Corsair, a worldwide designer and supplier of high-performance components to the PC gaming hardware market, today announced the immediate availability of the Force Series 3 SSD Notebook Upgrade Kits. The kits, available in sizes of 120 GB and 240 GB, provide users with an easy, affordable way to upgrade their laptops to a solid-state drive (SSD) for improved performance, battery life, and reliability.

Corsair SSDs provide significant advantages over standard hard drives. The solid-state design enables SSDs to deliver faster data read and write speeds which can reduce software load and PC startup times. And because SSDs have no moving mechanical parts, they help laptops run cooler, run longer on batteries, and resist data loss from bumps.

Force Series 3 SSD Notebook Upgrade Kits simplify the process of upgrading a notebook from a hard drive to an SSD drive. The kit includes a USB-to-SATA cable and easy-to-use migration software for transferring existing operating system, application, and data files from an old hard drive to the new SSD. The new SSDs come in a slim 7 mm high case designed to fit in most space-constrained laptops.

RunCore, the leading manufacturer of high-performance and rugged solid state drives (SSDs), today introduced its latest consumer-grade SSD for ultrabooks and MacBook Air, the Rocket Air SSD.

As moderns laptops are designed ever thinner and lighter to be more energy-saving and easier to carry, demand for improved storage performance is also increasing at the same time. In order to deliver both these advantages, the RunCore Rocket Air SSD is ultra-thin in size, yet provides superb performance. With its internal MLC flash and consumer-grade operating temperature, the RunCore Rocket Air SSD is particularly targeting thin laptops like ultrabooks as well as MacBook Air.

RunCore’s Rocket Air SSDs are almost a half-size of conventional 2.5” SSDs without case. It is also compatible with mid-2011 MacBook Air laptops and offers nearly 4x the capacity of the original factory SSDs. With the SATA III interface and Tier 1 Toggle Synchronous NAND, the RunCore Rocket Air SSD offers data transfer rates of over 500MB/s to cater to the requirements of enthusiasts and users who seek for higher storage capacity and greater performance.

ADATA Technology, a leading manufacturer of high-performance DRAM modules and NAND Flash storage application products, today announced the launch of new Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) and Secure Digital Extended Capacity (SDXC) Ultra High Speed I (UHS-I) U1 memory cards. These latest additions to the company’s Flash storage lineup bring breakthrough performance in speed and capacity, and are expected to strengthen the company’s already formidable Premier Pro memory solutions.

ADATA’s new Premier Pro SDHC and SDXC cards make the most of the UHS-I specification, providing read/write speeds up to 95/45MB per second for the 16, 32 & 64 gigabyte capacity cards. This remarkable transfer performance is combined with data protection features required by expert users, including: X-ray proof construction, resistance to extreme temperatures, error correcting code (ECC) and write-switch protection functions. 

According to Ray Chu, Product Manager at ADATA: “The faster transfer speeds of these Premier Pro cards will optimize performance for photography professionals, especially in continuous burst mode shooting and high dynamic range (HDR) imaging capture. Furthermore, they are designed and engineered to ensure reliability and durability of captured images in a variety of digital formats.” The larger capacities of the new cards will mean less need to change cards during long photo shoots. ADATA provides a lifetime warranty for all SDHC and SDXC cards.
