480GB HyperX Predator M.2 PCIe SSD Review

HyperX today released the HyperX Predator PCIe SSD! This highly anticipated drive was supposed to ship in February 2015, but was delayed a number of weeks in order to give Kingston time to perfect the firmware on their new highest-end SSD. Getting the HyperX Predator PCIe SSD firmware dialed in was important to everyone at Kingston as not only is this their flagship SSD in the HyperX lineup, but it is also Kingston Technology's very first M.2 PCI Express drive! Read on to see how it performs!

ASUS ZenFone 6 Mobile Review

Over the last decade ASUS have built up a reputation in creating quality graphics cards and motherboards, however they have yet to make a massive splash in the mobile phone sector. In for review today is the ASUS ZenFone 6 mobile phone. Priced at just £249.99 for a 6-inch phone, the ZenFone aims for those after the biggest phones without the biggest price tags. Could the ZenFone appeal to those otherwise priced out of the market?

Cougar 700K Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Review

Since 2007, Cougar has been using its brand philosophy of “Passion x Innovation” to design computer peripherals. Recently Cougar has introduced the 700K mechanical gaming keyboard as one more example of their commitment to provide the products that users would want for both work and play.

Built with a brushed finish aluminum structure set into a plastic frame, the Cougar 700K has a sturdy feel while the non-slip rubber feet give a firm base. The keys have large letters, numbers and punctuation marks that can be lit up with an LED backlight at five illumination levels, and they feature Cherry MX mechanical switches for added response and tactile feedback.

Using the Cougar UIX Software with the keyboard's on-board memory, you can store up to three profiles that are quickly accessed and changed on-the-fly using the three Mode keys. These keys are located on the upper left of the keyboard next to the Macro Record (MR) key. You also have six G keys (5 along the left side of the keyboard and one split space bar key) to program, but you can also select any 10 keys to customize.

Crucial MX200 1TB SSD Review

Who like to assemble a new PC or want to replace the old hard drive with a fast SSD, needs to select the proper size. If you do not know, if 250 GB or 500 GB is really enough capacity, you should read this review of the brand-new MX200 with 1 TB. Because after the previous test of the MX200 with 500 GB we want to test the 1 Terabyte type of the MX200 on OCinside.de today. We compare the Crucial MX200 1 TB SSD CT1000MX200SSD1 with the Crucial C300, m4, M500, M550, MX100, MX200 500 GB, and let many more solid state drives and hard drives compete against it.

Crucial MX200 250GB SSD Review

Even up to 3-4 years ago none of us here expected to see a time (at least not as fast) when manufacturers would be able to release solid state drives (SSDs) with really good performance levels that would cost as low as USD0.35 per Gigabyte. Of course back then we also didn't expect to see SSD models (at least not for many years to come) that would be able to max-out the SATA III (6Gb/s) standard so i have to say that things turned out much better than we'd hoped (still i think they could had been even better). Further price reductions however as we speak seem to be the primary goal most manufacturers have so more and more models land around the price/capacity mark mentioned earlier in an effort to attract even casual users to the world of SSDs. Crucial just recently released their BX100 and MX200 lines and since we last tested the entry-level BX100 250GB model today we'll be testing their high-end MX200 250GB model.

Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate Edition 6-Years Later Review

Six years after we first entered Ferelden and joined the Grey Wardens, is it worth returning and fighting the Blight? I definitely believe it is. Dragon Age: Origins is a very fun and expertly done fantasy RPG that few can match. It also offers more content than many other games. It does show its age as the graphics really are not standing up well anymore. Nothing looks outright bad; just not that good. Story is still one of its strengths, as is its gameplay with neither giving much cause for complaint. If you are looking for a good high-fantasy RPG and do not already own this (especially the Ultimate Edition with all of the DLC) you probably should.

Microlab T2 Bluetooth Headset Review

A little while ago we took a look at Microlabs T1 Bluetooth headset, and now to complement that, Microlab have released the T2. Priced a little lower than the T1, the T2 is a lightweight and compact Bluetooth headset packed with 40mm drivers and is available in Citrus, Orange and Sky Blue colours against a rubberised black finish. Unlike the T1, it does away with various flashy features, such as being able to fold and various included accessories, making the T2 a 'no fuss' Bluetooth headset solution. However, it does away with the versatility too, meaning it can only be used via Bluetooth.

Netflix Review

While Stan, Presto and Quickflix have done a good job of giving Australians a Netflix-like experience of late, we've all been waiting for the big one to arrive.Netflix Australia is finally here, and there's one question on everyone's lips: how does it stack up to the US version of the service?Best Netflix shows: 25 great television seriesCheapest stream aroundNetflix Australia starts from $8.99 per month for the entry-level, single-stream standard definition package, all the way up to $14.99 for the deluxe, 4K quality, four-stream package.While not everyone is going to be able to take advantage of 4K streaming quality, either due to the resolution capabilities of their TV set, or the bandwidth quality that's available to them, the package is unquestionably great value.

Noctua NH-U9S CPU Cooler Review

Today I will be reviewing the Nocua NH-U9S CPU cooler brought to us by Noctua. I recently reviewed another 92mm cooler from Noctua and was surprisingly pleased with the results. As always Noctua has made the option to run dual-fans easy breezy. Noctua has hit the mark on designing every cooler with the option of adding a second fan which is a huge cooling benefit. At 92mm, that does not sound like much but when the temperatures rise and the fans begin to hum the NH-U9S cooling capabilities will come to life. I noticed on the last cooler from Noctua that I tested with an optional second fan I seen an increase of 10% cooling performance. Noctua has a strong name in CPU cooling all stemming from the Behemoth NH-D15.  Noctua has graciously sent us the NH-D15 in the past, so not only do we get to compare the NH-U9S with various other coolers, but we get to see a head-to-head battle with Noctua's best. The NH-U9S is loaded with heat-pipes. There are a total of 5 heat-pipes running through the base and extending out and up each side throughout the cooling fins. This design alone looks like a cooling machine. I can not wait any longer to see the cooling capablilties of NH-U9S!

