Review 2008

Din dorinta de a avea temperaturi mai scazute ale procesorului, maniacii se apuca de lapping (lapping=slefuire fina a suprafetelor in vederea obtinerii unui luciu gen oglinda; cu cat este mai plana suprafata de contact intre procesor si cooler, cu atat mai bun transferul termic si cu atat mai mici temperatura procesorului ... si intr-un final: cu atat mai mare intervalul de overclocking) ... al coolerului, al procesorului ... inca nu si al neuronului.

OCZ a anuntat seria CORE V2 de SSD-uri care stabilesc noi recorduri de viteza.

"OCZ continues the trend of enabling consumers with the latest in cutting edge solid state disc technology with the introduction of the new Core V2 SSD," said Ryan Petersen, CEO of the OCZ Technology Group. "As SSD technology progresses, OCZ will continue to release updated and enhanced solutions to ensure our customers stay on the leading edge. The new Core V2 drives offer consumers and system integrators increased capacities up to 250GB, improved read and write performance and faster seek time, all coupled with a new mini USB port empowering customers with the ability to further improve performance and compatibility by updating firmware in the future."

OCZ Technology Group a lansat astazi seria Core de drive-uri SSD SATA II 2.5-inch.


Seria CORE ofera performanta si fiabilitatea drive-urilor SSD la un pret pe gigabyte cu 50% mai mic decat al competiei. Astfel OCZ ofera solutii accesibile si mai performante decat traditionalele hard-disk-uri (cu parti mecanice).

"SSDs offer higher performance, reliability, and energy efficiency than conventional HDDs but the cost variance has limited adoption of vastly superior SSD technology, until now," said Ryan Petersen, CEO of OCZ Technology. "It is our mission to deliver the highest performance products to consumers at reasonable prices, and with the release of the Core Series SSDs we have done exactly that."

OCZ Core Series Solid State Drives enable enhanced productivity in everyday computing and intensive multi-tasking applications. Perfect for notebooks, the Core Series is ideal for energy-efficient mobile computing to extend battery life, increase access time, and provide a durable alternative to conventional hard disc drives with superior shock resistance. High capacities and low power consuming NAND flash technology provide the necessary performance and battery life boosts generated by the proliferation of mobile gaming and new ultra-thin laptops. With fast access and seek times combined with excellent reliability, the OCZ Core Series SSDs are the answer for consumers demanding this latest storage technology.

In zilele urmatoare OCZ va lansa o noua serie de hard-disk-uri SSD foarte rapide si accesibile (la momentul acesta) in capacitati de 32, 64 si 128 GB.

Drive-urile se bazeaza pe memorii de tip SLC, au un format de 2.5 inch si folosesc pentru transfer interfata SATA II. Viteza de citire se va situa intre 120 si 143MB/s, iar viteza de scriere va atinge viteze intre 80 si 93MB/s. Unitatile sunt concepute sa reziste la socuri de 1500G.

Noile drive-uri au codurile OCZSSD2-1C32G, OCZSSD2-1C64G si OCZSSD2-1C128G si vor fi disponibile in magazine incepand cu saptamana viitoare. Drive-ul de 32GB este deja listat la un magazin din Germania la pretul de 149€, cel de 64GB costa 229€, iar drive-ul cel mai mare, de 128GB, va avea un pret de 399.99€.

SSD-urile sunt disponibile pentru cumparare: 32GB, 64GB si 128GB.

OCZ Technology Group a anuntat disponibilitatea noilor kit-uri 3GB SO-DIMM optimizate PC2-5400, permitand utilizatorilor un upgrade in functie de necesitatile lor.



Pentru cei e vor un upgrade de la 2GB RAM fara a plati o suma prea mare pentru un kit de 4GB, kit-urile OCZ 3GB SODIMM sunt o alternativa excelenta.

"The separation of the virtual memory address space into kernel and user memory allows up to 2GB of memory to be accessible as user memory in a 32-bit operating system," commented Dr. Michael Schuette, VP of Technology Development at OCZ Technology. "Consequently, the total memory space needs to be larger than 2GB in order to accommodate the operating system and reserved memory areas for integrated on-board devices, without compromising the user memory. The new 3GB kits match these requirements without adding redundancy at additional cost and increased power consumption that would decrease battery life," Dr. Schuette, continued.
