OCZ Vector 150 SSD review Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The OCZ Vector 150 is a solid-feeling and impressively performing SSD. It compares well with Intel’s latest performance drive, yet is closer to 50p per gigabyte rather than 75p. At that price, it deserves a strong recommendation. Toshiba invented NAND flash at the end of the 1980s, although it may not be the first company you’d think of when looking for an SSD today....

SanDisk Extreme II SSD review Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The SanDisk Extreme II would have stood out as a well-balanced high-performance SSD among its peers 12 months ago. It still does and now additionally benefits from keen pricing. Prices of SSDs have dropped considerably in the past two years, and with affordable flash drives like this year-old favourite, the SanDisk Extreme II, we can all now ‘go flash’ for the magic figure of 50 pence per gigabyte....

Seagate 600 SSD review Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Seagate 600 SSD is a good value, but high-performance solid?state drive. Now over one year old, it’s available at very competitive prices, which work out at a very reasonable 42p per gigabyte for the larger-capacity 480GB capacity model. For the current SATA-standard drives, Seagate offers a regular and Pro version, the latter adding in a little more endurance thanks to higher-grade NAND stock and the use of higher over-provisioning....

Toshiba Q Series Pro review Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Toshiba Q Series Pro performs close enough to the original Q Series SSD that it can be hard to separate them. We note that Toshiba has expanded its warranty terms, and will now guarantee its Q Series SSD for three years rather than just one. Pricing is reasonably keen for Toshiba’s latest Q Series Pro SSD, which is available in 128-, 256- and (harder to get) 512GB sizes....

LG G3 vs iPhone 5s smartphone comparison review Our Verdict It’s difficult to be entirely prescriptive without fully testing the LG G3, but this much we can say: both the iPhone 5s and the LG G3 are great handsets, and they will cost around the same, with the LG being a bit cheaper. They are fast and well built. On the one hand the LG G3 definitely has the better display, but the iPhone 5s is smaller and easier to operate with one hand....
