Super Talent Announces First USB 3.0 Flash Drive, Transfer rate 320 MB/s

Posted: 06 Nov 2009 12:58 AM PST

Super Talent Technology has been making a name for itself in the Solid State Drive market with speedy SSDs and its PCIe based RAIDDrive solutions. The company is now announcing that it plans to be the first in the world to ship USB 3.0 flash drives, with first availability at the beginning of December.
The SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface supports transfer speeds up to ten times faster than regular USB 2.0. Although it has a theoretical throughput of 4.8 Gbps, USB 3.0 still uses 8b10 encoding. That overhead means that real world applications will top out at 400 MB/s, still much faster than the typical 35-40 MB/s with USB 2.0.
“This product underscores Super Talent's continued leadership in USB drives." said Super Talent’s COO, Mr. C.H. Lee. "We've developed the world's first mobile USB 3.0 flash drive. It delivers phenomenal performance and it incorporates our own patented technology".
Super Talent’s new RAIDDrive USB 3.0 series uses patented "multiple pairs of differential serial data lines technology" for optimal NAND flash performance. It will transfer data at 200 MB/s using a USB 3.0 port, but it can reach up to 320MB/s using a UAS Protocol driver.
The USB Attached SCSI (UAS) protocol runs over the USB 3.0 interface. The specifications were developed by the USB-IF to enhance the efficiency of USB storage devices. This is supposed to result in higher speeds and more consistent performance, as well as lower CPU utilization for both Hi-Speed USB 2.0 and SuperSpeed USB 3.0 devices.
The new drive uses USB 3.0 hardware from NEC, and will be available in 32GB, 64GB and 128GB capacities. It will be fully backward compatible with all USB ports, but operates at much slower speeds. It measures a 95 x 37 x13 mm, and comes with a limited lifetime warranty. Super Talent states that the new drive will have more than 10 years of data retention.
“SuperSpeed allows USB to meet the transfer demands of modern mass storage devices,” said Yoshiyuki Yamada, Senior Engineering Manager, Custom SOC Solutions Strategic Business Unit, at NEC Electronics America, Inc.
The new drive comes at a good time, as the first motherboards supporting USB 3.0 have just hit the market.Main thing what concerns is pricing and info about that was not yet available.Best thing is installing Windows 7 from high speed usb disks would be damn fast.I am gonna try that once that comes out.

What can article submission script do for you?

Posted: 05 Nov 2009 03:49 PM PST

Article submission scripts save you time by tabulating the reports for you. You want to know those submissions that were successful and those that were not. The reporting should be informative enough so that it gives an indication of why a submission was not successful so that corrective action can be taken.

They can do automatic checking and formatting. Some article directories might have specific requirements for the format of the article and these submission scripts can be set up to produce the final draft of your article in the required format.

Some of these scripts can rotate different summaries for each article. It is not uncommon for article directories to require that a summary be submitted along with actual article. Summaries are oftentimes used in RSS feeds from the various directories. In this case, summaries are the first level of text read by search engine crawlers. So, one can see how important they are and if they are unique, it is even better. There are PHP scripts that utilize a database to store different summaries composed for each article and those summaries are rotated during the submission process. The same concept applies when it comes to the resource boxes associated with an article.

A good article submission script may cost you around 50 bucks but the investment is well worth it, because you will find yourself using it many times over. Which means it will most likely pay for itself within a few weeks if you do a lot of article submissions. If you want you can offer the service to others whom may have the need for it.

Intel Accused of Giving Dell $6 Billion for Exclusivity

Posted: 05 Nov 2009 03:43 PM PST

The state of New York has filed a lawsuit against Intel Corp. accusing the chip giant of paying billions of dollars to computer makers in order to discourage them from using microprocessors by Advanced Micro Devices(AMD). Dell alone allegedly received $6 billion dollars between 2002 and 2007 and sometimes those payments exceeded Dell's profits.
The lawsuit alleges Intel paid computer makers, including IBM and HP, to discourage them from utilizing microprocessors produced by Intel's arch-rival AMD, reports Dow Jones Newswires. For example, as a part of the agreement, Intel compensated below-cost bids against rivals offering AMD-based desktops, servers or workstations by Dell in order to slowdown the increase of AMD's market share.
Under a secret pact named the “Mother of all Programs”, Intel paid Dell a rebate based on the total cost of central processing units the computer maker bought, the lawsuit claims. The percentage of the rebate could fluctuate, but reached up to 16% as Dell mulled over using AMD processors. Moreover, in one fiscal quarter Intel's payments constituted 116% of Dell’s reported net income, according to the lawsuit.
Intel has already faced similar lawsuits in Europe, Japan, South Korea and the U.S., therefore, the current accusations hardly change the situation drastically.Dell, HP and Dell declined to comment, but Intel added that it would defend itself. IBM said it would co-operate with the investigation.I donno if this is true or not but these things could happen.What do you feel ?

What can professional web design service for you?

Posted: 05 Nov 2009 09:37 AM PST

A professional web design service does much more than build websites. They understand that a website is usually a form of advertising for a client and has no value unless its presence is made known through promotional techniques. These promotional techniques are part of what is known as search engine marketing or SEO. They are oftentimes complicated techniques and best left to professional web designers who have experience in knowing which ones are effective as they pertain to a client’s specific website. What are some of the promotional techniques used? Let’s examine a few of the most common ones.

They will submit your website to the major search engines. This step is not as important as it once was because nowadays, search engine crawlers comb the internet and will eventually find your website. But it can still take several months in order to get your website indexed so you can gain some advantages by having your website service do the submission. When they submit your website to these search engines, it is like inviting the crawlers to come visit.

Website promotion includes submission of your site to web directories. Since search engine crawlers visit web directories with greater frequency, it is more likely they will find your website if your web designer lists it in them. One popular web directory where web designers will more than likely list your website is known as the DMOz or otherwise known as the Open Directory Project. To get listed in it is free but your website must be approved by human editors which in and of itself gives it greater credibility with the search engines.

Web designers that do submissions will also do follow-ups. For example, if the web design company submitted your site to several web directories then it might check a month later to see if your site is listed. Successful submissions are those that are not forgotten about. Of course at some point in time, the web designer is not going to check any longer so the task will be up to you.
