ADATA SE730H External Solid State Drive Review

With file sizes of photos, video, and other content getting bigger we want fast storage to not only transfer these files between PCs, but to also view and work on large files or projects.

That is where portable solid state drives come in, they are small and compact, as well as offer some serious transfer speeds. Today we are checking out the ADATA SE730H, which comes in capacities up to 512GB and offers transfer speeds of up to 500 MB/s.

Gigabyte AB350N-Gaming WiFi Review

Can the bite sized Gigabyte AB350N-Gaming WiFi flex its muscles when compared to its bigger X370 brothers? Lately, we’ve seen custom builds sporting huge AIO coolers, lots of fans, and enough RGB to keep significant others up at night. But what happens when you trim off all that glitz and glam and get to the base requirements for a great system? And that's where the B350 comes in. AMD has placed this chipset right in the middle of its AM4 lineup where it supports both enthusiast-grade performance while shaving off enough features to satisfy our mainstream computing needs.

Logitech MX Ergo Wireless Trackball Review: Untethered, Precision Mousing

Trackballs were all the rage a couple of decades back, when mice weren’t nearly as accurate, maintenance-free, or ergonomic as today’s offerings. Logitech was a leader in the space back then, and had a handful of popular trackball designs in its line-up, including – my favorite -- the Trackman Marble. But over time, their popularity waned and mice got infinitely better.

Although trackballs never really went away completely, Logitech made some noise recently with the introduction of the MX Ergo. The new Logitech MX Ergo is a modern trackball with increased accuracy, a comfortable design, and lag-free wireless operation complete with a long lasting, rechargeable battery...

Samsung T5 Portable SSD review: fast lighweight

An external drive is ideal if you want to quickly back-up and transfer data in an easy way. Regular external hard drives are slow and primarily good for your coffee consumption. An external SSD is a lot faster. Samsung already raised the bar with their T3, but raises it once again with their brand new T5. We tested the Samsung Portable SSD T5 in the 500GB, 1TB and 2TB variants.

The Samsung T-series external SSDs has been small, light and fast since the first generation. The T5 continuous this trend. While the T3 was slightly bigger compared with its predecessor, the T5 is smaller- slightly smaller than a credit card. The weight barely changed: 51 grams. In short, a small gem that can easily fit in your pocket. Nevertheless this device is a lot faster than a bigger external hard drive.

Sapphire RX VEGA 64 Limited Edition Review

After several years of AMD refreshing previous generations, the wait is finally over. AMD has recently released their long-awaited VEGA line up of GPUs. Vega is the first GPU to use AMD’s all new 5th generation GCN, or Graphics Core Next architecture. Based on the 14nm FinFET architecture, the Vega architecture which is to target increased instructions per clock, higher clock speeds and supports HBM2 (High Bandwidth Memory). Now on paper, that all sounds great. However, AMD has been known to over hype product launches from time to time. Even with its short comings, the Fury X was a step in the right direction for AMD on the graphics side. That paired with how well the Ryzen launch went overall, gives AMD and VEGA some serious potential to take a chunk of the market from Nvidia, if executed properly. With how new, and popular VEGA is, it’s been difficult to get our hands on a card. So, our friends at Cutting Edge Gamer were nice enough to loan us the Sapphire RX Vega 64 Limited Edition for test out. So, let’s throw this card on the bench and see how it does against the competition.
