The growing trend in technological advancement these days is either going green or going secure. With the BlackArmor USB Hard Drive, Maxtor steered its path towards the latter.

The Extreme III Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo is SanDisk’s latest release, and is not exactly an ordinary memory stick. The card enforces its name by supporting an extreme 8Gb of storage space and a 30MBps read and write ability. (more…)

Samsuns has announced that they will release their first 256GB SSD in September, this year. I can say that it’s very fast as the read speed is about 200MBps and the sequential write is of about 160Mbps. We expect that the MLC-flash SATA II drive to be very expensive and probably that’s why they didn’t say anything bout the price. Their announcement includes information about a 1.8-inch version which is scheduled for Q4 of this year.

Seagate announced that they will begin commercializing the new 7,200-rpm, 320GB SATA disk with 16MB cache, despite the fact that Fujistsu and Hitachi have announced first. The hard-drive is called the Momentus 7200.3 and from now on it’s available on Dell’s XPS M1730 and soon will be available for all Alienware laptops. Actually, the Momentus is the first 7,200-rpm, 320GB hard-drive for mobile computing and for about $46, the XPS M1730 will get the upgrade over the 5,400-rpd, 320GB.

Mtron is probably one of the best storage vendor in the world and the battleship SSD RAID array is really cool. Now they are going to launch the Pro 7500 series of the SSD which Mtron labeled as the fastest on the market. They are almost right because the Greenhouse DH-SSDGD has the same 130MB/s read speed, but the 120MB/s write speed is definitely the fastest ever. I am pretty sure that these SSD’s will cost too much for our pockets.
