Gameboy Advance cartridges turned into 4GB flash drives

I was never a big fan of the Game Boy Advance, so I have no cartridges lying around. But would if I did, I convert it to flash drives, just like this one from etsy seller 8BitMemory. The cartridge top looks awesome as a functional USB flash drive.

8bit currently has several for sale, including Metroid, Super Mario Advance, and Mario Vs. Donkey Kong. All cartridges have a 4GB capacity, and converted it retails for $ 39.99 each.

The Game Boy Advance seems so long ago. We need old.

256GB USB flash drive for the price of 3 netbooks

256GB USB flash drive for the price of 3 netbooks

On the one hand, I’m impressed with how Kingson Heck, the new DataTraveler 300 USB flash drive can store a whopping 256 GB data. On the other hand, it costs $ 900, which is pretty much useless … for now.

Of course, if it is one thing we have learned on flash media in recent years is that prices fall very rapidly. I still remember paying nearly $ 50 for my first 32 MB Compact Flash card.

Kingston new card features read speeds of up to 20 MB per second and data rates of up to 20MB per second. It measures 2.78 “x 0.88″ x 0.65 “. And Kingston has been kind enough to let us know that the flash drive can be the equivalent of 10 Blu-ray discs, 54 DVDs or 365 CDs. The 256 GB Kingston Data Traveler 300 is initially in Europe. No word if when he is in the U.S.. I hope there will be a bit cheaper at the time it does.

NVIDIA GTX 275

NVIDIA GTX 275The GTX 275 is a map of the combined features of the GTX 285 (Core GPU with 240 shader processors) with the memory of the sub GTX260 (896MB on a 448-bit bus), so you basically have half of a GTX 295! The clock rates for the GTX 275 to 633MHz with the GT200 core, 1404MHz on the shader cores and 1134MHz on the 896MB of memory. The card uses the reference design cooler, the GTX 275 alive and healthy.Connections on the GTX 275 is more than two dual-link DVI ports. There is no other method for connecting to the card, unless you have a adapter to connect from either a DVI to HDMI or D-Sub VGA port. The back of the card is the airflow over the heatsink on the lower circuits and the derivation of the air through the heatsink through the port on the cradle.

The GTX 275 requires two PCI-E 6-pin power connectors to supply power to the card, so that a power supply with the appropriate power connectors is the best solution is the use of adapters is the second and less desirable option to make this card. In addition to the current connection is the S PDIF high-definition sound input, the sound either your sound card or on-board sound solution. The GTX 275 can be used in a Tri-SLI setup if multiple cards are in your system. This is the obvious upgrade path with the power of the GTX 275.
