Look To The Future – Purchase Extra RAM


On purchasing a new PC or laptop, it can be easy to buy into the philosophy that the RAM easily lasts for a few years and the computer won’t need to be repaired or upgraded for some time. For the first year or so, the computer will be in its prime and will most likely operate at a speed which will give the illusion of freshness and plenty of RAM left. However, many people overlook the fact that, as time goes on, their computers will undergo internal updates and more programs will be installed, meaning that the computer memory which had seemed sufficient at the time of purchase will suddenly become woefully lacking.

When memory is lacking, it will take much longer to carry out simple processes. Graphics on games can become fragmented, the unit will even become audible as it works to meet demands, and once the physical memory runs out, the hard drive will be used to store data. Imagine a desk in an office, struggling under the weight of too many files - this is what happens to a hard drive; the constant strain of having to find and read information it was not created to repetitively read can prove too much for some systems, resulting in a fatal computer crash, never to be rebooted again.

The solution to this is to purchase extra RAM right from the start. Data Memory Systems is a leading US supplier of Apple and PC memory solutions, and has an unbeatable range which will cater to both end user and commercial customers. There is a memory solution to suit every budget and a huge variety of computer brands to choose from, including Dell memory, HP memory and Compaq memory. Extra RAM is a cheap and simple way to ensure a fast, reliable computer even years down the line, when many laptops will be buckling under the pressure of so many applications and files.

Many of the RAM memory products from Data Memory Systems come with a lifetime guarantee and prices start at under $10 for the most basic of memory boosts, but to ensure real longevity and staying power when purchasing a new laptop or computer, the 4GB Computer Memory Upgrade Kit (which contains two 2GB SODIMMs) is priced at just $54.00 and can help to guarantee rapid read and write times for many years. After all, no one ever complained of having too much RAM.

DMS Celerity SSDs Receives Glowing Reviews


The reviews of Data Memory Systems’ exclusive Celerity 6G Plus Solid State Drive are in, and they could not be more positive. In TweakTown’s SSD review series, which pledges to focus on ‘the best SSDs you’ve never heard of’, the Celerity 6G Plus has been celebrated, with glowing comments regarding its performance and the quality of the design. Honourable mention is also given to the unique and personalised customer service offered by Data Memory Systems, which many large corporations take for granted. Solid State Drives (known to many people as SSDs or flash based drives), are thought to be the last piece of the puzzle in the quest to turn laptops into viable desktop PC replacements, and the Celerity line has now been proven to be able to satisfy even the most avid gamer or power-user. The overall TweakTown rating of this particular drive is a spectacular 83%, with astounding figures such as a 94% performance rating and a score of 91% for design quality. 

SSDs are considered to be the eventual replacement for a hard drive, and many see them as a vastly more advanced relation of the conventional memory stick. Experts have predicted that these flash drives will spell the end for traditional hard drives eventually, as their advantages massively outweigh the negatives. The patented ECC algorithms and RAISE technology within the Celerity line help to protect data written to the drive, while the S.M.A.R.T attributes help to monitor the overall health of the unit. Read and write times are remarkably faster than a basic hard drive, mostly due to the lack of moving parts within the SSD. The reduced movement and complete lack of volatile memory elements within the drive also results in less wasteful heat emission, as well as absolutely no noise or vibration whatsoever.

The full Celerity line, labelled a ‘diamond in the rough’ by TweakTown, is available from Data Memory Systems, a leading PC and Apple memory solution supplier, with prices starting at just $95.00 for a 40GB DMS Celerity 3G SSD. Their low power option is perfect for those on the go, who must savour their battery life, and the performance can reach enterprise-class standards for those who frequently push their SSDs to the limit. The super-low operating requirements of these products means that they come with a guarantee of lifetime performance, and the huge range of capabilities ensure that these drives can meet any customer’s needs. The ‘family relationship’ also afforded by the fantastic customer service team at Data Memory Systems also offer ‘real service and real support’, while endeavouring to keep prices low and quality high.

New DDR4 Memory Goes Into Production Late 2012


Micron has this week announced that they have commenced shipping fully functional DDR4 DRAM modules to their major customers, in DIMM form factor. The first engineering samples being shipped are the next step in Micron’s plan to have DDR4 computer memory ready to go into mass production by Q4 2012. The new DDR4 technology will be scooped up quickly by key companies and competitors within the industry by 2013.

The brand new DDR4 models focus on reducing power consumption and offering a whole host of updates over the previous DDR3 model. Developed in partnership with Taiwan’s Nanya, where Micron’s 30nm process node was used, the new low-power, high performance chips (4GB, 512MB DDR4 x 8 memory chip) offer memory densities up to 8GB for a single DIMM. For the mainstream, this means DDR4 will create systems capable of 32GB of RAM, whilst the higher end of the scale will benefit from 64GB and even 128GB. This new standard for PC and Apple memory will be manufactured with x8, x16 and x32 solder connections, creating “effective GHz” – for those not fluent in memory-speak, this would create clocks from between 2.4 – 3.2 billion transfers per second.

