    Enthusiast Transforms QLC SSD Into SLC With Drastic Endurance and Performance Increase

    I dislike QLC as much as the next guy, and I have a weird obsession with Optane even though I have no need for its performance/endurance but... QLC isn't the devil, and not all QLC is made equal. Most people do not need to be worrying about hibernation or pagefile or even write endurance as...

    Micron First to Production of 200+ Layer QLC NAND in Client and Data Center

    QLC isn't necessarily bad, especially for read sequential workloads like many do with HDDs, though a lot of consumer-grade ones suck. This single 60TB 2.5" SSD has decent latency and 65PBW endurance (36TBW/day for 5 years). It has 7000MB/s for seq. read and 1M IOPS 4K-QD256 random read.

    MINISFORUM Formally Launches V3 High-Performance AMD AI 3-in-1 Tablet

    I think they are bundling the keyboard and back-cover, the latter looks like it folds into a v-shape to become a kickstand like you see in the 3rd picture

    Reviewers Evaluate Framework's Laptop 16

    0) USB4 CAN be implement without mandatory TB4 features, however I've only seen USB4 solutions that DO implement them. You won't have issues with TB4 devices AFAIK. 1 & 2) beauty of the open expansion bay module is that people can create these weird solutions, like adding WWAN, m.2 etc. This is...

    AV Access Introduces iDock C10, the Ultimate 4K Dual Monitor KVM Switch Docking Station for Home Office & Gaming

    For <200$, Laptop input is 20Gbps, and it may do 4K120 at 4:2:0... not bad, but DP 1.4a output or at least being able to use that front usb-c for DP 1.4a would have been nice. A TB4 KVM dock would be nice, but KVMs with USB-C are super weird and unreliable these days for some reason. I do like...

    Seasonic to Launch New MagFlow 120 ARGB Fan

    Wait, Seasonic makes fans? They apparently even make a couple cases! Apart from the magnetic connector stuff, anyone have experience with the quality of their non-ARGB fan?

    Vendor Greed? Or did I smoke one too many?

    It's poor customer service and a bit short sighted not to be flexible with your customer business-wise, I think we all agree on that. That said, you're not entitled to his goodwill, at least not legally in BC. You asked nicely, but you're going to be the A-hole if you start attacking him/his...

    be quiet! Introduces Dark Base 701 Case

    There is something about bequiet! cases, fans and coolers that make me not notice the noise, compared to, say, a mesh case with Noctua fans. Sound signature matters a lot to some people who are sensitive to noise fans/computers produce. I'll say that I've also found the old basic Phanteks 140mm...
