Bitdefender BOX Home Network Security

Bitdefender is a Romanian internet security company which has been around since 2001. They are well recognized in this field and claim to have around 500 million users in the home and corporate environments. But up until about a year ago their products were software based, and then they introduced the BOX. The BOX is a hardware device that is designed to protect all devices on a user's network (including IoT devices) from malware, viruses, hackers, ransomware, phishing, etc. A new vulnerability assessment feature checks your devices to make sure you don't unknowingly have your guard down, which could allow data theft, malicious attacks, or other intrusions. The box also incorporates what they call Active Threat Control (ATC) which is designed to flag suspicious behavior.

Cooler Master Masterbox 5 Case Review

Casemodding is the process of modifying your computer case to suit your needs. Sometimes this is something simple like a color change or can be more involved to support a complex water loop or hardware the case was never designed to handle. Either way the distinguishing factor is changing something on the case. In the early days casemodding was rather easy to spot because the modifications required a fair amount of skill to complete.

With the rise of modular case designs the modding aspect of casemodding has become simpler allowing users to assemble creative system builds that would have been otherwise impossible to accomplish, at least by a novice user.

In this review I’ll be looking at the MasterBox 5 from Cooler Master. The MasterBox is a new series that brings with many of the modding concepts found in MasterCase Series at a much lower pricepoint.

Cooler Master MasterBox 5 Case Review

Like most case manufacturers, Cooler Master is constantly looking at the enthusiast’s to see what the next big trend in computer cases will be. Last year, Cooler Master came out with their MasterCase line, designed at making a modular case. Purchase one model, and then purchase add-on parts to modify and customize the case. With the success of that line, they are now expanding their maker series with the MasterBox, where “You Decide the Inside”. Where the MasterCase allowed for a high degree of customization both inside and out, the MasterBox looks to simplify the customization of the interior. Today, we take a closer look at the Cooler Master MasterBox 5!

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 G1 GAMING Review

We review the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 G1 GAMING. This puppy is factory customized and comes all tweaked and cooled so much better opposed to the founders edition. And it looks fantastic as well. Join me in a review of this 8 GB demon From Gigabyte, the GTX 1070 G1 GAMING located under SKU code GV-N1070G1 GAMING-8GD with that all new WindForce cooler. The 1070 has been a hit ever since the its release a coupld of weeks ago. Crazy stuff, and that is testimony to the fact that you guys have been waiting very long on the new graphics cards from both AMD and Nvidia. It's for good reason, the graphics card industry, or the GPU industry has been on hold, waiting for a smaller GPU fabrication process to become viable. Last generation GPUs were based on a 28 nm fabrication, an intermediate move to 20 nm was supposed to be the answer for today’s GPUs, but it was a problematic technology. Aside from some smaller ASICs the 20 nm node has been a fail. Therefore the industry had to wait until an ever newer and smaller fabrication process was available in order to shrink the die which allows for less voltage usage in the chips, less transistor gate leakage and, obviously, more transistors in a GPU. The answer was to be found in the recent 14/15/16 nm fabrication processors and processes with the now all too familiar FinFET + VLSI technology (basically wings on a transistor). Intel has been using it for a while, and now both Nvidia and AMD are moving towards such nodes as well. Nvidia is the first to announce their new products based on a TSMC 16 nm process fab by introducing Pascal GPU architecture, named after the mathematician much like Kepler, Maxwell and Fermi. That stage has now passed, the GeForce GTX 1070 and 1080 have been announced with the 1080 slowly becoming available in stores as we speak, the 1070 cards you'll start to see selling by next week (June 10th 2016). Both cards are equally impressive in it's product positioning, though I do feel the 1070 will be the more attractive product due to it's price level, the 1080 cards really is what everybody want (but perhaps can't afford). The good news though is that the board partner cards will sell for less opposed to the Nvidia reference / Founder edition cars. Obviously the higher-end all customized SKUs will likely level with that founders edition card price level again, but I am pretty certain you'd rather spend your money on a fully customized AIB card that is already factory tweaked a bit opposed the the reference one.

The Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming is fitted with a high-end Pascal GP104 based GPU. A product series that is to replace the GeForce GTX 980. The card has a nice dark aesthetic feel and comes with the new revised ACX cooler. The GeForce GTX 1070 is all about that Pascal GP104 GPU, yet for obvious reasons had to be slowed down a bit opposed to the 1080. The GeForce GTX 1070 might have the same GP104 GPU housed on it's PCB as that 1080, however it is a cut-down version of the GPU as Nvidia stripped away some segments. Where the GeForce GTX 1080 has 2560 shader processors, the GeForce GTX 1070 has 1920 shader processors. This means it is has 15 out of the 20 SMs active (15 streaming multi-processors x 128 shader cores). In order of magnitude, the secondary biggest change is the memory type being "regular GDDR5" memory and not the new and hip GDDR5X. That memory is clocked at 2,000 MHz which is 8 GHz (GDDR5-effective) at a memory bandwidth of 256 GB/s. The two differences are responsible for a performance drop from 9 TFLOP/s Single-precision floating point performance for the GeForce GTX 1080 towards 6.45 TFLOP/s for the GeForce GTX 1070.

Huawei P9 Review: A beautifully designed, high-end flagship

The Huawei P9 is a high-end flagship constructed with precision and quality while packing modern hardware in every corner. It isn’t just your typical collection of high-end specs. Huawei has attempted to think outside the box in some respects, packing in features like two 12-megapixel cameras on the rear, and a home-grown HiSilicon Kirin 955 SoC on the inside.

Ozone Neon 3K Review

We had a look at the Ozone Neon a couple of years ago and we felt that its classic design and shape coupled with its strong performance made it rather commendable. Now in 2016, Ozone have remixed the Neon with the Pixart 3320 optical sensor to give gamers that zero acceleration, responsive performance many crave for competitive gaming.

Aside from the 3500DPI optical sensor and the ambidextrous shape, the Neon 3K sports 128kb of on-board memory which can save up to 5 profiles, up to 1000Hz polling, uses OMRON switches, 8 programmable buttons, and you can choose between 6 colours for the LED lighting. It also has a textured rubberised surface for extra grip.

Samsung 850 EVO SSD Review (4TB) – Bigger than Ever!!!

Samsung is a force to be reckoned with in the SSD market. With such a large share, they are the biggest player there is. This allows them to push the boundaries of what products they can deliver and when. In today’s case, Samsung has just released another update to their 850 EVO line, this time it is huge.

First launched in late 2014 (http://thessdreview.us7.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=3d9b6193ffd32dd60e84fc74b&id=ecfee89801&e=1230c2ab07) , the Samsung 850 EVO has been one of the most successful storage products yet. With so many sold and consumers demanding more capacity, they initially expanded their capacity range to 2TB last year (http://thessdreview.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3d9b6193ffd32dd60e84fc74b&id=94dd2526b2&e=1230c2ab07) , however, if you thought a 2TB SSD was enough, think again. Today we have in our hands a 4TB 850 EVO with their latest 48-layer V-NAND (http://thessdreview.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3d9b6193ffd32dd60e84fc74b&id=be3d4fede7&e=1230c2ab07) . That’s right, a 4TB consumer SSD! Because you wanted it, they delivered. With 4TB of capacity, the Samsung 850 EVO is the largest consumer SSD out. SSDs are now starting to nip at the heels of HDDs in terms of shear storage capacity and we don’t expect it to be much longer until SSDs match
or exceed them, though the price may not be as great as we hope.

Because of its large capacity, it comes with an even larger price tag. $1499.99 to be exact (http://thessdreview.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3d9b6193ffd32dd60e84fc74b&id=4b72595777&e=1230c2ab07) . While that is the cost of a whole gaming system and out of the reach of many, if you have the need for a drive of this size and the ability to buy one, there is nothing else currently comparable…except for something of the enterprise flavor, but if that were the case, you probably wouldn’t mind a few of these on top as backup drives now would you? We sure wouldn’t! Anyways, the thought of a 4TB in a laptop or desktop system used to be a dream to many, but now it can be a reality to some. Enough with the gibber gabber, let’s get on with the review shall we?

Seagate Enterprise Capacity v5 8TB Review

With SSDs evolving at a breakneck speed, there are times when the rapid changes to traditional spindle-based storage are simply overlooked. And yet in the last year or so there have been several massive steps forward for HDD technology which has allowed drives to better compete against the rising SSD tide, at least from a price for capacity standpoint. For example, Western Digital has moved towards a helium-filled chassis to boost capacity and performance on their latest RED series.

However, a lot of the Western Digital RED’s performance stems from the fact that it is an exotic gas based model, which relies upon seven platters and fourteen read/write heads. While many, many consumers will find it to be a very good fit some many worry about what happens when the helium is slowly replaced by fresh air via a method called outgassing.
