OCZ RevoDrive 3 X2 Review Update

Over the summer we reviewed a pre-production version of the 480GB OCZ RevoDrive 3 X2 SSD. Even though the hardware and firmware were not final builds, the RevoDrive 3 X2 was still incredibly impressive, given the speedy PCIe interface and four SandForce SF-2281 processors.

Seagate 4TB Barracuda XT First Thoughts Review

4TB hard drives are the next step up from the 3TB top capacity that the market has been used to for the last year or so. The problem is, 4TB drives haven’t quite officially hit the market yet and there’s the hard drive shortage problem, so the timing of 4TB drives coming to market is a

OWC Mercury Aura Pro Express 6G Review

There’s little argument that the Apple MacBook Air is a fantastic computer; my bias after using both since the 2010 refresh notwithstanding. If there’s much to complain about with the July 2011 MacBook Air though, it’s that Apple continues to offer two SSDs that vary widely in performance. If you’re unlucky, you get stuck with a Toshiba
