Computex Taipei, also known as the Taipei International Information Technology Show, has grown into one of the world’s major computer and technology fairs. Last year’s trade show brought forth many new coolers and other accessories such as the Thermaltake 23 line, new products from Choiix, and coolers from Enermax.
However, this year has proven to reflect the current economic conditions. The release of new peripherals has been sluggish, with only a few interesting developments. The show has been saturated with tablets aimed at tackling the Apple iPad.
Since the original hard drive was developed by the US Navy back in the 1950’s, much has changed including higher capacities, smaller form factors, and recently the disappearance of moving parts. The development of Solid State Drives (SSD) is one of the more recent ones and SSDs have only lately become affordable for the average consumer.

To test the performance of the A-DATA 32GB XPG SSD, we will, firstly, clone an image of an existing hard drive on to the SSD using the Choiix Air-Through Stash, and, secondly, we will fully benchmark the SSD in real life usage and using synthetic benchmarks.

Just as headphones are your ears when gaming mice and keyboards are your hands and feet. Without your mouse you would not be able to aim, shoot, select, scope and dozens of other actions. Choosing the appropriate mouse is important and unlike in the case of some peripherals, the term “gaming” does make a difference in the world of mice. Basically, gaming mice tend to have higher DPI (Dots per Inch) allowing high velocity movements and immense precision.
Though essential for gaming, gaming mice also tend to cost a few more dollars than your average mouse, at least most people think so, but gaming mice don’t have to be expensive.
