Apple Announce Macbook Pro Update


Apple held their yearly Worldwide Developers Conference, also known as WWDC, this week, announcing a huge host of updates and upgrades to their globally popular products. The iOS6 operating system will now be added to the company’s range of iPhones, whilst improved voice navigation and a news Maps service will be available. Apple continues to break new ground in the world of computing and mobile technology, also announcing that all of their coveted notebooks, the Macbook Pro range, will be getting an update.  The new model is just 0.71 inches thick, and has been described by the company as “the most beautiful computer” that they have ever created. The brand new Macbook Pros will contain a quad-core i5 or i7 processor, a new Kepler graphics chip and a stunning new retina display, which will boast 220 pixels per inch.

The incredible new models will hit the market starting at $2199; a steep price for a laptop by any standards. The Apple phenomenon is built on the idea of fans constantly trading in and upgrading their old products, but many Apple fans who already own a Macbook will balk at having to splash out this figure for an update. But there is a solution in the form of Data Memory Systems, a US provider of both Apple and PC memory solutions which can prove as exciting and useful as an entirely new model. Upgrading memory can make a laptop or computer feel brand new, and can be done at a fraction of the cost.

Apple memory is in high supply at Data Memory Systems, with a huge selection of Macbook Pro upgrades to choose from. The memory upgrades are generally available in 2GB or 4GB kits, with some models having access to a huge 8GB upgrade kit, sure to give one of these popular notebooks a huge lift. An 8GB kit (2 x 4GB upgrades, as Apple recommend their two sockets are upgraded at the same time to make the most of their dual-channel memory architecture) is available for just $52.00 from Data Memory Systems.

Users of standard Macbooks also have plenty of computer memory to choose from at Data Memory Systems. With 18 models of Macbook to choose from, and upgrades available in 1GB, 2GB and, for select models, 4GB packs, there has never been an easier way to make a notebook feel brand new. A 4GB kit for a Macbook, which comes with a lifetime warranty, is available priced at just $59.50.

Microsoft & Apple Go Head To Head


Microsoft’s next generation Windows 8 operating system was showcased at the Computex annual computer show this week, with many experts predicting that it will provide industry frontrunners Apple with some much-needed healthy competition. Apple have led the way with their ground-breaking iPad and Macbook Air products for the past few years, but it is predicted that Windows 8 and its sister products, which are due to launch later this year, will finally have the capacity to match these consumer favourites.

The Windows team intends to combat the popular Macbook Air with the creation and expansion of their own Chromebook series; lightweight, thin laptops which will soon have touchscreen capabilities for use with Windows 8. Microsoft will also incorporate Windows To Go, a brand new element which will allow the Windows 8 operating system to boot and run from a USB mass storage device such as a flash memory drive. It is believed the tablet market will be harder to crack for Microsoft, as the iPad accounted for 61% of the world’s tablet market last year, but the signs that Windows 8 will finally provide competition for Apple’s iOS systems are encouraging.

The reignited competition that has stagnated in recent years will see a surge in people updating their systems to be able to deal with the updates provided by both Microsoft and Apple. The Windows To Go function will mean external hard drives will become more of a necessity, whilst existing users of Macbook products will be attempting to stay ahead of the curve by updating their RAM.  Data Memory Systems are a premier US supplier of memory solutions for both Apple and Windows products, and have all the necessary stock to ensure that users of both systems are satisfied.

The most budget-friendly external hard drive available from Data Memory Systems is their LaCie Rikiki Hi-Speed USB 2.0 500GB hard drive, which is perfect for anyone who needs constant access to their personal files, music and photos, and will have more than enough memory to accommodate the new Windows To Go function. The exterior is made from light aluminium, so that it is tough and yet light and easily transportable, and at just $91.50, this external hard drive will fit practically any budget.

For owners of Macbook Pro models, Apple memory is also in high supply, with a huge selection of Macbook memory available. Almost all models are catered for, with 1GB and 2GB options to choose from. Prices start at just $12.50 for a 1GB upgrade, though it is recommended that both sockets of the innovative dual-channel memory system are updated with equal amounts of RAM for optimum performance.

Diamonds Will Soon Be A Hard Drive’s Best Friend


It seems that not a week passes by without another incredible breakthrough in the ever-advancing world of technology. Engineers at John Hopkins University have recently discovered that using diamonds to change the properties of a certain aspect of phase-change memory could eventually lead to higher-capacity storage systems for computers, which retain information at a faster rate and last for much longer. The study’s lead author, Ming Xu, a doctoral student at the University, said that the memory is more stable than that which is currently used in popular flash drives. "It works 100 times faster and is rewritable about 100,000 times," he stated. He believes that the method could be used to replace hard drives in computers and could potentially be on the market within five years, meaning that diamonds won’t just be a girl’s best friend, but also the best friend of computer users the world over.
However, five years is a very long time in the world of computer memory. Those with memory needs will not be willing to wait that long to update when Data Memory Systems, one of the US’ foremost providers of Apple and PC memory, is able to provide high-quality memory solutions at low prices. With customers from both domestic and commercial backgrounds all over the world, their huge selection of upgrades can satisfy even the most demanding user’s needs until Ming Xu’s diamond method becomes the inevitable jewel in the crown of computer memory.
Carrying many popular brands including Dell memory, HP memory and Compaq memory, Data Memory Systems can upgrade almost any device; desktop computers, digital cameras and everything in between. Many of their products come with lifetime guarantees to ensure only the best value and the highest quality memory. 
Apple users from all corners of the globe have discovered the benefits of purchasing from Data Memory Systems; their extensive range of Apple memory, for Macbooks in particular, ensures that almost all models are catered for, with 1GB, 2GB and 4GB upgrades available. Prices start at just $12.50 for a 1GB upgrade, though it is recommended that those who purchase these memory upgrades for Macbooks should upgrade both sockets of the innovative dual-channel memory system with equal amounts of RAM.
Flash drives, memory cards, USB drives and external hard drives are all available from Data Memory Systems, a one-stop shop for all Apple and PC memory solutions. The most basic DDR PC2100 Memory starts at just $11.00, with 4GB kits priced at just $27.00.

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.