Continuing the renowned legacy of Noctua’s award-winning NH-U9 series, the NH-U9S is a premium quality quiet CPU cooler in classic 9cm size. Its asymmetrical design with 5 heatpipes not only provides even better cooling performance than the previous generation but also improves compatibility: Thanks to its 95x95mm footprint, the NH-U9S clears the RAM and PCIe slots on all Intel and most AMD based mainboards, including µATX and ITX. Combined with its 125mm height, this makes the NH-U9S a highly versatile solution with excellent case, RAM and PCIe compatibility. The included NF-A9 premium fan supports automatic speed control via PWM for outstanding quietness of operation and a second, optional NF-A9 fan can be added for further improved performance in dual fan mode. Topped off with the trusted, pro-grade SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system, Noctua’s proven NT-H1 thermal compound and full 6 years manufacturer’s warranty, the NH-U9S is a deluxe choice through and through.

OCZ Vector 180 480GB and 960GB Review

Regular readers of KitGuru will know that OCZ have been making amends to repair their reputation with the enthusiast audience. They feel so confident in their latest technology that they asked us recently to kill 5 of their ARC 100 drives (latest update and links back http://www.kitguru.net/components/ssd-drives/leo-waldock/ocz-challenge-update-2nd-arc-100-drive-dies-at-352tb/HERE). Today it is time to take a look at their new SSD drive – the Vector 180. OCZ sent us their 480GB and 960GB models which feature power failure management, Toshiba A19 NAND flash, ShieldPlus Warranty and 100,000 random IOPS capabilities. These drives have a warranty of 50GB a day of host writes – for 5 years.

OCZ Vector 180 Series SSD Review - 480 and 960 GB

We review the all new OCZ Vector 180 - 480 and 960GB SSDs. Based on an Indilinx Barefoot 3 controller the product comes with the latest iteration of Toshiba NAND flash memory. The end result is an SSD series that is very fast, versatile and competitive in terms of pricing; combine that with endurance and power outage protection and this series might be a little gem. Compared to the Vector 150 you'd at first think there aren't many changes, but there are...

Performance wise you are looking at a product series that ranks high up there with the others with speeds running towards 550 MB/sec on reads and even 530 MB/sec on writes, but there are some cool new options. Among others you can now pick a 960GB model, a volume size that is growing rapidly in popularity. That's next to 120, 240 and 480 GB versions of course. Durability and endurance are two factors that breathe and ooze reliability. In today's review for example we'll look at the product and see how fast it remains even after thrashing the SSD with over 3TB host writes written. Next to that there is one other feature we must mention, OCZ has embedded Power Failure Management Plus into this drive. It is a feature that MANY, if not all of us will really like. You will spot a capacitor on the PCB. In case of a crash or sudden power loss, the SSD will now have enough power to safely shutdown.

OCZ's Vector 180 solid-state drive reviewed

top me if you've heard this one before. An SSD maker walks into a fab and orders a round of NAND built on the latest process. The chips are swapped into an existing drive based on a familiar controller, the firmware is tweaked as necessary, and the model number is incremented by an arbitrary margin. With a fresh sticker affixed, a new solid-state drive is born.

Lousy punchline, I know. But the joke is on me, because I have to figure out how to write about OCZ's new Vector 180 without putting you all to sleep.

This is OCZ we're talking about, so maybe that task won't be too difficult. The company's SSDs went through quite a rough patch a few years ago, in part due to their early adoption of SandForce controller technology that was still rough around the edges. OCZ has been rehabilitating its reputation ever since, and it seems to be on the right track since being acquired by Toshiba in late 2013.

SanDisk Connect Wireless Media Drive Review

Sharing content wirelessly is something that is the norm in today's modern society. With our mobile devices, computers, and the cloud, everything is in sync and in a constant stream of access. But what happens if you do not have decent broadband internet access, or you are travelling – what do you do then? Well, you could load up one device with everything you need and bring some USB flash drives to pass around to share with others. Or you could look for a more intuitive solution.Enter the SanDisk Connect Wireless Media Drive. This cool little device is a portable home entertainment system that can fit in your pocket and stream HD flicks to up to five devices simultaneously, for about eight hours on a single charge. The Wireless Media Drive uses MicroUSB to charge, which doubles as a way to connect the Media Drive to a computer to drag-and-drop files onto it – and it comes with an SD Card slot to instantly share photos. How much does this SanDisk gadget cost? Well, there are only two models, a 32GB drive and a 64GB drive. The 32GB drive costs £65 ($80, which is around AU$103), and the 64GB drive is £80 ($109, which is around AU$155).

SilverStone Precision Series PS11 Case Review

Okay lets stop accentuating the negatives, because there are some good parts as well. For the compromises you do make you get a nice looking case that has a really nice mirrored finish emblem two fully autonomous USB 3.0 Ports and some small amount of foam on the inside of the panels to keep them from vibrating to the heartbeat of your hard drives for $50.00. The engineering is really neat as the whole top panel can be completely removed to easily build inside. Don't worry, there are no mention of the 10 screws that hold the top cover on, in the manual, but if you are fortunate enough to have read this review or you figured out on your own why they used Phillips head screws to hold the top panel instead of rivets, then you can remove them quickly and effortlessly and replace the top back on after the build is completed.
