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 [...]
Do you even need an NVMe SSD with PCIe 5.0 like the Corsair MP700 Pro and if so, where is the pain threshold for the price? 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 could have guessed that [...]
Synology’s DS923 has already been on the market for a year, whereas they already took their time with the DS920. By the way, long product cycles are more of an advantage than a disadvantage in my opinion, because the product and software mature without blind haste. With an AMD Ryzen R1600 as the main processor, four drive bays, two M.2 slots [...]
The NAS article actually planned for today has to wait until next week, the delivery delays for certain components has unfortunately (once again) put a spoke in my wheel. But at least a nice workaround fell in front of my feet, with which you can also beat Amazon a bargain with your own stock. Sure, the whole thing is no big deal, but with a [...]
Half a year ago I had contact with Caseking regarding this case, but at that time it was simply not yet available in Germany. Until then, I was allowed to test the N1 extensively. The problem with the availability of the N2 is now solved, so we can finally take a look at it today! Here you can read the review of the mentioned N1: Packaging and [...]
In today’s review, I took a closer look at Cooler Master’s Oracle Air because I still had it stored on the shelf of good deeds waiting for redemption. Anyone who thinks a review of a massive external enclosure for NVMe SSDs would be boring has never really paid attention to the details. I currently have a lot of things on my mind and [...]
The NETAC NV7000-t 2TB NVMe SSD is actually a highly interesting SSD, because it combines (like the already reviewed Acer Predator GM 7) a (still) quite exotic controller (that 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 PCIe-4 SSDs without a DRAM cache and [...]
If the best solid state drives (SSDs) can’t meet the need for ultra-fast storage, it might be worth considering trying HighPoint’s latest RocketAIC card. This enterprise-class PCIe 4.0 add-in card (AIC) is designed for reliability and longevity, according to the manufacturer. The RocketAIC is offered with up to 122 TB of storage [...]
The first gaming benchmarks of AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs with the latest AM5 BIOS, which is supposed to improve memory performance and support, have been published by Quasarzone and the results are not necessarily convincing. The latest AM5 BIOS is said to improve DDR5 memory support and overclocking of the Ryzen 7000 CPUs, but gaming performance [...]
