The calm on the memory market appears to be short-lived once again. After the price trend for DRAM and NAND products initially calmed down following the weak phase caused by the pandemic, there are now signs of a new trend reversal – with clear disadvantages for end consumers. According to reports from South Korea, Samsung is planning a [...]

Storage & Cloud
Samsung jumps on the PCIe 5.0 bandwagon and presents a new generation of high-end SSDs with the 9100 PRO series. The key data sounds impressive: up to 14,800 MB/s for sequential reading and 13,400 MB/s for writing. The spectrum of storage sizes also ranges from 1 TB to a whopping 8 TB. However, there is often a gap between marketing promises and [...]
You might think that industrial espionage is old hat by now, but in South Korea they apparently still take such things quite seriously. A former Samsung team leader has now been fined heavily for passing on secret information about the 18nm DRAM process to the Chinese memory manufacturer CXMT. Anyone who thought that technology theft was done with [...]
The fact that NVIDIA likes to establish its own hardware standards is nothing new. Now the company also appears to be taking on the memory market for compact AI supercomputers. According to South Korean reports, Team Green is working with Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron on a new memory module called SOCAMM – smaller, more efficient and of [...]
G.Skill continues its course to increase the performance of DDR5 memory and presents new RAM kits with improved clock rates and lower latencies. The new models of the Trident Z5 RGB, Trident Z5 Royal and Ripjaws M5 RGB series achieve 6800 MT/s at CL32 and 6400 MT/s at CL28 – a noticeable upgrade over the previous variants. New specifications [...]
We have already looked at some of this manufacturer’s backup and storage solutions in the past, but so far they have all been based on HDDs. Falling prices for SSDs, requirements for low latency with high throughput and perhaps even portability have fueled the popularity of “all-flash” solutions. And TerraMaster naturally [...]
ASRock has set new standards with its Z890 Taichi OCF mainboard series by achieving stable DDR5 memory speeds of over 10,000 MT/s for the first time using air cooling in a normal room climate. Records with DDR5 dual-channel configuration The Z890 Taichi OCF platform has already proven to be particularly powerful for memory overclocking on several [...]
Nowadays, there is an impressive variety of storage media from a wide range of manufacturers. But with so much choice, the question arises: which product is right for you? The possibilities seem endless. With the introduction of the new T-FORCE GA PRO PCIe 5.0 SSD, TEAMGROUP is expanding its popular T-FORCE range and could win over one or two [...]
Although the word “geil” is often used in German to describe something cool or great, it is not the German adjective that is meant here, but the company Golden Emperor International Ltd (GeIL). This Taiwanese company recently presented its latest CUDIMM and UDIMM DDR5 memory options in a press release, which could actually be [...]
With the Corsair MP700 Elite, Corsair offers a more economical alternative to the MP700 PRO SE already tested and uses the new expansion stage of the SSD design with the Phison E31T and fast Kioxia NAND for still above-average speed. Today I’m testing the 2 TB version WITH cooler, which unfortunately has only just arrived. So you don’t [...]
In addition to various new NAS models, TerraMaster recently introduced an external housing for up to eight data carriers. Personally, I’m more interested in centrally available network storage so that I can access it from several devices, but these USB solutions also have their advantages, of course. So let’s take a look at the D8 [...]
A few months ago, we already presented and tested its big brother, the F4-424 NAS. But since not everyone has enough data to fill four hard disks, there is of course also a 2-bay version. As the two models hardly differ technically, we also take a look at the new TOS6 beta. Click here for the test reports of the 4-bay version and its predecessor [...]
In the past, there have already been various announcements about DDR5 RAM and manufacturers have always loudly emphasized the impressive speeds of these modules and that they plan to produce ever faster modules in the future. The previous top model reached up to 10,000 MT/s. Now, however, ASUS and G.Skill have set a new world record and developed [...]
The Trident Z5 CK and Trident Z5 CK RGB series are based on the CU-DIMM standard, which includes an integrated clock driver (CKD) chip on the memory module. This chip is designed to improve the signal strength between CPU and memory IC chips, which supports stability during high-speed memory operations. DDR5-9000 speed in Gear-2 mode For [...]
DDR5 24 Gbit ICs or modules with 24 or 48 GB capacity have been available on the market for some time now, but so far only from SK Hynix and Micron. Samsung has now also followed suit and today we are taking a look at their first 24 Gbit product, the DDR5 Samsung 24 Gbit B-Die, in the guise of a G.Skill Ripjaws S5 kit. Especially for workstation [...]
Speed plays a central role in today’s world. Companies are therefore increasingly setting themselves the goal of overcoming performance limits and developing even faster solutions, which can also be seen in RAM. The Chinese company Colorful recently presented its new DDR5 CUDIMM memory, which is designed to achieve speeds of up to 10,000 [...]
TEAMGROUP has now introduced the T-FORCE XTREEM CKD DDR5 gaming memory, which is optimized for the new Intel platform. This memory expands the possibilities of overclocking and supports frequencies from 8200 to 9000 MHz (Gear 2) with 2×24 GB. In addition, overclocking capabilities of up to 9600 MHz (Gear 4) are possible. Users can boost the [...]
When it comes to the subject of SSDs, you always hear a wide variety of opinions. With or without DRAM? The SLC cache must be large and, above all, an SSD must be able to do everything. From simple office to gaming to total servitude in the workstation sector. The latter in particular places extreme demands on the SSD and this is then reflected in [...]
The company Asgard has presented its new RAM, the THOR DDR5 CUDIMM memory, which bears the name Thor to match the brand, but is also intended to impress with its lightning-fast speed, in the style of the Norse deity. Of course, one has to ask where the hammer hangs. But what does this new RAM offer that should be attractive to customers? It [...]
The Taiwanese company ADATA has presented its new RAM in a press release, which is intended to set new standards for ultimate gaming and performance. The XPG LANCER NEON RGB with DDR5 technology will be presented. This RAM is being launched under ADATA’s XPG gaming brand. Accordingly, the design has evolved from a flat triangular pattern to [...]
It has now been almost 3 months since we took a look at the NAS products of an unexpected new competitor on the market. So it’s a good time to take another look at UGOS and hopefully present the improvements that have appeared in the meantime. And since the 6-bay version is now also available, we’ll start with this one. If you are more [...]
Anyone who has been following me and my tests on igorslab.de for a while knows that whenever there is a new RAM IC on the market, I have to have it and test it immediately! After SK Hynix and Micron in particular have recently launched new memory chips on the market, Samsung is now following suit. Background and unboxing The 16 Gbit B-Die, which [...]
I got the obvious out of the way right from the title, so we can concentrate fully on the essentials … mostly. Because with this self-proclaimed NAS and router, this previously unknown manufacturer has brought something really interesting to the market. So let’s take a look together at what this little guy has to offer. Packaging and [...]
RGB is now ubiquitous in hardware. Unfortunately. Whether it’s graphics cards, SSDs, mice, keyboards or fans – the list is almost endless and seems to be constantly growing, with hardly an end in sight. Kingston has now also equipped some of its RAM with RGB and everyone knows that RGB delivers better performance, don’t they? At [...]
With the T-FORCE Z540, TeamGroup is selling its own NVMe SSD with PCIe Gen. 5, based on the penultimate iteration of the reference boards for the Phison E26. The SSD is therefore not completely brand new. Whether this was such a good idea remains to be seen, because I can compare it with the MSI SPATIUM M570, which is absolutely identical in [...]
