Green House Japan released a pair of new 8 GB DDR3-1333 MHz (PC3-10600) memory modules. These consist of the GH-DRT1333-8GB and GH-DVT1333-8GB, which are 240-pin standard DIMM, and differ by the former having lifetime warranty, while the latter has 5 year warranty; and GH-DNT1333 and GH-DWT1333, which are 204-pin SO-DIMM modules with lifetime and 5-year warranties, respectively. Both kinds of modules are JEDEC standards-compliant, and run at DDR3-1333 MHz speeds with CAS latency of 9T, and 1.50V DRAM voltage.

Green House Japan introduced a pair of wired optical mice, under the GH-MUxAK. The GH-MUSAK is a model with a straight long cable, while th GH-MURAK is characterized by a retractable cable that makes it a notebook companion. They are pictured below, in that order. The two have identical main-units, measuring 54 x 94 x 36.5 mm (WxDxH), with an 800 DPI optical sensor. With a cable-length of 140 cm, and weighing 66.6 g, the GH-MUSAK is priced at 750 JPY (US $9), while the GH-MURAK, with its 75 cm-long retractable cable, and 58.2 g weight, goes for 980 JPY (US $12).

Green House Japan launched the GH-PCF4AK laptop cooling pad, with a unique quad-fan design that allows people to re-position fans a little, to target the right spots of the laptop's base, ensuring the best cooling. Pictured below, the GH-PCF4AK is designed for 12-inch notebooks (or smaller). The top surface has a pitted brushed aluminum sheet. One corner of the top surface has a detachable rubber bar, which can be used to elevate the laptop. The pad itself has two feet below, which can further step up the inclination.

Beneath it is a "+" shaped vent, with a 60 mm fan on each of its arms. The fans are suspended on rails, and can be slid along the length of the arms. The 60 mm fans spin at speeds as high as 2,000 RPM; even with four of these, pushing about 32 CFM of air, the rated noise-level is relatively low, at 21 dBA. The GH-PCF4AK draws power from just one USB port, its cable can be folded into a cavity on the back of the pad. Measuring 390 x 290 x 24 mm (WxDxH), the GH-PCF4AK weighs about 720 g. It is priced at 2,980 JPY (about US $36).

Keeping itself busy, Green House has today released a new flash drive family, the PicoDrive T3. The T3 drives measure 54.6 (W) x 17.5 (D) x 11.4 (H) mm, they weight 8 grams, they feature a USB 3.0 interface, a rotary cap, and deliver transfer speeds of up to 60 MB/s.

Japanese company Green House launched two lines of SSDs for use in compact devices and embedded applications. These include the GH-SSD*S-H in the "half-slim" SATA form factor (where * stands for number of GB in capacity), and GH-SSD*S-M in mSATA form factor. The half-slim form factor is basically a half length SSD PCB with its case stripped out, which makes it a lot more compact. The two are further available in two variants based on NAND flash type used, SLC and MLC. The SLC variants come in capacities starting from 1 GB to 16 GB, including 2, 4, and 8 GB models along the way; while the MLC variant includes capacities starting from 4 GB to 128 GB, with 8, 16, 32, and 64 GB models along the way.

Transfer rates are different between each specific model. The the SLC variant, it's 29 MB/s (read) / 17 MB/s (write) for the 1 GB, 55 MB/s (read) / 34 MB/s (write) for 2 GB, 100 MB/s (read) / 65 MB/s (write) for 4 GB, and 120 MB/s (read) / 100 MB/s for the 8 and 16 GB models. Moving on to MLC, it's 34 MB/s (read) / 12 MB/s (write) for the 4 GB, 66 MB/s (read) / 24 MB/s (write) for 8 GB, 120 MB/s (read) / 45 MB/s (write) for 16 GB, 135 MB/s (read) / 90 MB/s (write) for 32 GB, 200 MB/s (read) / 170 MB/s (write) for 64 GB, and 200 MB/s (read) / 200 MB/s (write) for the 128 GB model. All drives make use of a Phison-made controller, with 64 MB DRAM cache. The drives are rated to have 1,000,000 hours of MTBF, and pack standard features such as TRIM command support and NCQ. They are backed by 1 year warranty.

Green House also released the GH-UFI, a tough nut of a USB flash drive that's designed to withstand a wide temperature range, -40°C all the way up to 85°C. Its body is made almost completely of a ridged sheet of metal, which makes it tough, and protects it from the elements. It can also withstand mechanical shocks of up to 1,500 G. The drive uses the older USB 2.0 interface, SLC NAND flash memory, and provides transfer rates of up to 20 MB/s read with 18 MB/s write. With its cap on, the drive measures 47.3 (W) x 17.6 (D) x 8.4 (H) mm, weighing 10 g. The GH-UFI comes in a wide range of capacities, including 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB, and 8 GB. While prices weren't announced, we expect the price-per-MB value to get compressed in the lower-capacity models. The drives are backed by a generous 3-year warranty.

Japanese company Green House unveiled PicoDrive Secure, a new series of compact USB flash drives that feature 256-bit AES data encryption. Measuring 65 (W) x 19 (D) x 8 (H) mm, and weighing just 11 g, the drives use older USB 2.0 interface. To keep data safe, the drive also features a password-based lock function that lets you switch from no access to read-only access, and full-access. The security comes at a price, however, with the 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB, and 16 GB variants being priced at US $160, $230, $300, and $355, respectively.

Green House Japan is introducing a new 15.6-inch monitor that draws display input from USB 2.0, making it ideal for display expansion without adding graphics cards. While not exactly optimal for graphics-intensive applications, the monitor should should serve ideal for businesses, stock trading firms, and other applications where a decent color display is all that's needed. The GH-USD16K is an LED-backlit LCD panel with just the USB input.

The GH-USD16K has a native resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels, with 18-bit color depth (256K colors). It offers a static contrast ratio of 400:1, maximum brightness of 220 cd/m², 16 ms response time, and viewing angles of 80°/40°. Under normal operation, the display consumes just 5W of power. The company suggests that you can plug in up to 6 such displays on a PC for smooth display. More monitors would probably require an additional USB card/controller, even if there are free USB ports on the motherboard, since bandwidth is shared. Slated for market release in Japan next month, the Green House GH-USD16K is priced at an equivalent of US $210.

Green House expanded its PicoDrive N series of USB flash drives with a new 32 GB model. This USB 2.0 compliant flash drive offers 32 GB of storage in a form-factor measuring 54.1(W) × 18.0(D) × 8.1(H) mm, weighing a little over 7 g.

The 21.5-inch full HD (1920 x 1080 resolution) display is geared for gaming and video, which is complemented by 2 ms response time. Other panel specifications include 300 cd/m² brightness, 100,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. Display inputs include DVI, HDMI, and D-Sub. It is priced at US $237.

Japanese hardware maker Green House announced a new external hard drive enclosure that can house a 3.5" SATA drive, connect to it over SATA 3 Gb/s interface, and connect it to the PC over USB 3.0, ensuring there's no dearth for bandwidth. The GH-HDC3035AK from Green House measures 187 x 113 x 30 mm, weighing 360 g, and can take hard drives and solid state drives with capacities of up to 2 TB. It's also backwards compatible with USB 2.0, but at a huge performance penalty. Available in Japan around mid-November, the GH-HDC3035AK is priced at JP ¥2,980; around US $37.
