When a memory manufacturer launches new DDR5 memory chips on the market, a review from us is naturally not far away. After Micron introduced the 24 Gbit Rev B ICs in the middle of last year, there are now more new additions almost a year later, but this time with 16 Gbit and initially only in products of their own brand, Crucial. The [...]

Samsung’s HBM3E memory encounters obstacles: Technical issues or strategic battle? AlphaBiz reports suggest that Samsung is struggling to meet the HBM3E memory tests set by NVIDIA. This could be a setback for the Korean giant, which has seen an upswing in its memory business in recent quarters. Initial reports suggested that Samsung’s [...]
The HBM industry is experiencing a huge growth spurt, fueled by groundbreaking innovations such as the recent announcement by SK Hynix, the Korean memory giant, which has revealed plans for HBM4E memory, reported EtNews. SK Hynix aims to set new standards with HBM4E by combining semiconductors and memory into a single package. HBM as a key [...]
With the Corsair MP700 PRO SE, the manufacturer does what MSI did with the SPATIUM M580 Frozr and uses the new expansion stage of the SSD design with the Phison 26 and fast Micron NAND for even more speed. I’m testing the coolerless 4 TB version today, but that doesn’t mean you don’t need a cooler. But you can choose from a 3rd [...]
After we tested the DXP4800 Plus from Ugreen in detail a few days ago, the smaller 2-bay version should of course not be missing. For most users it doesn’t have to be a maximum of 96TB in RAID5, a simple and above all cheaper backup solution is sufficient. And this is exactly what Ugreen wants to offer with the DXP2800, so let’s take a [...]
Micron sets new benchmark for the future of data centers with innovative memory solution that pushes the boundaries of AI and HPC applications. Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU) today marks a new milestone in the server industry, taking data center performance to a new level. Micron unveils the industry’s first 128GB DDR5 RDIMM memory [...]
I don’t think I was the only one who was a little surprised when Ugreen announced that it would now be offering network storage in addition to power banks, chargers and other small electronics – these markets don’t have much in common, but the advertised specifications are exciting. Ideliberately took my time with a review and [...]
I have to explain the title, of course, because there are two reasons for it. Firstly, despite the same packaging and the same data sheets, TeamGroup has now launched a completely different SSD than it did around 7 months ago and secondly, this one resembles the recently tested Corsair MP600 Elite like an egg to another. I will explain both points [...]
The company HighPoint is not an unknown name, as it is known for the production of RAID storage and NVMe data carriers. Now, with its new Rocket Gen5 NVMe switch controller and RAID AIC/adapter series, the company is presenting a range of new products. The company is presenting its new Rocket 1608A and Rocket 7608A with the respective adapters [...]
In a significant step towards improving the performance and security of next-gen server platforms, Intel and JEDEC have unveiled the capabilities of DDR5-8800 memory. This breakthrough technology promises to significantly increase data processing speed and efficiency, especially for AI and machine learning (ML) workloads. JEDEC, the standards [...]
Nowadays, you need good cooling for Gen 5 SSD storage media so that you don’t suddenly have an SSD that causes thermal problems due to the high heat, which is exactly why Jonsbo is introducing a new Gen 5 SSD cooler that provides a remedy, as ITHome reports. SSDs are constantly evolving and the fifth generation or SSDs with PCIe 5.0 support [...]
The HP FX700 tested today is no longer brand new, but there was a reason for that, because I tend to be skeptical about QLC. Hewlett Packard, or HP for short, is one of the leading names in the technology industry worldwide. However, when developing the SSDs, HP entered into a partnership with BIWIN Storage, a renowned Chinese manufacturer of SSD [...]
Packaging and scope of delivery In case you forget who made the NAS between buying it and receiving it, the name is printed again on each side of the box. Very helpful! The contents are protected by foam blocks cut to size, and there is also a box with the accessories on the side. In it we find a 90 watt EA10952F-120 power supply unit, screws for [...]
With the MSI SPATIUM M580 Frozr, the Taiwanese manufacturer has gone one better and launched a second fanless NVMe SSD with PCIe 5.0 standard, which is supposed to be a little bit faster and could therefore also reach the limits of PCIe 5.0. But does such a bolide bring any real added performance value and what is actually installed in detail? Of [...]
With the MP600 Elite, Corsair sent me an SSD to test some time ago, which I couldn’t really categorize logically based on the test results and the price. The name implies a lot, but in practice it looked a lot less rosy. So I waited to see how the price developed and compared the street price with the MP600 Pro XT I had already tested. Now [...]
Micron has unveiled 256GB MCRDIMM memory modules designed for next-generation servers at the Nvidia GPU Technology Conference (GTC), reports TomsHardware. These modules offer a significantly higher capacity and performance boost and are ideal for applications such as AI and big data that need to process large amounts of data efficiently. The new [...]
We recently reported on the series production of HBM3E memory from SK hynix. Now they are going one better and presenting a new SSD at this year’s GTC that has it all. SK hynix starts series production of HBM3E memory The company is thus presenting its first fifth-generation SSD. It is called PCB01 and is a fifth-generation PCIe2 SSD that is [...]
Micron or SK hynix? Each claims to be the first, as SK hynix has announced that it has gone into series production of its own HBM3E memory and will soon be launching it on the market. This is the latest AI memory product with expected ultra-high performance, which will be delivered to customers later this month. The company announced the [...]
Micron Technology recently announced that it has started mass production of its High Bandwidth Memory 3E (HBM3E). Micron’s 24 GB 8H HBM3E will become a component of the NVIDIA H200 Tensor Core GPUs. The NVIDIA H200 series with Micron’s HBM3E is scheduled to ship in the second quarter. According to Micron, this HBM3e memory will consume [...]
A test is always particularly exciting when you come across unexpected problems for which the test subject is not actually responsible. This was also the case here. A RAM test, even if it’s a rather high-priced kit, now runs according to the same pattern for me and isn’t witchcraft. But this time I found myself trapped in an almost [...]
CAMM is a new memory standard that makes conventional DRAM modules smaller, more compact and enables higher capacities. The second generation LPCAMM2 has already been introduced for notebooks and thin/light PC designs. The LP in CAMM standard stands for low energy consumption, based on the LPDDR5 or LPDDR5X standards with speeds of up to 9.6 Gbps [...]
AMD has unveiled the Ryzen 8000G “Hawk Point” AM5 desktop APUs at CES 2024, combining Zen 4 CPU and RDNA 3 GPU cores. These chips are equipped with the latest Ryzen AI “XDNA” NPUs (8700G & 8600G) and are aimed at a budget or mainstream audience who want to play casual or AAA games without having to upgrade a discrete [...]
So anyone who really believes that everything used to be cheaper is very much mistaken. Just compare salaries and prices! Computers are a luxury good. And gold-plated accessories are as old as the PC price list. But who am I telling? If you browse through yesterday’s advertisements today, it can make you feel really sick. But just before [...]
With the MSI SPATIUM M570 Pro 2TB, the Taiwanese manufacturer has now also done it: launching an NVMe SSD with PCIe 5.0 standard on the market. But does such a bolide bring any real added performance value and what is actually installed in detail? Nothing escapes my material tests in this regard and yes, the SSD really is ROHS-compliant. But you [...]
CAMM (Compression Attached Memory Module) is a memory standard specially developed for laptops and portable platforms to offer maximum performance with minimum space requirements. It was originally designed by Dell and introduced during CES 2022. It was later made an open standard and adopted by JEDEC as the latest storage standard. CAMM enables [...]
