We’ve tested one other TLC NAND drive recently, the MyDigitalSSD BP5e. We found that while this drive has made some progress on the performance front relative to other TLC drives, there were still significant limitations in sustained write speeds and...

Now for something a little different, and the pun was intended. We have had the pleasure of a Lian Li chassis before, the PC-V1000 and it was amazing. This was in the day when you still had beige boxes and desktop chassis, where are they now? There has been a significant increase in mITX chassis and Lian Li have designed and released several examples in their usual style, and very much like the Lian Li PC-V1000.

Solid state drives are very different from the legacy HDD’s, but not just in a technology sense. HDD’s had pretty much hit their development peak when SSD’s started to take off. They have since seen a rebirth with much larger capacities and new technologies keeping them well ahead of the SSD variety of storage. This was more about capacity than anything else, whereas SSD’s have the untapped development edge to their name and having non storage manufacturers developing the technology.

Just like most current PCIex SSDs the HyperX Predator by Kingston is based on a “marriage” between a PCIex v.2 x4 lanes interface card and a M.2 2280 (m-key) form factor card. This pairing allows for much higher data transfer...

Nanoxia are a name you should know, and their Deep Silence chassis already has a following out there in modders land. With that said, it’s hard for a designer and manufacturer of system chassis and other cooling components to make a name for themselves in the shadow of the mainstream corporations.

Kingston have always been manufacturers of RAM memory and flash devices, and in more recent years storage manufacturers. Why, well until the advent of SSD's, Kingston did not manufacture large storage discs, in fact we don't recall them ever creating an old school HDD. Let's jump ahead and enter the HyperX Savage range, their top SSD drive in their consumer range. Taking aim at the likes of Samsung and Crucial, the HyperX Savage range has some stiff competition
