OCZ Z-Drive benchmarked
CHARLIE'S RADAR picked up an OCZ device at CeBIT the other day, the Z-Drive. IT Review, however, managed to score a unit and benchmarked it. Word of warning: forget everything you've seen of SSD performance, this little piggy delivers >700MB/s average write performance...
OCAholic was lucky enough to get one of Asus' new Rampage II Gene motherboards which squeezes an X58 chipset into a micro-ATX mobo format. Lots of potential.
R&B Mods has a new type of fan design from Evercool, it's the Rifling Fan, which encases a 92mm fan in an 80mm mounting structure. This gets you some extra CFM and quietness for the same real estate.
TweakTown is looking at the Razer Carcharias gaming headset. At $79.99 they aren't cheap, but they have a bevy of features that make your life so much easier in-game.
Asus' N50VN 15.4-inch artsy notebook is on review at Tech Gage. It's an overall high-performing notebook with Splashtop instant-boot OS included and a bunch of pre-installed software. Worth a look.
Dragon Steel Mods is reviewing the JerkStopper laptop power cord retention kit. Like Apple's only not so refined, we think. Not universal, but seems to work...
OC Inside in Germany has updated their overclocking database with some new items such as the Phenom II... should fill up more with CPUs as you chaps go there and post.
Pocketables had the privilege of testing all configurations of the Sony VAIO P "netbook". They've posted benchmarks to five different combos of the device. You can figure out your bang-for-buck ratio, there.
MacWorld, on the other hand, has thrown some benchmarks at the renewed Mac Minis. The new systems can even play some older games at about 30fps.
Laptop Mag has the Dell Inspiron Mini 10. Joanna is looking at a great device with lacklustre battery life which spoils the end result.
G.Skill has been putting out some serious kit like this 3x1GB DDR3-1600 CL8 memory. Benchmark Reviews had a look at it and gave it its seal of approval, despite the high price.
Digital Trends has a review of the TRENDnet TV-M7 Wireless IP Monitor. This looks like your traditional LCD photo frame, but it's an IP cam monitor that controls up to 16 simultaneous cameras. Only one camera included in the pack, tho'. µ

Does this mean he was just using the RAM of the OCZ Z-drive?
Can anyone check this to see from the screenshots, I'm sure the first test always uses 256MB size for testing?
@MrGiggleNutz, ssj4Gogeta.
This is the first time Drashek actually makes complete sense and you take the opp to knock him. Give the guy some cred man! If you read it through, what will shock you is that you see "drashek" at the end...
You know that thing you do when you're reading the comments and as you get through the first half of the very first line, you scan down to the end to see if it's a Drashek post, and if it isn't then you go back up to top, but then if it IS, you just skip it altogether?...
Well that didn't happen today, and I'm pleased... ...for this... moment... So please, get off the dude's case. Defragging the entire system in 3 seconds is pointlessly damaging for SSDs but MADDD MAD!! and opening all Microsoft Office apps in 0.5 seconds is an Office worker's/power lover's dream. yeaaaaaa, thx 4 the scoop Ultie! :)
You actually expected drashek to make any sense?? LOL This must be the first time he's got a reply.
As a fellow INQ reader, I think it's my duty to warn you of "Acquired Drashek Dissociation Syndrome" which results from long exposure to Drashek's headache-inducing posts. He's started making more sense lately, but Google for drashek and then click on "more results from inquirer.net and you'll know what I'm talking about.

.... also Drashek I recommend you spend less time commenting and more time learning English.
Of Course These Are Predicted Speeds, Yet Heres Faster Than That: Geeks at Samsung took 24 256GB SSD (Solid State Drives) and hooked them together into a monster RAID array. The results are very impressive indeed.
The setup could hit transfer speeds of over 2GBps. In real world terms this translates into:
Being able to open ALL Microsoft Office apps in 0.5 seconds
Open 53 programs installed on the system in 18 seconds
Defrag the entire system in 3 seconds Now Figure Above Art is natively Faster than Samsung 220 Mb/s by 4X & Up To 8 Gb/s? Flurries Tonight W/BIG Bucks & Animation Systems of Incredible Richness. Its' This or 1- Lambroughini HubCap, err, NeTToP. TS drashek
