Asus M70SA-X2 - Digital Trends
A review of the Asus M70SA-X2 Notebook has been posted over at Digital Trends. 'Like most high-powered notebooks these days, the M70S runs on an Intel platform and features an Intel “Penryn” Core 2 Duo processor running at 2.5GHz with 6MB of L2 cache. Although the M70S uses the 32-bit version of Windows Vista Home Premium, it still has 4GB of RAM, though the operating system can only see 3GB of that memory. Its Intel chipset features wireless A/G/N support, which is a must-have feature for today’s notebooks in our opinion.
Possibly the biggest news with the M70S is it’s the first notebook ever to offer a terabyte of storage, which is one thousand gigabytes. It accomplishes this feat by using two Hitachi 500GB 5,400rpm notebook drives, though it does not stripe them together in a RAID 0 array like we typically see with dual-drive notebooks. Though some people claim RAID 0 boosts performance, we’re not fans of it since if one drive fails you lose all your data. Put another way, RAID 0 doubles your exposure to catastrophic data loss.'
