Crucial Solid State Drives now with Data Transfer Kits

Lexar Media, a leading global provider of memory products for digital media, today announced the Crucial RealSSD C300 with Data Transfer Kit available with the 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB C300 drives. This convenient product bundle includes a Crucial RealSSD C300 solid-state drive, a SATA-to-USB data cable, and cloning software. 

 

Migrating from a traditional hard drive to a solid-state drive offers improved boot up and application load times. In addition, SSDs run cooler, quieter, and with more durability when compared to a traditional hard drive. However, transferring data from an existing hard drive to a new SSD can prove a daunting task to many notebook or desktop computer users.

In three easy steps, the Crucial Data Transfer Kit provides users with a simple solution for copying everything on an existing hard drive and transferring it to a Crucial RealSSD C300 drive – including the operating system, data, email settings, applications, and more. This new Crucial kit makes it as simple as connecting the SATA-to-USB cable to the RealSSD and the USB port on a notebook, running the cloning software, and swapping out the old drive with the new Crucial RealSSD.

 “After pushing SSD performance to new levels with technical innovations, we turned our attention to simplifying the upgrade process for users. We succeeded in creating a convenient, start-to-finish solution,” said Rob Wheadon, Lexar Media senior worldwide SSD product manager. “We’re pleased to offer a solution that enables users to get their Crucial RealSSD C300 products up and running in three easy steps.”

All capacities of the Crucial RealSSD C300 drives are available through select resellers worldwide and online at www.crucial.com/ssd, www.crucial.com/uk/ssd, or www.crucial.com/eu/ssd.

Meet the Viewers - Setup #001

It really is great to hear from viewers that enjoy my videos and just recently I got this superb email with a little article from George. If you would like to share your set-up or opinion about the Geekanoids Channel, please do get in touch.
This is my mac setup, I have recently just bought the mac mini and I am enjoying every second of it.
The reason I bought the mac mini was because of the Geekanoids Channel on YouTube as Dave who presents all the videos describes the apple macs so well it tempted me to go and get one. So I watched more of Daves videos and saw that the mac looked more amazing and the Geekanoids Channel defiantly describes all the apple products well.
On my setup I have the 2010 model of the mac mini with a 1080p 24 inch HANNS G HH241 monitor with a wired apple keyboard and mouse with a griffin docking station for my ipod and a logitech microphone for video chatting. I hope you enjoyed reading.

Today I introduced two new Geekpouch's to the store. They are simple cloth pouches, all handmade, sized to fit specific devices. Available in various colours. A black corduroy material, red faux suede and a furry leopard print.

The two new cases for today are for the Apple iPhone 4 and the Samsung Galaxy S. Both of these are lovely phones, but at the same time they are expensive pieces of kit, so protect them with a GeekPouch. Prices start at £5.99 delivered for the UK, £10.99 delivered outside the UK.

"When we published our list of the best medical iPhone apps for doctors and students, we had so many requests for a follow up post highlighting medical apps for the Android operating system that we had to do it. We’ve reduced the over 1,200 “Health” apps in the Android Marketplace to 18 categories and 60 apps designed for doctors, nurses and students."
