Latest Reviews

Techno Buffalo
SSDs are fast, and very efficient for the meager tasks we expected of our rigs. When considering your options, size is obviously a big factor, while speed is also something to consider—speed will ultimately determine how quickly your computer launches, etc. We’re running Windows 8 on SSDs, so suffice to say everything is lightning quick.

Gamer Access
The performance enhancements are quite noticeable, especially during video rendering and editing. While editing graphic intensive productions featuring a healthy amount of video and audio layers, the editing process went from freezing often to being almost 100% seamless
