Toshiba Canvio Flex 4TB USB 3.2 Gen 1 External HDD Review

Storage/HDD by stefan @ 2024-10-05 read/post comments(0)

The Canvio Flex 4TB drive from Toshiba does perform as expected for a 4TB 2.5’’ drive, MQ04UBB400 relying less on caching versus the drives found with Silicon Power external drives, which usually use Western Digital internals. Unlike models from WD, the internal board of the drive does offer a Micro-B 3.0 connector directly and not SATA, so no daughterboards are required here and the overall length of the total assembly is shorter. read more

Crucial P310 1TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe 2280 M.2 SSD Review

Storage/SSD by stefan @ 2024-10-05 read/post comments(0)

The P310 1TB drive from Crucial does perform near top TLC offerings, surprising for a QLC drive but presents itself with the usual shortcomings when talking about TBW versus TLC, while the lowest write speed directly to QLC is considerably lower, around some high-performance platter drives. Crucial P310 was clearly thought as a mainstream product, with no DRAM caching, while the temperatures remain excellent during intensive loads, allowing it to be used in systems with less-than-ideal cooling systems for the M.2 drive such as the PS5. read more

ENDORFY GEM Plus Wireless Onyx White Gaming Mouse Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2024-09-29 read/post comments(0)

For testing GEM Plus Onyx White Wireless, we fired up The Quarry, DOOM Remastered, Dustborn, Nier Automata and Blood Fresh Supply; thanks to the high-end sensor, the mouse tracked flawlessly, and we were quite happy with its grippy side panels as well, along with the top smooth surface, which increases the comfort levels. Using it in wired mode is also quite doable thanks to the paracord cable, which adds little to no drag, while the RGB lighting is not intrusive. read more

ACER Predator GM7 PCIe 4.0 M.2 4TB SSD Review

Storage/SSD by stefan @ 2024-09-24 read/post comments(0)

The Acer Predator GM7 does perform really well in terms of performance, even if we are not dealing with a DRAM-cached SKU, but one which uses HMB, while the operating temperatures are really good, allowing it to function in systems with less-than-ideal airflow in the drive area such as miniPCs, laptops or the PS5 console. read more
