With the SanDisk Professional G-Drive SSD 2TB, Western Digital offers a shock-proof and also dust-proof according to IP67 as well as (at least for a short time) protected against accidental submersion, which fits in pretty much every trouser pocket, even if it is quite narrow. Such a thing is called rugged design, so it is a kind of BMX bike among [...]

MSI announces the launch of its own Solid State Drive (SSD) product line, SPATIUM. The initial product offering will include the M480, M470 and M370. Supporting PCIe Gen4 and Gen3, depending on the model, all NVMe SSDs feature the compact M.2 2280 form factor to fit desktop motherboards and laptops. On these SSDs, MSI says it’s putting high [...]
Patriot SUPERSONIC RAGE PRIME 1 TB Review – Small USB stick with SSD qualities in writing OR reading
Patriot has once again made it exciting and even issued an extra NDA for this SUPERSONIC RAGE PRIME 1TB USB 3.2 stick. I must also preface this by saying that I had to do this test without a communicated MSRP, which might put some things into perspective later on. But I was really fascinated by this stick in many parts of this test, because it [...]
Already at the launch of NVIDIA’s Ampere graphics cards, this feature was the talk of the town and subsequently on the wish list of those who want to move large amounts of data directly and without the tedious detour via the CPU. The DirectStorage function was promised for Windows 10, but is now only available from version 11. In the [...]
I recently introduced you to the hardware brokers and published some internal prices of the “grey” market. Because we now also know where the stocks come from, when for example even the official distributors of the graphics card manufacturers wave off and lie dry. Because, as we now know, there is a kind of parallel universe of the [...]
Having assembled quite a few PCs already, I’ve always wanted to build a mini-I-X system for everyday use. So it came as a call that my work colleague asked me for a new PC, well, the help to build him something tailor-made. After a short information gathering regarding the application of the PC as well as the budget, it was only a few mouse [...]
SSDs have become an indispensable part of everyday PC life, and the slim NVMe SSDs in the M.2 slot are even more so. With the EXCERIA PLUS, TLC NAND and 5 years warranty, KIOXIA (quasi Toshiba) wants to expand the EXCERIA series upwards and relies mainly on components from its own production. This extends to the board layout, so this time [...]
Today I’m testing the PNY XLR8 CS3040 NVMe M.2 SSD 1 TB, which supports PCIe 4.0 and is still relatively new to the market. With a daily price of 170 Euros (Amazon) for the model with a heat sink, it is on a fairly identical price level compared to similar SSDs, so you will have to take a closer look to see if and what differences there [...]
There’s no need to repeat the war of the clone SSD sheeps with nearly identical Techvest boards, because if you know one, you know all SSDs. Well, yeah, more or less. And then BIWIN comes now with the HP SSD EX950 M.2 2TB from 240 euros and a different design and nice prices. This is even cheaper than a QLC-SSD in the form of the already [...]
Overview and requirements You know what that’s like? In and around your PC there are dozens of hard disks, on each one there are different files, you never find anything and space is always limited anyway. Now, you could just buy a ready-made NAS from, for example Synology or Qnap, but that’s not an option for small wallets [...]
After the introduction of Quad Level Cells (QLC), where up to four bits can be written to a cell and thus the capacity of flash media can be increased significantly, things had become quieter for the time being, but there are also considerable disadvantages. With the MP400, Corsair is now launching a series below the MP500 series and the MP600 [...]
ADATA is Taiwan’s largest manufacturer of flash memory and DRAM memory for computers and so it is not surprising that ADATA also offers a low-cost product to poach something in the area of beginners, upgrades and conversions. It’s interesting to note that you take a slightly different approach, the usual suspects with Toshiba 3D NAND [...]
Since I have switched most systems in the lab and private sector to M.2 NVMe SSDs and also operate everything in a nice mixed way across the PCIe versions, one can, however, notice differences in parallel systems with identical software and the same workloads, even if some things are much less sensational than it is often spread by PR [...]
Toshiba became KIOXIA and now the EXCERIA series is presented, which moves in three directions: the normal consumer, enthusiasts and the upgradeers with SATA option. Some time ago, the RC500 was introduced, which even uses the same controller and is also available in stores as an NVMe-SSD for the normal consumer. EXCERIA (without Plus) is now to [...]
Our forum member "Mr. Gurke" contributed a user news today and wrote about the Indiegogo project. Of course you should be happy to share in this and therefore now like to leave the sole word to the forum activist and then I'm out… Do you sometimes feel that way? You only want to look up something on the big internet very [...]
