Computer hardware company Smart Modular Technologies has announced a new line of SSDs (solid-state drives) that may drive out the competition. The Smart Optimus drives come in capacities ranging from 200GB all the way to 1.6TB. Not only Smart is bringing out the biggest single SSD in the market (measuring 2.5 inches at the longest), but also the fastest, which uses Serial Attached SCSI interface to make the hardware reach speeds of up to 1000MBps on reading and 500MBps on writing, or so they claim. It is hard to believe such speeds, as even the best consumer-grade SSDs can only do about half of that. The Smart Optimus SSDs also feature “Guardian Technology,” which helps extend the life of the drive and keep data in order so it can be read off that really fast speeds.

SMT has yet to announce the price range of its Optimus SSD line, although they describe the hardware as “cost-effective.” In other words, completely the opposite.

Brando is the company to look for when you want to get your dose of weird with some USB on the side. The company has all manner of weird things for you to check out. The latest oddity from Brando is this optical USB scale mouse. When the palm cover is in place it looks like your normal mouse. Pop that cover off and you have a digital scale underneath.

I guess the idea is that you can use the scale to weigh things like mail you need to send. The little digital scale can weigh 0.1g to 500g. It has a scale that can be changed to read in grams, ounces, gn, and ct. The scale needs a pair of AAA batteries for power and the first set is included. The display on the scale is backlit so you can see it in the dark.

The scale also has a calibration setting and a memory button. The mouse measures 120 x 64 x 35mm and the scale measures 59 x 59 x 20mm. If you need one of these for weighing things at your desk you can get one now for $22.

Tech accessory manufacturer Logitech has announced that it will soon be selling two new high-end tablet keyboard accessories, providing the potential to turn a tablet into more of a production device, rather than just a media consumption console.


Logitech Keyboard Case
The Logitech Keyboard case will be available exclusively for the iPad 2. It is a direct successor to the ZAGGmate Keyboard Case for the original iPad, and Logitech has decided to rebrand the product with its own moniker this time around.


The Logitech Keyboard Case features a unique design that fits over the front of the iPad 2. When being used as a keyboard, the case is detached and the iPad 2 is placed in a recess that props it up, allowing a user to view the screen while typing. The Logitech Keyboard Case connects over Bluetooth, and will cost $100.


Logitech Tablet Keyboard
The Logitech Tablet Keyboard will be available for both the iPad 2 and Android devices running Honeycomb. It will also connect to a tablet via a Bluetooth connection, and comes with a combination case/stand. It is less costly than the Keyboard Case, and will retail for $70.






More from Logitech
In addition to the wireless keyboards above, Logitech also has plans to roll out several other new tablet accessories. Also on tap are the Logitech Wireless Speaker, which has an MSRP of $100 and works with both the iPad and Android tablets, and the Logitech Tablet Mouse, which is designed specifically for tablets running the most updated version of Android (3.1 Honeycomb) and will come with an MSRP of $50.




Availability
All of the accessories mentioned should become available to U.S. customers sometime in May, with international availability following in June (except for the Tablet Keyboard for Android and the Logitech Tablet Mouse, both of which will only be available domestically).
