news 28 Posted April 6, 2009 Everything USB is pleased to announce our OCZ Slate 32GB USB-based SSD ExpressCard review. The OCZ Slate Series ExpressCard is touted as the ideal companion for the notebook user needing a backup storage method but who does not want to carry around an external drive of any kind. Available in capacities of 8GB, 16GB and 32GB, owners of ExpressCard 34 equipped notebooks will surely be interested in an alternate way to cram more storage into an already overstuffed machine. Yet another flash storage option? Does anyone care? Should you run out and spend your cash on what seems like a poor man's SSD? Read on with an open mind. http://www.everythingusb.com/ocz-slate-usb-ssd-expresscard-16245.html Verdict: A fabulous solution for notebook users who need a little extra storage or an always-at-the-ready backup solution. Fast enough, and at 32GB, big enough for storing critical files and documents while making use of the often vacant ExpressCard 34 slot. Thoughtful inclusion of a mini-USB port for data transfers and an externally visible activity LED are just icing on the cake. The Good: + Makes use of ExpressCard slot + Variety of capacities up to 32GB + Good performance in most cases + Mini-USB port + Effective storage gain without replacing HDD The Bad: - Zero documentation in box - Poor random access performance - Not fast enough for boot drive use We hope you and your readers will find this review helpful and informative.
