Build your own SSD cards

FRENCH SITE, ADNPC.net, has a review of Acard's ANS-9012 SDHC/SSD drive. Yes, SDHC slots with a 2.5-inch SATA format so you can use off-the-shelf components to build your own drive. Six SDHC slots took 4GB 133x SDHC cards each and delivered some very reasonable performances. Innovative, but you could do better with "standard" SSD drives.

The 3D Professor has some new workstation graphics in the form of an Nvidia Quadro FX3800. It is a much-needed update to the FX3800 that now includes multi-OS support for SLI and a single slot configuration.

TT Hardware in France is testing the new Acer Aspire One D150. The lighweight 10-inch netbook claims a 7h 45min battery life, which TT has confirmed. Now that's more like it.

HP's Pavilion dv3510nr is reviewed at Notebook Review. Despite it's gray metallic aesthetics, the 13.3" notebook specs read like a Macbook... but at just $999 it does sound like a better deal.

IT Pro in the UK is testing the Sun Storage 7410 Unified Storage System. Apparently it's the proverbial dog's danglers of enterprise storage. Go figure.
