Best bang for the buck on an SSD drive for MacBook or Apple Mac mini? The latest generation of SandForce controller SSD's - some of which are featured at www.mac-ssd-drives.com really took Apple solid-state disk drive performance to the next level. With large onboard cache, and a highly refined controller, these latest generation SSD's bring WRITE speeds almost on a par with Read speeds. In the past solid-state flash lagged on writes to some degree, but these differences got ironed out in the past year.
And prices have gotten sweet - especially on 120GB-128GB drives. Even some of the top performers are around - or under $2/GB. If you didn't do a Build-To-Order SSD for your last Mac purchased at the Apple Store - consider upgrading to a solid-state drive in your current Mac - you'll be amazed at how silent, smooth and reliable your Mac experience can be.

SuperSpeed BackUp Drives For ANY Mac
Hard drive manufacturers are all-aboard with SuperSpeed USB 3.0 backup drives. Think _Forward_! www.usb3-drives.com - The cost of using a USB3 chipset is so low, many major manufacturers of external hard disk drives are simply using USB 3.0 chips and mini-usb3 ports on their latest drives. Since SuperSpeed USB3 fits the same standard USB 1 and 2 ports - AND FULLY BACKWARD COMPATIBLE - you can buy a future-proof backup drive that's fully backward compatible (at legacy USB 2 speeds) and use it on your NEXT computer that will eventually have USB3 ports built in.
I've always been fond of small, laptop drives. Here, Western Digital's latest Passport series drives have been upgraded to support USB3 for those who can take advantage of it, and are "USB3-Ready" for SuperSpeed computers down the road.

2011 CES and MacWorld Expo - Stay Tuned
Should be lots of interesting Apple, Technology and USB 3.0 SuperSpeed news in the weeks ahead as some of the two most important annual computing and electronics shows hit the state in January. Is 2011 the year of USB3 - I'm betting it is... Well, if Apple drops the ball or USB 3 is delayed - at least CES will be swamped with SuperSpeed product announcements. NO. DOUBT. ABOUT. IT. This USB speed boost is just too compelling (and profitable) for the industry.