As the DDR4 memory isn’t expected to go into production until the end of this year, hitting the shelves sometime in 2013, those looking for a RAM upgrade should consider the huge variety of DDR3 RAM memory available from Data Memory Systems, a leading US supplier of PC and Apple memory solutions for commercial and domestic uses. The 4GB DDR3-1333 SODIMM is used in all of the latest Apple products, including Macbook Pros and iMacs, and with its 30% reduction in power over its DDR2 predecessor and high data transfer speeds, it is a fantastic solution for those who can’t wait until DDR4’s 2013 release to upgrade.

Data Memory Systems also offer a Samsung 8MB DDR3-1333 SODIMM priced at just $109.00. Their lifetime advanced replacement warranty and 30-day money back guarantee ensure that there are mechanisms in place if customers aren’t entirely satisfied with the product. But with the dependability and consistency that Data Memory Systems have become known for, as well as the highest quality products, the commitment to ensuring customer satisfaction is highly valued. Maximum system memory as a result of this product hits 16GB for MacBook Pros and 32GB for iMacs, and with twice the transfer capabilities of DDR2, this upgrade is the ideal choice in the way for DDR4.

Back Up Files Efficiently With Data Memory Systems


A survey has discovered that 60% of companies don’t have any funds set aside in their budget to allow for efficient data backup plans on their work computers. With vital information and sensitive documents on almost all computers in the workplace, it is crucial that they are backed up regularly, and in the correct way, yet the survey showed that of the people who regularly back up, one in ten of them resort to emailing themselves copies of important documents. This can be a long, drawn out process, and while email inboxes can be accessed from anywhere, it is not an efficient or productive way of backing up files.

There is still confusion over the best ways for companies to back up their data, but the most popular examples are the external hard drive and the USB stick. Data Memory Systems is a premier US provider of reliable PC and Apple memory solutions, and can help both companies and individuals increase security and stop wasting time by emailing themselves important data.

External hard drives are a great way to back up information, and plenty of them come with one-touch backup these days. Once they’re configured, all these handy drives need to function is a power source; when they’re plugged in, they will backup the chosen files automatically. They come with absolutely no software to install and are fully automated, ensuring minimal fuss and maximum results. The 2TB Transcend StoreJet® 35T External Hard Drive is a great example of a drive which fulfils and exceeds all expectations from external computer memory. With password protection, super-fast writing times and high energy efficiency, the extra-large storage system is ideal for backing up crucial files and sensitive information.

USB sticks are also a very popular way of backing up information. Their conventionally smaller capacity means they generally can’t hold quite as much information as an external hard drive, but their portability is a key factor here. For those travelling to meetings or conferences, the convenience a pocket-sized computer memory storage gadget brings can prove to be incredibly valuable. The JetFlash™ 4GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive comes with a lifetime guarantee and high transfer rates, offering optimum reliability while never compromising on speed or quality. No power source is needed; these drives function fully from a USB port, and with handy functions such as an LED reflecting usage status and a PC-Lock option, they are now a staple of both office and everyday life for many.

SSDs Turn Laptops Into Desktop Replacements


Solid-state drives (to many people SSDs or flash based drives), have been thought of as the last piece of the puzzle that is solid PC performance. They are faster than conventional hard drives and have a much lower risk of failure due to heat or mechanical issues. Data Memory Systems is a US-based supplier of PC and Apple memory solutions, and their fantastic range of SSDs can combine quality performance with low power operation to improve laptop battery life and reduce read and write times significantly.

SSDs are often considered a sort of larger cousin of the traditional flash memory stick, but technological developments and advances have meant that these drives can now turn laptops into entirely viable replacements for powerful desktop computers. The DMS Celerity 3G SSD, for instance, is able to satisfy even the most demanding gamer or power-user, with industry-leading bandwidth of more than 260MB per second on transfers. SSDs have no moving parts, meaning that their read and write times are much faster than a basic hard drive. The lack of movement means a reduction in heat emissions, as well as being noise and vibration free.

Experts in this field predict that flash drives will eventually replace the traditional hard drive, not only because of their speed, but also due to their high reliability. There are no volatile memory elements, and the drives have a vastly improved resistance to shock and vibration; important for those taking their laptops on the go with them. For businesses rather than individuals, the DMS Celerity 6G has manageable failure modes, rarely used but predictable and safe, help to reduce IT costs. 

The entire DMS Celerity range is built using the SandForce Driven controller, with patented ECC algorithms and RAISE™ technology protect the data written to the drive. The overall health of the drive is monitored using a set of S.M.A.R.T. attributes entirely specific to SSDs. Each drive comes with a 3-year warranty and a guarantee of lifetime performance. These drives will not degrade over time, and are sure to boost performance for many years to come.

The Celerity range at Data Memory Systems currently starts at $95 for a 40GB DMS Celerity 3G Solid State Drive (SSD), going up to $999 for a 480GB DMS Celerity 6G Plus Solid State Drive (SSD).
