Super Talent SuperCrypt Secure USB 3.0 Flash Drive Review
Everything USB posted a review on Super Talent SuperCrypt Secure USB 3.0 Flash Drive.

When it comes to portable drives, especially "flash drives" some people have a need for speed while others value security above all else. Then there is the third class of people who want it all; they want speed, security, portability AND ease of use that only a flash drive can offer. For this elite clientele, Super Talent has you covered with their SuperCrypt USB 3.0 flash drive. Is this a drive that can really be all things to all people? Read on for my full review.

The Verdict:
The 32GB Super Talent SuperCrypt USB 3.0 flash drive is a marvelous piece of engineering. It really is phenomenally fast, decently secure and is pretty darn easy to use. If you have a need for relatively safe & secure, yet fast storage the Super Talent SuperCrypt is recommended. The only caveat is its large size and the encryption relies on ECB.

The Good:
+ Impressive performance
+ LED indicator is not annoyingly bright
+ LED indicator glows red in USB 2.0 mode and blue when in USB 3.0 mode
+ Hardware based encryption should be good enough for most non-ultra sensitive data
+ Easy to use software
+ Runs fairly cool

The Bad:
- Price
- Short warranty
- Blocks adjacent ports
- Requires USB 3.0 to get the most from it
- So fast your SATA drive is going to be the transfer speed bottleneck
- Turns into paperweight if password is lost
- ST custom drivers need to be downloaded
- Uses AES in Electronic Code Block mode - faster but not anywhere near as secure which really doesn't properly harness power of AES
- Won't be FIPS certified where it uses ECB
- Need to step up to Pro for non ECB security
- No included extension cable

Gateway SX 2311-03 Small Form Factor PC Review
TechSpot posted Gateway SX 2311-03 Small Form Factor PC Review

The Small Form Factor system that we'll be reviewing today, part of Gateway's SX desktop series, is nearly identical in form and fit to the Acer Aspire X1200 we looked at nearly two years ago. Of course, the internals have been beefed up to meet today’s standards, but the layout and styling cues are very similar.

The SX series from Gateway is one-third the size of a traditional desktop tower yet it still packs a sizable punch for its small footprint. Exact dimensions are 10.43" x 3.93" x 12.4" with a weight of only 12 pounds (5.44 kg). Pricing starts at $520 with both Intel and AMD processor options that can scale up to $600 for a quad-core system like the one in our hands.

The SX2311-03 features an AMD Phenom II X4 820 processor operating at 2.8 GHz, 4GB of DDR3 memory (expandable to 8GB), a 1TB hard drive, Nvidia GeForce 9200 graphics, a 16x DVD burner and a 64-bit copy of Windows 7 Home Premium. Read on as we explore the Gateway SX2311-03 in closer detail.

ASUS Cine5 5-Channel PC Speaker Review
Bigbruin.com posted a review on the ASUS Cine5 5-Channel PC Speaker

The ASUS Cine5 has quite a few things going for it. First and foremost, it's footprint is significantly smaller than a traditional 5.1 speaker system so you don't need to plan out where you are going to fit all the pieces. If you are using it at your desk it should fit nicely right under your widescreen LCD monitor, and the sleek style will have it looking right at home at the same time.

Asus 14" U43F Bamboo Core i5 Notebook Review
HotHardware.com posted a review on the Asus 14" U43F Bamboo Core i5 Notebook

There was a significant influx of CULV based notebooks earlier in the year, due in part to their excellent balance between power, performance, and price. While CULV based machines were a good fit for many users who didn't want to sacrifice much performance for longer battery life, CULV notebooks are being introduced at a less rapid pace these days. Sure, Intel has low-voltage versions of the mobile Core 2010 processor lineup, but the Core i3 and Core i5 have proven that they don't consume an insane amount of energy as-is, and the performance bump from using a standard mobile chip is definitely noticeable.

That's just one of the reasons we're intrigued by Asus' new 14" machine, the U43F. The other is its unique bamboo accents...
