Verbatim InSight Hard Drive Review
Maximum CPU has posted its review of the Verbatim InSight external hard drive

Verbatim computer peripherals are well known, and I have used their computer mice and recordable disks for years. This will be the first hard drive from Verbatim that I have ever used, and it offers a new feature: an always-on "cholesteric" display. It's a very small 2.5" hard drive that is USB powered and operated in a sleek package. This is nothing new, but the drive also includes a microchip that reads the partition information of the drive and displays the partition name and available space on a display.

iStorage Disk Genie Review
XSReviews has reviewed the iStorage Disk Genie encrypted drive

Portable storage security has been quite a hot topic in recent years, especially here in the UK with government officials being rather careless with sensitive materials. To help combat this iStorage have come up with a nice little product designed to keep your portable storage protected.

The Disk Genie comes equipped with a fully functioning keypad allowing a passcode to be inputted when the device is to be used. Should prove an interesting review at least. Let's check it out.

OCZ Vertex 2 Pro 100GB SandForce SF-1500 SSD Review
Legit Reviews takes a look at the OCZ Vertex 2 Pro 100GB SandForce SF-1500 SSD

The OCZ Vertex Series of Solid-State Drives (SSDs) has been without a doubt one of the most successful SSDs released by any manufacturer. When we reviewed the original Vertex 120GB drive in April 2009 we found it to be an amazing SSD that was one of the first on the market that had the ability to do garbage collection and TRIM. It was truly a drive that was better than much of the competition and even today it is a solid performing drive thanks to the Indilinx Barefoot controller. OCZ has been busy working on their next generation SSD products, and rather than using last year's Indilinx Barefoot controller they found a new controller series that they liked from an upcoming SSD controller company called SandForce. OCZ has been testing the SandForce SF-1200 and SF-1500 controllers for months internally and last month during CES they made the formal announcement that OCZ would be bringing out the Vertex 2 series of SSDs using these two new controllers...

Zalman CNPS10X Quiet Heatsink Review
FrostyTech posted Zalman CNPS10X Quiet Heatsink Review

Zalman's CNPS10X Quiet heatsink is equipped with a 120mm fan that ranges inspeed from 1400RPM to 700RPM, which in real world terms means that noise levels are moderate to whisper quiet. As a low noise heatsink the CNPS10X Quiet maintains good thermal levels on Frosty's AMD/Intel test platforms, and at full tilt it qualifies as a performance heatsink.

Vantec eSATA ExpressCard UGT-ST450CB Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the Vantec eSATA ExpressCard UGT-ST450CB

Many years ago it was quite common to find notebook computers sporting PCMCIA cards. If you wanted to add a Token Ring, Ethernet or Modem to your laptop, you had to buy a PC Card that plugged into one of the available slots in the side of the chassis. Even after these devices began to become integrated, there would be new technologies emerge that required purchasing an add-in card, although the need for such expandability slowly waned as USB became the popular choice for external peripherals. With the advent of SSD technology and eSATA interfaces, it has become easy to saturate a measly 60MB/s USB 2.0 connection. Obviously a faster method of transfer is needed and USB 3.0 just hasn't materialized as quickly as we hoped. Thus for review today we have the Vantec Dual eSATA ExpressCard.

AMD last month launched five processor models, three Athlon II's and two Phenom II's, and we're taking a look at one of each.

Let's see how both stack up to the rest of AMD's line-up, and the competition.

HIS Radeon HD 5670 IceQ+ 1GB Video Card Review
TweakTown posted a review on the HIS Radeon HD 5670 IceQ+ 1GB Video Card

It's been ages since we've seen HIS attach a model with its IceQ+ cooling. Over the recent months we've seen more iCooler and reference cards from the company. It's not that there's anything wrong with these models, it's just that when I think of HIS, the first series that comes to mind is the IceQ+ one.

The latest model to get the IceQ+ treatment comes in the form of a HD 5670 which follows up from the HD 5750 model we looked at just recently. Having a look at this particular card, you'll see the IceQ+ cooler that we've seen in the past from other mid-range HIS models in the same series.

Sapphire Radeon HD 5850 Toxic OC Edition Review
OCC has published a review on the Sapphire Radeon HD 5850 Toxic OC Edition

The cooling solution used is Sapphire's proprietary Vapor chamber cooling solution that goes by the name Vapor-X. The cooling solution uses three heatpipes, in addition to the Vapor Chamber, to efficiently pull the thermal load out of the GPU and memory. With the driver controlling the fan speeds, I saw temperatures in the 57 to 59 degree Celsius range, where the reference card I tested came in at 66 degrees Celsius under load. When overclocked, the Toxic peaked at 49 degrees Celsius.

ASUS P6X58D-Premium SATA6G Motherboard Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the ASUS P6X58D-Premium SATA6G Motherboard

ASUS has been a longtime partner to Intel, and both companies have been made better because of their relationship. But when it comes to new technology, sometimes Intel takes a little too long to implement change while ASUS prefers to offer their faithful consumers the options right away. Intel's tick-tock plan doesn't coincide with the technical improvements made to areas outside of processor development, such as SuperSpeed USB-3.0 or Revision 3.x SATA 6.0-Gbps (aka SATA-III) controllers. Most hardware enthusiasts agree that it's awkward to see Intel's "Enthusiast" branded X58-Express chipset paired to older standards while "Mainstream" P55 motherboards enjoy the better and faster new ones. ASUS feels the same way, and now offers their P6X58D-Premium motherboard to forward-thinking enthusiasts who might not want to wait for the launch of Intel's X68-Express platform. In this article, Benchmark Reviews tests several X58-based motherboard against the ASUS P6X58D-Premium in heat-to-head graphics, processor, memory, and SSD storage performance.
