Western Digital and SanDisk work together on Solid State Hybrid Drives
When it comes to storage space on your computer, a couple of names would definitely stand out – for the larger capacity hard drives, you would most probably have one form of Western Digital products lying around, while those who deal with flash based storage might have a slew of SanDisk memory cards lying around somewhere. Well, we are pleased to announce that both Western Digital as well as SanDisk have come together to deliver what they deem to be the world's thinnest 2.5" Solid State hybrid drive that features best-in-class flash memory technology from SanDisk in addition to best-in-class hard drive technology from Western Digital.
SanDisk would be the supplier of a SanDisk iSSD storage device for the Western Digital Black solid state hybrid drive (SSHD), where it makes use of both Western Digital proprietary hybrid technology and industry standard SATA IO technology. The SanDisk iSSD is there to bring about an elegant balance of performance, low power consumption, cost, reliability, and a compact form factor to this SSHD. In a nutshell, customers will not only get to enjoy ample storage space, but they do not have to sacrifice in terms of style, either.
Kevin Conley, senior vice president and general manager of client storage solutions at SanDisk, said, "I am delighted for SanDisk to team up with WD on these exciting new hybrid products. By combining SanDisk's unparalleled flash memory expertise and technology with the hard drive know-how of WD, WD Black SSHDs offer outstanding hard drive-like capacity, and the slim form factor and the level of performance that you will only get with flash memory solutions."
It is said that WD Black SSHDs rely on WD hybrid technology which will blend responsive, intelligent flash memory technology from SanDisk alongside high capacity hard drives from WD, and this particularly powerful combination would greatly improve the PC user experience, where in the end it allows both high capacity and a higher level of performance compared to traditional hard disk drives, and among these characteristics include an increased speed, instant-on and faster application launching.

Etón Corporation has just announced that they have made available recently the Rugged rukus. The name of this particular peripheral sure makes it sound as though it is capable of creating a, well, ruckus, where it comes across as a portable, Bluetooth wireless, solar-powered sound system which should make it a decent candidate for those crazy summer parties that the young folk like to organize. After all, we are talking about the Rugged rukus coming in a durable and IPX4-certified splash-proof design, not to mention being able to play your favorite tunes while simultaneously ensuring that your handheld device remains juiced up and ready for use – as long as the Rugged rukus has not exhausted its battery supplies, that is.
Esmail Hozour, CEO of Etón Corporation, said, "The Rugged rukus is extremely portable and splash-proof, so it's easy to take your tunes with you anywhere and everywhere. Because you're able to charge your smartphone and take advantage of its built-tough design, it's essential gear for any outdoor adventure."
Coming in a lightweight and compact design, the Rugged rukus would be best described as an all-terrain, solar-powered, wireless speaker which was specially designed so that it can be uncompromising and tough without having to sacrifice awesome stereo sound. It is capable of pairing up with just about any other Bluetooth-compatible device out there, delivering crisp stereo sound thanks to a couple of its highly efficient, full-range speaker drivers.
The 20 square-inch high-efficiency solar panel is an alternative to its USB adapter to juice up its internal lithium battery, ensuring that even when you are in the great outdoors with nary a single power plug in sight, the Rugged rukus is still good to go. Thanks to the built-in USB port, you are able to juice up your smartphone to make sure that the tubthumpin' party never stops. It takes approximately 5 hours in direct sunlight so that it can be fully charged, or you can opt for the traditional method of plugging it in, and the power outlet would juice up the $99.99 Rugged rukus in about 2 ½ hours.
Love spending most of your time outdoors rather than indoors? If that is the case, then chances are pretty high that you are used to being mosquito fodder, considering the kind of healthy blood that you carry. Well, you can never quite take your chances with mosquitoes as some of them do carry a potentially life threatening disease, and slathering yourself in mosquito repellent is only half the job done. Enter the $29.95 Portable Tabletop Mosquito Repeller that does according to its namesake – offering you (and those sitting around it) ample relief from the airborne, blood sucking pests whenever you and your family members or mates are in an outdoor setting.
The Portable Tabletop Mosquito Repeller would come across as being a wee bit larger compared to your regular soda can, where this cordless device would stand in an unobtrusive manner, never mind that you have placed it on a patio table or picnic bench. It will still be able to work regardless, automatically emitting the safe, subtle floral scent of geranium, peppermint and lemongrass, which so happen to be plant-derived essential oils which naturally repel mosquitoes, gnats, and midges. This does away with the need for them nasty chemical-based sprays, while its integrated fan would help distribute the repellent in order to provide protection from mosquitos across 15′ sq. of space. A couple of AA batteries would keep this puppy going for up to 8 hours.
Are you one who is afraid of things that go bump in the middle of the night? Do you have a flashlight close to you at all times, so that you are able to identify the funny monsters that live under your bed? If you have a taste for the supernatural, you might want to check out the $19.99 Mr. Ghost EMF Detector For iPhone, where this unique plug and play device is capable of detecting electromagnetic radiation, where it will pair up with a free app so that you are able to explore the unseen.
Considering how you ain't afraid of no ghost (even when you are up against the Marshmallow Man, of course), the Mr. Ghost EMF Detector For iPhone is the ideal accessory for you to tote around. Once you have downloaded the free app, all you need to do is plug Mr. Ghost into your headphone jack, and you can begin to pick up electromagnetic activity on your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad. It is also cool to use when checking the different levels of electromagnetic radiation sources, whether you are at home or at the office, as your eyes are suddenly open to the world of unseen forces which emanate constantly from your TV, video game console, alarm clock, or video camera.
