Overclockersclub: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti FE Review
Today we will be taking a look at NVIDIA's fourth product launch under the Ampere architecture umbrella. The RTX 3060 Ti is cut from the same GA104 silicon used in the RTX 3070. NVIDIA has positioned it as a direct replacement of RTX 2060 SUPER, which was the entry-level of the Turing architecture and which supported the early raytracing and DLSS feature set. Now that ray-tracing has been fully implemented into DirectX 12 Ultimate and Vulkan API, game developers no longer have to rely on special implementation to get it to work. Now the only requirement is to have a DX12U and/or Vulkan capable graphics card from either AMD or NVIDIA.

LanOC Reviews: Terra Master TD2 Thunderbolt3 Plus
With portability being a big focus, Ultrabooks and almost the entire laptop market except for gaming laptops have traded features like DVD/BluRay drives, Ethernet ports, and expandable storage in the name of keeping laptops thin. This has even pushed some to focus on the newer Type-C connection and with it Thunderbolt for nearly everything including charging. For some this hasn’t been a big deal, but others have leaned on dongles and other adapters to add things back. Even I have been using portable SSDs for supplemental storage on my own laptop, especially now with a lot of laptops even soldering on the SSD. Well, TerraMaster has their TD2 Thunderbolt3 Plus which is at its core an external Thunderbolt 3 enclosure for two hard drives, but once I started to dig in I noticed it is much more. Let's take a look.
