1 Day Left – Win an ioSafe Solo 500GB Rugged USB External Hard Drive

Quote: ioSafe is offering up a 500GB Solo to the person that can come up with the most interesting new way to test the disaster protection provided. Between the various reviews conducted around the world, and tests that ioSafe has conducted in-house, the fire and water protection have been challenged rather extensively. But, this doesn’t mean that there aren’t tons of new ways for the device’s disaster protection to be proven. Come up with an interesting new way to test the ioSafe Solo and not only will you win one of your own, but ioSafe just might use your idea to demonstrate the capabilities of the device at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show

IT PRO news – Samsung Galaxy

Quote:
“When we first clapped eyes on the Samsung Galaxy handset (or i7500 as it is known to those with a numeric fetish), we had a bit of déjà vu.
Unboxing the Android-based handset felt much like greeting an old friend you haven’t seen for years who’s changed in appearance but you can’t quite put your finger on why. The Galaxy has all the familiarity of other recent Samsung handsets, but in reality it’s actually quite different.

Patriot Torqx 128GB MLC SSD Review

Quote: “The Torqx performed very well and near or at the top in just about all benchmarks. That being said, benchmarks do not always equate to how the drives perform in the real world and over time. I spent some time playing around on Windows 7 installed on the drive for quite while. I did a lot of multi-tasking, simultaneous file copies and moves, and played a game or two as well. I didn’t notice any problems with stuttering and the system felt very crisp and responsive with Windows booting in less than twenty seconds from completion of BIOS load…”

TweakTown New Content Alert for September 29th 2009

QUOTE: “There are many programs on the market to test hard drives. Personally I would love to use every single one of them in testing, but don’t think I could keep you interested for 30 pages of benchmarks. In the past every hard drive was the same; you had cache, platter speed, platter density and interface, boom, bing, bam, run the tests write it up and call it a day.

Today we are going to walk through the testing procedure for storage here at TweakTown. There are a few categories that will be covered; SSDs, HDDs, RAID controllers, NAS servers and DAS servers. Since our previous AMD Opteron workstation was starting to run into performance issues with the latest round of ultra high performance SSDs, we have built a new workstation and want to thank a few of the companies responsible for helping to get the parts together.”
