It hasn't taken very long for solid state drives to reach the point where most mainstream memory manufacturers now offer some form of the device. Today's roundup includes reviews on offerings from G. Skill and Kingston. The next logical extension of the solid state drive is the use of DDR RAM in place of flash memory. While price and capacity are still issues with flash-based SSDs, the same constraint is even more applicable to DDR RAM-based drives. The solid state drive from DDRdrive is limited to 4GB but puts up some impressive numbers. Our roundup also includes several videocard reviews along with several others covering cases, memory, mousepads and more.
