8,16,32 GB Flash drives review

Due to I have bought some multimedia devices (1080i mkv usb player) and the files from my hard disk takes a lot of time copying and reading in usual flash drives. The HD files with huge Mbps from my Canon HV20 are actual problems I try to avoid. I have made a chart from multiples sources, reviews and prices because I have not found any benchmark of this kind. I have not included Buffalo neither Transcend due to I have not found any decent review or benchmark. Might be Buffalo has a chance, who knows. Well, take a look:

Take care that I have done from Internet sources, I am not responsible of the data showed before, It's only sharing information. Those are my conclusions:

16GB:After analyzing the scores (Read1+Read2+Write1+Write2)/Price, we take care that a 16 GB is the best one (Patriot 8GB can be the first one), and as you see it has a really interesting price. As you see the OCZ Rally2 16GB has the half speed on writing so there is no doubt.

32GB:About 32GB now OCZ wins, I am not sure why the writing speed vs the 16GB is so huge. Of course I haven't the flash drives to test them, but the technology could have changed. In case of doubt, followint this is Patriot again.

08GB:In the 8GB flash drives, I am sure that Patriot wins, then Corsair Survivor GT (may be the Voyager GT too), and after the Sandisk, which is not typical in this kind of charts. Well, I hope the analysis helps you because now I know that I have to buy the Patriot 16GB, because 8GB could be little today.

Preparing a new article

After so much time, I have a new idea for an article that is not only visually great, it has extreme functionality. The idea is a new fresh styles and UI for making forums, because the typical style of the forums when they grow is unhandle, so my new article will be a silverlight developed forum in a new mind style.
I hope have time enough to give it form and publish it before the end of the year, I am not to telling you more details to do not have copiers. But be sure a great article is coming.

If you have not seen my articles, take a look here. Have a nice weekend

Computer madness

As you know I do not usually add contents like the following, but this is so sci-fi:

The SDD is deprecated, yes it's true. The Blu-Ray, the CPUs, the GPU is deprecated and all the 1st level future is old-fashioned. Here I show you the last amazing science-fiction that you could never imagine. A PCI-Express SSD that reads a photoshop file of 750 MB in 26 seconds, and 256 videos playing on the screens as piece of cake.

Here is the sci-fi-pci-sdd. In a few years we will see a CPGPU of 300x300mm processor with 16 GB SSDRAM 500 GB SSDISK. That means all inside the processor.

Proyecto interesante de aprendizaje por superación

Se trata de un proyecto, del estilo de fichas, pregunta con respuesta, he aprendido en un día (en unas horas) 85 símbolos kanji (impresionante, ¿verdad?), os recomiendo la visita:

Webtablet specificacions

I think the best way to add components is inside a spreadsheet, here I show my idea:

Webtablet

Maybe you hate being printing pdfs, and webs to take a look them at night, or reading in your laptot, and seeing that a tablet pc costs more than $2500, today I have seen an interesting project: techcrunchit webtablet I have add some specifications:

harddisk OCZ Rally2 8GB USB or A-Data 4GB Compact Flash
motherboard MX800LX2D http://www.bcmcom.com/bcm_product_mx800lx2.htm
memory A-DATA 1GB 184-Pin
screen ?

the motherboard is the latest fanless I have find on the web, and it can be connected directly to 12V.

I think two possibilities,

1.- use a USB as a hardisk (I do not know if the bios can boot from USB)
with a wireless module on the CF module.
2.- use a USB wifi module with a CF hardisk.

Both kind of wifi modules has antenna conector, so is possible to extend the wifi range.

I think the biggest issue in this project is a cheap 800x600 or 1024x768 SVGA panel up to 100$ with A4 size, I have found this kits:

12.1'':

http://www.fujitsu.com/downloads/MICRO/fcai/touchpanels/7_wire_standard_ds_rohs.pdf

59$ the 12.1 model

15'': http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?qs=3gJN1c9na9e4AD7syQ1Zww%3d%3d
with touch for 123$

SO IS POSSIBLE, if you know interesting info reply in the forum

New style

Well this noon I was updating the blog and I saw there was a grey layer over the blog and it only appeared on the IE (as always), the issue is inside the script of analytics because when I remove it, all works, but I have to use it, so I decide trying changing the template, after hours I found this interesting one, so now I can continue programming. I have added a visit counter too, let's see how it works
