SuperTalent Intros SSDs for Notebooks

Super Talent has announced its new MasterDrive series of flash-based solid-state drives (SSDS) for notebook computers. The 2.5-inch drives feature an SATA-II interface and are designed to be completely interchangeable with standard notebook hard drives—except that they’re lighter, use less power, and are much more durable.

“These new SSDs are a rugged, lightning fast, low power storage alternative for mobile professionals and enthusiasts,” said Super Talent marketing director joe James. “With such overwhelming benefits, MasterDrive SSDs are sure to revolutionize mobile storage.”

Super Talent is rolling out two series of MasterDrive notebook SSDs: the MX series are available in 30, 60, and 120 GB capacities and feature 120 MB/s read speeds and 40 MB/s write speeds, while the DX series are only available in 30 and 60 Gb configurations, but feature 120 MB/s read speeds and 70 MB/s write speeds. The MX series are priced at $299, $449, and $699, respectively, while the DX series go for $699 and $1,299 respectively—so that extra write speed is pricey.

The drives are available now from NewEgg and eWiz.

You’re going to hate the latest change to Windows 11

A laptop running Windows 11.

Just two weeks after rolling out a preview build to Windows Insiders, Microsoft is pushing out an update to Windows 11 that adds advertisements to the Start menu. Build KB5036980, which is now slowly rolling out to the wider Windows 11 user base, includes recommendations in the Start menu, and they sneakily sit beside your real apps.

These apps comes exclusively from the Microsoft store, and they sit in the Recommended section of the Start menu. This section includes recently used, frequent, and new apps, but one (or more) slots will now be dedicated to an ad. As the update reads: "The Recommended section of the Start menu will show some Microsoft Store apps. These apps come from a small set of curated developers. This will help you to discover some of the great apps that are available."
