OCZ debuts SandForce-driven Onyx 2 SSDs, priced as low as $1.58 per GB[/B]
[quote=Engadget]Tired of waiting for [URL="http://www.engadget.com/tag/SSD/"]SSD[/URL] prices to hover anywhere near [URL="http://www.engadget.com/tag/HDD/"]HDD[/URL] prices? Join the crowd. Regrettably, we're still no closer to that actually happening, but [URL="http://www.engadget.com/tag/OCZ/"]OCZ[/URL] Technology is doing its darnedest to bring solid state storage to more of the masses with its newfangled Onyx 2 range. Available in 120GB and 240GB capacities, these [URL="http://www.engadget.com/tag/SandForce/"]SandForce[/URL]-based drives offer 270MB/s read, 265MB/s write, and up to 10,000 random write IOPS (4k aligned), all without the higher costs that are generally associated with similar multi-level cell (MLC)-based solutions. For those looking to swap out their aging hard drive for an SSD that's not diminutive in terms of storage space, the 120 gigger is listing for $189.99, while the 240GB model is going for $439.99. Hit the links below for more of those nitty-gritty tech details.[/quote]
Great news for everybody.
Also I need a respectable banner.

This board will replace the Duemilanove. We decided to be nice to the non-italians and use a name that was simpler to pronounce and write. Uno means one in italian and this board for us is the basic building block of the Arduino product line. We replaced the aging FTDI chipset with a custom made usb-serial converter built with an Atmel ATmega8U2 this provides lower latency and doesn’t require to install any drivers on mac and linux (on windows all you need is a simple .inf file) more advanced users will be able to reprogram the USB chip to make the board show up as a variety of USB devices (Keyboards, Mice, Joysticks, MIDI etc)
ToDo worked their magic also on the board redesigning its graphic language keeping the form factor that has become an industry standard.
We believe this strong branding will better differentiate us from the cloners and let customers identify much better the original product.
Finally these boards are fully CE certified with pending FCC certification.[/quote]
New Arduino released :3:
Doesn't this somewhat defeat the purpose of the section itself?
Yeah, why do we need this? Anything major gets its own thread anyway.
