SanDisk launches high-performance extreme SSD

Also known as an electronic disk for data storage, SSD uses solid-state memory to store persistent data with the intention of providing access in the same manner of a traditional block hard disk drive with no moving components. SSD’s of today are based on using non-volatile flash memory as opposed to RAM, which loses content when it loses power. SSD’s are the perfect alternative to HDDs (Hard Disk Drives) which use magnetic heads and spinning disks to record information.

Bagattin hunts redemption at EFC AFRICA 13

Popular Johannesburg fighter Dino Bagattin rushes straight back into the EFC AFRICA hexagon to avenge his recent loss at EFC AFRICA 12. Despite an excellent first round for the East Rand Muay Thai specialist, the grappling prowess of his opponent, Michiel Opperman, derailed his hopes of victory at 2:37 into round two.
