RAIDing four Warp 2 SSDs

Daily Wibble Toys for the boys

IF THERE EVER was a treat for the speed freak, Tweak Town has it. Cameron's RAIDed together four very fast Patriot Warp 2 SSDs and come up with 660MB/s of transfer rate...

HIS' IceQ4 HD 4850 is being tested at XS Reviews. The card has a very good cooler that brings those high temps all the way down.

Hi Tech Reviews has the famous Antec 1200 "ultimate gaming case" on review. It's got fans coming out of every orifice, and is essentially a gigantic wind tunnel.

Guru3D is going for a new chassis dubbed the Silentium T3 ECO 80. As you can imagine it's all about shutting your PC up, which it does...

OC Mod Shop is also looking at HTPC cases, namely the GlacialTech Altair A381 case. It's extremely quiet, and the iMon module is awkward but very useful.

Benchmark Reviews is having a go at the Asus-branded ENGTX285 TOP. Top usually stands for "overclocked", which in this case means a blazing fast card.

Thrashing Reviews reviewed Dell's ultra-portable E4200 12.1-inch laptop, a petite business laptop with a long battery life.

Corsair's tri-channel DDR3-1600 is being tested at Fudzilla. It still carries a premium, but it offers very good performance.

Taking USB thumbdrives into eSATA territory might've been the best thing OCZ did with its OCZ Throttle 32GB.

PC Stats has na odd one, the Biostar Tpower N750 nForce 750a motherboard. It supports SLI, but also has a Geforce 8200-class IGP soldered on. Wonder if we can get PhysX off of that?

Hi Tech Legion is reviewing something we haven't seen in quite a while: a Diamond All-in-Wonder HD Premium TV Tuner card. It's also a capable HD 3650 card for some basic 3D performance.

Overclock3D is taking the budget Crossfire road with a couple of Gigabyte HD 4670 512MB cards. It's a good deal in Crossfire-friendly games.

Overclockers Club has a rather pricey proposal for you. A SilenX IXG-80HA2 VGA cooler. It's $59.95 for the passive bit and another $24.95 for the fans. Silent too.

ECS' reasonably priced (for a Core i7 board) X58B-A Black Series motherboard is on review at Bjorn3D. Good features and build quality, says Austin.

OC Inside is looking at a Gigabyte iSolo 230 PC case. It looks plain enough, but it has some nifty features that you usually see in higher-end cases.

Silent PC Review got hold of a nice looking yet cheap mini-ITX case from Apex, the MI-008. Although it's quiet, the power supply is a bit inefficient.

Some speedy OCZ SLI DDR3-2000 (2x1GB) memory is on review at OCIA. You'll need a chipset to go with the EPP2.0 or a highly-overclockable X48 one. µ

We Asked for IT, We Got IT.

660 Mb/s is FAST. We Asked for 333 Mhz/s & mains went up to near 500Mb/s. Now SSD Will carry on to Memory. ?DDR3 is even faster? 5,480 Mb/s or so final peak on Main?(with this array) This will make Graphics like Strawberry Cheese Cake for Top Ender. Tree Dirkie Tree+. STeWie Drashek

eSATA flash drive

I wish they had tested Win7 beta or even Vista/XP installed on that drive. I wonder what the loading times would be like.
