Phison E18 Controller – 7.4GB/s Read?

by

Phison’s new E18 SSD controller is currently being stamped onto some test drives somewhere in the world, and we have an exlcusive sneak peak at some early benchmark numbers. Check this insanity out. The Phison E18 SSD controller is pumping away here at 7.38GB/sec, with writes of 7GB/sec. We’ve been teased about this from Sabrent’s next-gen Rocket 4 Plus SSD screaming along at 7GB/sec but now we have some real-world results from an actual Phison E18 SSD controller at past 7GB/sec up to 7.38GB/sec.

PCWorld: ATX12VO Hands-On Look

by

ATX12VO does require a sacrifice. Newer power supplies will jettison support for old-school 3.3-volt and 5-volt rails, and concentrate solely on producing 12-volt power. But after kicking the tires on a pair of ATX12VO motherboards as well as an actual ATX12VO PSU, we can say that the future of desktop PC power looks brighter—and your old-friend legacy parts aren’t moving too far away.

Team Group T-Force Xtreem ARGB 3600C14 16GB

by

Undeniably, the styling of Team Group’s T-Force Xtreem ARGB memory modules is a distinguishing feature. The sticks use a black aluminium heatspreader in combination with 15 zones of LEDs pumping out light through a mirror-finish type diffuser. Personally, I like the LED styling which I would describe as well-balanced and surprisingly subtle in terms of light intensity.
