<description><![CDATA[A few solid-state drives recently reviewed by CNET.(Credit:Dong Ngo/CNET)Now that I have convinced you that solid-state drives (SSDs) are the way to go for a computer's main storage, the question is which one you should get.While SSDs are all very expensive, depending on the features, capacities, and interfaces, their prices vary considerably. If your computer only supports the SATA 2 (3Gbps) standard, which is currently the most popular on any type of computer, an SSD of this standard like the Samsung 470 would be a good investment. On the other hand, if your computer supports SATA 3 (6Gbps) or you want to get a &quot;futureproof&quot; drive that you can retain and use with future computers, it's better to get one that supports this higher standard.While most SSDs come in the 2.5-inch design (for laptops), some of them come with a drive-bay converter so they can fit in a desktop easily, such as the OCZ Vertex 3. For an SSD that doesn't come with a converter, you can get the converter separately or even get away with leaving the drive inside the computer's chassis without screwing it tightly to the drive bay. This is because SSDs are much lighter than hard drives, and have no moving parts. After that, the only question to consider is the capacities. Generally drives of 480GB or larger are just too expensive to make sense as a purchase, even for those who can afford it. You'd better off getting an SSD of 240GB or smaller, which costs around $500 or less. You only need one to function as the main drive that host the operating system of a computer. For extra storage space, you can get an external hard drive (for a laptop) or another internal hard drive (for a desktop).To save you time spent looking around, here's the list of latest CNET reviews of top SSDs.Note that while SSDs are much faster than traditional hard drives, they are a different technology and therefore need to be taken care of differently. Check back soon for a post on how you can take the best care of and get the most out of your SSD.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The 2011 Honda Civic GX(Credit:Honda)The Honda Civic GX is the greenestcar of 2011, according to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy.The nonprofit organization released its 14th annual environmental ratings list yesterday with the Honda Civic GX, which runs on compressed natural gas, once again winning first place. The ACEEE ranked the all-electric Nissan Leaf second, with the Smart Fortwo in third, and the Toyota Prius in fourth. The all-electric Chevy Volt was ranked last at No. 12.However, topping the ACEEE's list doesn't necessarily mean the Honda Civic GX is the most consumer-friendly green car available. The car, which has been ranked first place for seven years now, runs on compressed natural gas (CNG), making it extremely clean, but it does require the installation of a CNG home-filling station, or locally available CNG filling stations.One might want to consider the ACEEE's greenest list as more of an industry-focused report card of sustainability rather than an actual car consumer guide like the Fuel Economy Guide 2011 produced by the Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Energy.Whereas the EPA guide grades mainly on fuel consumption, the ACEEE is more encompassing with its green standards. It includes comprehensive sustainability measurements for each car, such as the emissions of the estimated battery manufacturer if the car includes a lithium-ion battery.&quot;Vehicles running on electricity emit nothing from the tailpipe, but their 'upstream' emissions can be substantial, depending on where they're charged. As U.S. power generation becomes cleaner, these vehicles' scores will rise,&quot; ACEEE Transportation Director Therese Langer said in a statement. The ACEE's full list of the 12 greenest vehicles for 2011 is as follows: Honda Civic GX&amp;nbsp'Nissan Leaf Smart Fortwo cabriolet and coupe Toyota Prius Honda Civic Hybrid Honda Insight Ford Fiesta SFE Chevrolet Cruze Eco Hyundai Elantra Mini Cooper Toyota Yaris Chevrolet Volt The ACEEE also offers more consumer-friendly lists that rank cars within in each class and are divided by manual and automatic transmission. When it comes to large SUVs, for example, the Cadillac Escalade Hybrid wins first place.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>
