Jesuits - gadget 118 - Netgear ReadyNAS NVX

http://www.thetechstop.net/?page_id=985

The Netgear ReadyNAS Pro was the fastest Network Attached Storage box we’ve ever had in the lab. With 6 drive bays, dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, and enough CPU horsepower to run pretty much any service you might need on your network, it set the bar for SMB to Small Enterprise class storage.

Still, the Pro wasn’t for everybody. Some wanted the same kind of performance in a smaller, more energy-efficient package… well say o to the NVX.

SSD Solid State SATA Drive Upgrade for Apple MacBook

http://mac-ssd-drives.com/ A low-price SSD disk drive upgrade for my aging 1st generation Core Duo MacBook proved easy and fast do to. Taking advantage of a rebate, I found a bargain on a 30GB cheap Solid Series MLC solid state drive from OCZ for under $75 and installed a clean OS X 10.5 Leopard onto it in half the time it’d normally take.

To maximize performance, I also doubled the RAM in my MacBook to minimize disk swaps to virtual memory. Current SSD drive technology tends to read data far faster than it writes, so minimizing virtual memory swapping by maxing out installed RAM is smart.

This particular SSD model claims read speeds of about 150mb/sec, Writes around 90mb/sec - which easily beats most hard drives hands down. For higher performance - check out the specs on the new rip snortin’ Apex and Vertex series SSD’s from OCZ at http://www.ssd-solid-state-drives.com/
