-state drives continually expanding, we wanted to explore some of the most popular tweaks enthusiasts use to purportedly improve performance and free up capacity. We break out the benchmarks and put them to the test.

Solid-state storage is generally faster than mechanical disks. Sure, once you get down into the 40 GB boot drives, write performance really suffers. But for the most part, SSDs rule. However, they're also much more expensive. Every gigabyte of capacity on your SSD is precious space. And while SSDs are very fast inherently, there are plenty of folks online who'll try to convince you that they can be made even faster with simple adjustments.

Today's story is the product of our own efforts to maximize the amount of useful space you can squeeze from your valuable SSD. We also want to put some of those performance claims to the test using a couple of different drives in order to gauge whether performance-oriented optimizations are specific to a certain vendor's hardware, or if they're universally-applicable. Or, maybe they're entirely untrue, and there's no way to make an SSD any faster.

We'll launch our exploration into the potential of solid-state drive tweaking by testing nine of the most commonly-recommended optimizations we see tossed around once an SSD is up and running with Microsoft's Windows operating system. These include the following:

Disable System RestoreDisable drive indexing Disable the page fileDisable HibernationDisable prefetching in the registryDisable Windows' write cachingDisable the SuperFetch and Windows Search servicesDisable ClearPageFileAtShutdown and LargeSystemCacheAdjust power settings
