Adata SD600 External SSD Review

Up to 512GB of fast and nimble USB storage. What is it that makes rugged items so appealing? I don't tend to go walking in the rain, yet I do like a good pair of Gore-Tex boots, and though I won't be climbing Everest anytime soon, I do want a jacket that can withstand hurricane-force winds.

Understanding that this fascination exists among consumers, hardware manufacturers are keen to put forth robust products that can withstand a fair bit of abuse. One category that frequently undergoes a rugged makeover is storage, and Adata has bolstered its portfolio with the SD600 External SSD.

ADATA SD700 512GB External SSD Capsule Review

​Flash-based external direct-attached storage (DAS) devices have been rapidly evolving over the last few years. The USB Type-C interface standard has prompted vendors to release updates to their lineup, but, the legacy USB 3.0 interfaces continue to remain popular. On the storage media side for SSDs, there has been a shift from MLC to TLC, and now, to 3D TLC. Flash has recently been at a premium as the foundries ramp up 3D NAND production while bringing down the MLC and regular TLC volume. This has led to SSDs and other flash-based products being sold at a premium. Amongst companies that dont manufacture their own flash memory, ADATA was one of the first to announce and ship products based on 3D NAND (purchasing the flash from IMFTs 3D NAND output).

We have already reviewed the ADATA Ultimate SU800 SSDs on the internal drive front. Along with the Ultimate SU800, ADATA also launched the SD700, an IP68 rated external SSD with 3D NAND. The unit comes with either an yellow or a black jacket, and its shell makes it shockproof in addition to its dust- and water-proof nature.

ASUS ROG Rampage V Edition 10 Review

Overclocking comes in several flavors on the Rampage V Edition 10. Using ASUS F11 tool in the BIOS or choosing one of several options in the Extreme Tweaker section of the UEFI BIOS let you sit back and watch the tools work. In this case, a solid 3.875GHz overclock was as simple as choosing the tool in the BIOS and selecting it. Using the 5-Way Optimization tool in AiSuite III within the operating system follows the same algorithms, but adds a few more twists into the mix by tuning fan performance, as well as the CPU and DRAM performance settings. Manual overclocking is going to get you the highest overclock with most boards and this one is no different in that regard. A speed of 4.4GHz is the maximum all core overclock my Core i7 6950X can deliver with even the custom water cooling solution I use. However, if you want a no fuss overclock, this board delivers and you can always push a little harder.

EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 Review

Saving the best until last? Rumours on the grape vine suggest that AMD will struggle to match the speed of the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti when its brand-new Vega architecture comes to bear in a couple of months' time. This is why, when we were out in Taiwan for Computex, most Nvidia add-in board (AIB) partners didn't seem unduly perturbed by AMD's imminent arrival. Of course, rumours are just that, so wait to see if there is actual meat on this rumour's bones.

What's clear is that, admittedly expensive, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti will remain very much a premium choice for the remainder of 2017. We have looked at plenty of said cards in the preceding few months, and today's offering is likely to be the last for a while. Let's make a good 'un, right?

G.Skill Trident Z RGB 32GB DDR4-3600 Review

With programable RGB LEDs, a high DDR4-3600 data rate, and solid CAS 16 timings, is G.Skill’s latest lighted RAM the best of everything? I’m not much for long product names, but Trident Z RGB doesn’t seem too excessive. Add the DDR4-3600 to it, and it’s getting slightly lengthy. Oh, and there’s the CAS 16 rating. Fortunately, G.Skill makes its model numbers a little easier to read than many of its competitors, as the “4” stands for DDR4, 3600 is the data rate, C16 is the latency, the Q means quad-DIMM, 32 is the gigabytes of capacity, and GTZ is the style. Unfortunately, R stands for RGB on its black-and-gray heat spreaders, where G.Skill uses the same letter on other modules to denote the color red. And with that, model F4-3600C16Q-32GTZR is born.

So much for the decoder ring. On to the details.

Kaby Lake Apple iMacs have upgradeable CPUs and RAM

They are the first iMacs since 2012 to offer such expansion / upgrade facilities. Earlier this week Apple held its annual WWDC, where quite a lot of shiny, slim new Apple hardware (and new OS software) was launched. We duly noted the first content creator professional targeted iMac, the aptly named Apple iMac Pro, and also a pair of powerful and sleek new iPad Pro tablets, again fishing for high-end content creator customers. With such headlining products the refreshed iMac line didn't earn many column inches. However, as revealed by a new iFixIt teardown, the refreshed Kaby Lake iMacs are the first since 2012 to feature a non-soldered Intel CPU, and the first to offer removable / upgradeable RAM since 2013.

Lenovo IdeaCentre AIO Y910 Gaming PC Review

The words all-in-one PC and gaming typically don’t go together. All-in-one PCs are typically made to be productivity computers that offer a very small footprint. Well Lenovo is changing the idea of an all-in-one PC with their IdeaCentre AIO Y910 Gaming PC. Since it is designed for gaming inside you’ll find a Core i7-6700 processor, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card, 16GB of DDR4 memory, 256 GB PCIe SSD, and a 1TB hard drive. All of this is inside of what is basically a 27-inch monitor. The monitor itself is pretty awesome too, rocking a 2560 x 1440 QHD resolution and edgeless display. Could this be the ideal solution for a gamer on the go? Or someone who does not have that much space to work with? We are going to put it through the paces and see just how well it performs!

Linksys WRT3200ACM AC3200 Wireless Router Review

After our recent adventures with mesh networking in the shape of the NETGEAR Orbi (http://www.kitguru.net/peripherals/james-morris/netgear-orbi-ac3000-tri-band-router-review/) and Linksys Velop (http://www.kitguru.net/peripherals/james-morris/linksys-velop-ac2200-triband-router-retest-and-new-features/) , it’s time to bring things back down to earth a bit with a more mainstream router. This isn’t to say that the Linksys WRT3200ACM is run-of-the-mill. But the sub-£200 price and features make it more like the kind of device you would consider as a sensible improvement over or replacement of the wireless router that came with your broadband.

MINIX NEO Z83-4 Fanless Mini PC Review: Affordable, Dead-Silent Media Streaming

We dig burly, decked-out gaming PCs stuffed with powerful hardware as much as the next guy around here. Sleek, ultra small form factor systems like the MINIX Neo Z83-4 we’ll be showing you here today, however, also have a certain appeal. Powerful gaming PCs are awesome for their intended purpose, but try sticking one in a typical home theater setup and things can so sideways. Not only will it usually look out of place, but there are power, heat, and noise considerations to worry about.
