Introduction

Chaintech was founded in 1986 and many still associate Chaintech with their motherboard products. The reality is that Chaintech has not released a motherboard since the release of the nForce 4 chipset for AMD's 939 processor. Around 2005 Walton Advanced Engineering gained controlling interest of the company and the name was changed to Walton Chaintech. Walton took the company in a new direction focusing on products based on memory as well as graphics cards. The rest, as they say is history.

Today we are looking at Walton Chaintech's latest endeavor, solid state storage. If you frequent the pages of TweakTown you already know that this market is blowing up faster than a star hitting supernova and Chaintech is looking to cash in, as are many of the memory manufacturers.

Right off the bat you will notice that the Walton Chaintech APOGEE SSD is a great looking drive. It is a shame most of these are going to end up tucked deep inside notebooks because they truly are the best looking SSDs on the market. Aside from the aesthetic appeal, the Walton Chaintech APOGEE 64GB solid state drive is a performer, too. Let's have a look at this beautiful drive and then see just how well she performs.
