Thermaltake Max 5G Hard Dirver Enclosure

December 31st, 2010 Jhon 4 comments

In general, the hard days of better life is not good, we are not very concerned about, anyway, have a front case fan blowing on it towards them is not it? But the hard fact is an impairment rate is very high computer parts, and in some extent, the impairment is the most painful time (think, your music, movies, pictures, and you download all the other important information gathering Will be gone). Therefore, in order to drive the best protection, the most cool work environment, Thermaltake introduced a hard drive, called Max 5G enclosure. In addition to the high transmission speed of USB 3.0, SATA 3.0 support, and LED lights outside (not how the line?), the biggest feature of course is that it’s a big fan of the two.

Estimated price is $52, although in winter relatively more friendly on the hard drive, but with hot air to blow out of the warm phone when it seems also a good idea.

ProForm Trailrunner 4.0 embedded Android systems

Individuals not familiar with the brand treadmill, ProForm naturally not heard, but just search a bit, China still has to sell this brand of treadmill. But have to say that ProForm is really very talented at the launch of ProForm Trailrunner 4.0 product, but still have the Android system, which was so diao. With the above 10-inch panel screen, in addition to the traditional heart rate monitor, time, sports programs (although that 32 there are many, but for my own use when the thing is to have the opportunity to custom high-yourself adjustment) Some others did not in, you can also use wireless mechanism to look at the news, send and receive email, look at videos and so on.

During your running, doing so much work is all up to your own. Watching movie is good, but sending and receiving email is too hard. Of course, to say the most important application, to personal point of view, nature is a combination of Google Maps that point, when you consider only tell you the time in the running for a few miles and tell you where to start off, you went where, apparently The latter is more interesting than the former (if it can also simulates the way you run the slope would be more perfect.) Manufacturers made a iFit Live Google Maps to do with process and should be regarded as the treadmill is one killer application of it.

But the price, I think many people should still choose the traditional treadmill will come back to it. Asking price $2,999.

Intel Released 310 series mini-SSD with mSATA Interface

December 30th, 2010 Jhon 4 comments

Intel’s new SSD quietly released! However, not all the long-awaited successor to X25-M, 34nm models of new technology, but use a mini-SATA (mSATA) interface, a new version, and called the 310 series. mSATA SATA interface is a standard mini-version of the mini PCI-E interface through the transmission signal, the transmission speed to support 1.5Gbps, 3Gbps mode. With this mini connector, Intel 310 series solid-state hard drive is very slim figure, measurements of size only 51 × 30 × 5.8 mm, roughly the equivalent of a coin, the volume is only 9.5 mm thick 2.5-inch standard for about 11%, compared 1.8-inch mini size is also only about one-fifth, but not to the weight of 10 grams, almost no feeling in hand.

Specifications, Intel 310 series solid-state drive offers 40GB, 80GB capacity versions of both, where the former and 2.5-inch X25-V 40GB universal almost exactly the same, are continuing to read 170MB/s, continued to write 35MB/s, 4KB Random Read Take 25000 IOPS, 4KB Random Write 2500 IOPS, idle power consumption 75mW, read and write power consumption 150mW.

80GB version is roughly equivalent to X25-M 80GB, 4KB random read and write performance are 35000 IOPS, 6600 IOPS, power above idle and read, but continued to read and write speed into a 200MB/s, 80MB/s, is different from the later Who 250MB/s, 70MB/s.

But Intel 310 series and will not appear in the retail market, but on direct shipping to notebook manufacturers pre-installed, the first is the Lenovo ThinkPad series. Interestingly, this new Mini can be used with 2.5-inch solid state drives with mechanical hard drives for notebook also brought SSD + HDD with dual-drive hybrid program.

Prices, 40GB, 80GB 310 price of SSDs are $99, $179, slightly more expensive in the corresponding volume of 2.5-inch models.

NB550D follows the NB520 metal shell, still a 10.1-inch models, the overall dimensions of 261.9 × 189.5 × 17-35.5 mm, weight 1.32 kg, the appearance of the color lime green, orange, tan, three, but LED-backlit LCD screen resolution Rate may still be 1024 × 600, as Acer, MSI’s high-definition levels of 1366 × 768, Fortunately, HDMI output interface also provided.

Internal configuration, NB550D and Acer AO 522 uses the same Ontario C-50 APU processor, clocked at 1.0GHz, integrated DX11 graphics core Radeon HD 6250, TDP 9W. Others include 250GB 5400 rpm hard drive, 1GB DDR3 RAM, Fast Ethernet, 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN, Bluetooth 3.0, VGA camera, two Harman Kardon speakers, three USB 2.0, the six-cell battery for the Lithium-ion, maximum life 9.5 hours, pre-installed operating system, Windows 7 Starter Starter Edition.

Toshiba will also release the first quarter of next year this Fusion Internet, but the exact price is unknown.

Leading storage vendors Other World Computing (OWC) today announced a capacity of up to 12TB of external storage products, models of “Mercury Elite-AL Pro Qx2″, 3TB internal hard drive by the four components. According to specification table, OWC using Oxford 936DS control chip and from the Hitachi Deskstar 7K3000, single block capacity of 3TB, horizontal speed as 7200RPM, Cache 64MB, by combining hardware RAID 5 arrays can also be through the front panel switch Re-configured as RAID 0/1/10, NRAID Span and many different modes, transmission interface provides a eSATA 3Gbps, IEEE1394a 400Mbps, IEEE1394b 800Mbps, USB 2.0 480 Mpbs.

In fact, Hitachi Deskstar 7K3000 SATA 6Gbps high-speed interface itself, but still remain in the OWC SATA 3Gbps, and there are no USB 3.0, also because there is no network interface, it is not like Seagate BlackArmor NAS 440 to use as a NAS.

The large-capacity HDD enclosure with aluminum wire drawing process, the overall size of 245.11 × 176.78 × 134.84 mm and weighs 3.9 kg, the operating system supports Windows XP/Vista/7, Mac OS 8.6-9.2.2/10.x, and in particular Support system backup technology Apple Time Machine.

A / V editing, backup, photography, music, graphics and other relevant parties can consider the current price of $ 1,399.99, three-year warranty.
