Quote – “The Cooler Master surprised me with number of PCI-Express leads!
There is a total of six 6-pin and three 8-pin connectors.
Why so many you might ask? While Real Power Pro 1250W definitely has more
PCI-Express connectors than you could possibly use, you should be prepared
for 3-Way SLI or whatever is new NVIDIA or AMD currently cooking!”

I fought my way through the crowd at the Ridata Booth and they were showing off some very impressive performance on their latest generation of SSD storage. With their latest hardware they are able to write to the drive at an insane 130MB/sec and read even faster at an unbelievable 267MB/sec. These drives won’t be available in retail channels for a while yet, but with these kinds of write speeds, no one could afford them anyway.
