The Acer Predator is definitely a highly interesting SSD, because it combines a rather unknown controller (which does without DRAM as cache) with a very special Chinese 3D TLC NAND from YMTC. In this form, it is even (on paper) one of the fastest [...]

The first NVMe SSDs compatible with the latest PCI Express standard are now available from CFD Gaming. Even though platforms supporting this technology have been available to consumers for over a year, SSD manufacturers have not been in a hurry [...]
Today follows the last part of this little hobby project, but the end comes with a bang (metaphorically): Ryzen 7, 16GB RAM and a proud 32TB of storage. I had already teased the slightly extended version of the normal NAS, now it can finally show [...]
Although my topic has been preached by the old hands in the PC field in forums for decades and is often the approach of any solution to performance problems, the same questions keep popping up from less experienced users. I hope to reach them with [...]
JEDEC has started work on a suitable replacement for the SO-DIMM memory standard in the form of CAMM for laptops, which in turn has already been introduced by Dell. Because last year at CES (2022), Dell introduced a brand new storage technology [...]
With the MP600 GS, Corsair rounds off the SSD portfolio in the solid mid-range as well and meanwhile also benefits a bit from the price drop. Starting at around 10 cents per GB, the price is now just under 8 cents. Corsair offers a somewhat more [...]
Does it really always have to be the fastest data medium on paper and what do older SATA devices in the form of a 2.5″ SSD or a 3.5″ hard drive perform? Do we really need the latest product pushed on us by marketing, or can it be a few [...]
Let’s be honest: is there currently an SSD with 2 TB of storage available for under 50 Euros? If it were up to certain eBay “top sellers,” it probably would. This contradicts the search results in reputable stores, but maybe the [...]
We seamlessly follow up on the last article about my 3D-printed NAS, then today it’s all about commissioning and also finally performance testing. If you haven’t read the last article yet, you should definitely catch up on it. In this [...]
AMD’s new Ryzen 7000 desktop CPUs, based on the Zen4 micro-architecture, still use the same chiplet design as their predecessors, with a few small but not negligible changes. Igor already gave details about this in yesterday’s big review [...]
With DDR5-6600 CL32, the kit from today’s review is not only the fastest RAM kit in Corsair’s portfolio but even market-wide in Europe, at least at this point. The exterior is the familiar Dominator Platinum RGB design, which we had even [...]
Today I have a glimpse into the near future of RAM technology for you, and as is so often the case in the computer hardware industry, it comes from China, where SK Hynix’s new DDR5 memory ICs are already available for purchase today. With a [...]
For all those who deal intensively with RAM, the information about the installed memory components aka DRAM ICs of a module is of great importance, as is well known. Now that the second generation of DDR5 ICs will soon reach the market, a simple [...]
Vengeance RGB RAM modules were already available with DDR4 and now the colorful eye-catchers from Corsair have finally been relaunched with DDR5. Besides a sophisticated design with impressive RGB lighting, you of course get the latest in DDR5 [...]
Those who value data security will certainly like today’s article and the video of the hot stone. We are publicly destroying a not quite cheap 980 PRO 2 TB SSD today on behalf of Samsung’s warranty department. The correspondence, which I [...]
A little over a year ago, I presented an ITX gaming system here whose case came entirely from the 3D printer. Since then there were from me now and then smaller topics in this direction, today I present you my next big project with a small footprint [...]
G.Skill is probably one of the best-known brands in the desktop memory market and of course, the Taiwanese manufacturer also has several interesting SKUs for the new DDR5 standard on offer, of which we finally get to test one for you today [...]
Teamgroup has been offering some of the fastest memory modules for the platform with the T-Force DELTA DDR5 kits almost since the launch of Intel’s Alder Lake CPUs. At least on paper, other manufacturers have recently introduced even faster [...]
Today I want to talk about a guilty pleasure of mine, the overclocking of RAM, more precisely DDR5 and its timings. There is a strange difference between the specifications of JEDEC, the standard’s committee, and the Intel specifications of [...]
SK Hynix 16 Gbit M-Die is known to be the holy grail in terms of DDR5 overclocking, at least at time of writing. The prices for the fastest kits with clock rates in the XMP profile of over 6000 Mbps are still quite expensive. However, if you dare to [...]
Qualified Vendor Lists, or QVL for short, are probably familiar to anyone who has looked for a suitable pairing of motherboard and RAM kit. Since RAM kits with an XMP profile are not covered by the official specifications of the CPU manufacturers [...]
G.SKILL is constantly expanding its portfolio of DDR5 offerings. While a 2x 32 GB SKU with 6000 CL30 was added just a few weeks ago, the smaller but even faster 2x 16 GB 6600 CL34 kit is officially announced today. This is yet another variant of the [...]

I had already tested the MSI SPATIUM M480 with 2TB capacity, but now MSI has relaunched this SSD – with a trendy “Play” abbreviation in the name and the possibility to also install this storage device in a Sony PS5. The SPATIUM [...]
We recently already tested the Dominator Platinum RGB modules from Corsair, but not yet in the SKU with 6200 Mbps and Hynix M-Die ICs. Today, that is changing. Besides the usual tests, a teardown and overclocking, we also compare the modules with [...]
