OCZ made a radical change into its solid-state drive family thru the release of the new Apex Series. The Apex Series have 2.5-inch slots and can be categorized between Solid models and speeder Vertex line.

Obvious enough, OCZ launched the product to give something that carries speed of flash based storage devices without needing to put a price tag that will make them greedy. The SATA-II based SSDs use RAID stripe that allows it to have a read / write speed of 230 MB / 160 MB per second.

The drives will be available in three variations: 60GB, 120GB and 250GB. These storage devices are built with an effort to lower power consumption.

OCZ also made into consideration the use of lightweight alloy housing to improve security and data stability particularly when moving the hard drives.

There is no word on the price as of this writing, but it will be available in the market very soon.

How’s your cache? If you’re not a techie, then chances are that you might think that I’m asking for your current financial condition.

A cache is a space in your system’s memory that stores data that you frequently use or access. Your computer usually checks this storage first before it goes to other sources for the information that you’re requesting. This saves time since your PC won’t have to go far in order to find the data that you need.

However, your cache may actually slow down your PC if it’s clogged with unnecessary files or data. Hence, it is advisable that you clear it regularly. Clearing your browser’s cache is very simple. Just click on Tools then select Internet Options. There are also third-party software which allows you to sort out the files or data that you want to retain or delete.

Optimizing your PC is very simple. However, it’s not a one-time task that you could just forget about after performing it the first time. Clearing your cache, as well as your registry and hard drive, is a task that you should be doing as often as you clean your room (my analogy would be flawed if you only clean your room once a year )
