Toshiba Q Series Pro SSD Review (256GB) Toshiba Pushes The SSD Price Bar Even Lower @ The SSD Review

The importance of Toshiba in the flash industry cannot be overstated. Toshiba is not only one of the world's largest flash suppliers, but also, they are often recognized as the prime choice when SSD manufacturers are making quality SSDs. Some SSD manufacturers refuse to use anything nut Toshiba NAND flash memory in their SSDs. So where has Toshiba been as a SSD manufacturer? It is no secret that Toshiba was late from the gate in the SSD race right off, but really, why has Toshiba taken so long to mature with respect to both client and consumer SSDs?

High Altitude Balloon Project @ PC Review

PC Review have launched a high altitude balloon to around 100,00ft with the objective of capturing some HD video and pictures from the edge of space. We've also sent up two Lego astronauts, one of which made a cameo spacewalk, as you'll be able to see in the video!

"The aim of this first launch was to test a low-cost design, using only off-the-shelf components, from which we could obtain HD video of near-space. Our overall budget was just over £300, which included some re-usable items such as a video camera and phone. Our equipment broadly consisted of a latex high altitude weather balloon, parachute and a payload containing a small camera, smart phone and a chemical hand warmer to keep the electronics working at low operating temperatures. It's probably as simple as a payload could be but if everything went to plan then we would be able to achieve some fantastic footage. We're also sending two Lego astronauts along for the ride!"
