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 [...]
If you want to store vast amounts of data quickly or simply load it quickly into your favorite game, you have a large selection of different hard drives. On the one hand, HHDs, which are less suitable for loading in, for example. But then there are SSDs, which are much better. But which SSD is best for you? Perhaps you can see for yourself with [...]
MSI is setting new standards in performance and efficiency with the launch of its next generation Spatium SSD series, the Spatium M580 Gen5 and Spatium M560 Gen5. The M580 Gen5 sets itself apart from the competition with innovative non-metallic vapor chamber cooling, while the M560 Gen5 offers a cost-effective DRAM-less option for Gen5 speed. [...]
The memory landscape for desktop PCs is about to be revolutionized with the introduction of the CAMM2 standard and the new generations of DDR6 and LPDDR6 memory. These breakthrough technologies not only offer significantly faster speeds, but also enable easier upgrades, improved energy efficiency and innovative designs that will redefine the [...]
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 [...]
