6 TB NAS Drives: WD Red, Seagate Enterprise Capacity and HGST Ultrastar He6 Face-Off

Western Digital launched the first NAS-specific 6 TB drive today. In expanding their Red portfolio, they have brought 6 TB drives suitable for 24x7 operation into the hands of home consumers. Some enterprise-specific 6 TB drives have been around since late last year. Today's introduction provides us an opportunity to see how the WD Red compares against those offerings. Read on for our evaluation of the currently available 6 TB drives suitable for NAS units.

Aerocool Dead Silence reviewed

Aerocool is well known for its gamer cases with aggressive styling. However, the Dead Silence chassis offers consumers a new choice, an elegant, cube form for the home or office.

The Dead Silence enclosure measures 411mm x 265mm x 381mm (H x W x L) and it can accommodate micro ATX and mini ITX motherboards. As far as other components go, there is room for practically anything you can imagine, including a 240mm water cooling system, oversized CPU coolers and the longest graphics cards on the market. Not bad for a compact design.

Enermax Liqtech 120X AiO Liquid CPU Cooler Review

If it seems to you that every company in the market has an all in one liquid cooling offering you’re not alone. But this isn’t a bad thing. It just means there is more competition and competition drives innovation. Today we’ll be taking a look at one result of this competition, the slightly more evolved offering of AIO cooling from Enermax, the Liqtech 120X. At the top of their liquid cooling offerings the 120X is everything they can throw a hot CPU. Follow along as we take a closer look at this refined AIO and see how it compares to others.

Examining AMDs Driver Progress Since Launch Drivers: R9 290X & HD 7970

AMD and Nvidia both talk fairly big when it comes to driver updates. With every driver iteration that is released we hear the usual technical (or should that be marketing?) talk about improved performance in this, that and the other. After a lot of thinking I decided I wanted to investigate further. Wouldn’t it be interesting to see how much progress AMD and Nvidia actually make with their drivers over the duration of a product’s life cycle? We’ll be starting this two piece series with AMD and in particular I want to look at the last two flagship single GPUs of each generation. I’ll be putting the XFX AMD HD 7970 Double Dissipation 3GB graphics card on the test bench along with the XFX AMD R9 290X Double Dissipation 4GB graphics card: that’s the flagship single GPUs of the HD 7000 and R9 2xx series. I will be benchmarking both graphics cards on an identical test system at stock clocks under two different scenarios. Scenario 1 is using the AMD driver package that they launched with and scenario 2 is using the most recent AMD driver package made available. In this way we are able to see the driver progress that AMD’s HD 7970 and R9 290X have made since they were both launched.

Fractal Design Core 3500 Computer Case Review

Whether it’s in the automotive, clothing, or furniture industry, European companies have always brought innovative ideas that make big part of the most elegant and simple designs. One clear example is Fractal Design, a Scandinavian company that has showed Benchmark Reviews what stylish and efficient designs look like. This year Fractal Design is updating many of their product lines, including their Core series, to which we reacted in a very excited manner as we could never get tired of their simple minimalist approach. Today we are going to be taking a look at the Fractal Design Core 3500 Mid Tower Case.

OCZ RevoDrive 350 Review

SSDs are fast but are limited by SATA bottlenecks. OCZ's Revodrive 350 breaks these barriers by utilising PCIe. This isn't the first time OCZ or indeed other manufacturers have made use of the PCIe ports which are traditionally reserved for bandwidth hungry graphics cards. The OCZ RevoDrive 3 x2 also used this technological advantage however, it was crippled by cost restrictions (circa £450). The new RevoDrive 350 sees a drop in price by £100 for the 240GB model to around the £370 mark. True enough, this is still considerably more expensive than an SSD but when you also factor in the speed difference (which we will discuss later) the OCZ RevoDrive 350 begins to make sense for those requiring the ultimate in performance. Nobody said the best was ever going to be cheap!

Phanteks Enthoo Luxe Case Review

The new Enthoo Luxe tower case fills a gaping chasm in the Phanteks range between the £199.99 Primo and the £89.99 Pro (£79.99 without window). Priced at £129.99, the Luxe delivers a set of features that are similar to the Pro, however there are a couple of significant changes to the specification as the Luxe includes a lighting system and also has an extra fan. In addition the cosmetics have been given a significant overhaul and while there are obvious similarities the Luxe looks quite different to the Pro.

Rosewill Capstone Modular 1000 W

Rosewill built up a solid reputation over the last few years, especially for PSUs, where things are tough because of the strong competition. In this review, we will evaluate the Capstone series' flagship model. It features 1 kW capacity, a semi-modular design, and a nice price tag. Our expectations are high because the unit is based on a Super Flower platform.

Samsung 850 Pro 256GB/512GB/1TB review: back at the top

Samsung recently introduced their 850 Pro SSDs, which are the first consumer-oriented SSDs based on 3D V-NAND, or stacked flash memory. And for those of you who don't really care about this innovation in the domain of flash memory, we also have good news, seeing as how both the performance and the endurance of these SSDs has increased significantly. Do they allow Samsung to reclaim the performance crown?

Due to a combination of competitive pricing and good performance, Samsung has over the course of the last few years managed to claim over half of the market for individually sold SSDs in the Benelux. The 840 series was and still is a success: the 840 Pro was without a doubt the fastest SSD when it was released, whereas the 840 Evo was priced extremely competitively due to the use of TLC memory. Because of this, Samsung had the ideal product both for consumers who desire the best performance, and consumers who feel that an SSD's price tag is its most important attribute.

While the 840 Pro did lose its performance crown over the course of the last few months, these SSDs still offer top tier performance despite having been introduced in December 2012, which is more than one and a half years ago. At the same time, SSDs such as the OCZ Vector 150 manage to outperform the 840 Pro in many benchmarks, although they admittedly don't sell quite as well.

SilverStone Raven RV05 Review

Stack-effect cooling returns in a fifth-generation Raven. SilverStone is back with another Raven. The fifth-generation chassis, dubbed the Raven RV05, follows in the footsteps of its predecessors by utilising a 90-degree rotated design that promises top-level performance for your high-end components.

We've seen the 90-degree formula work well for SilverStone in the past, but it hasn't always been smooth sailing for Raven Series enclosures. The RV01 and RV02 performed admirably and attracted attention as a result of their unusual orientation, but both cases were gigantic in size, with the second-gen model appearing awkwardly stretched in length. Then came the RV03, whose bulk and plastic facade didn't go down well with most users, and the RV04 didn't quite manage to capture the imagination, either.

Hoping to return to winning ways, SilverStone is trimming down and getting back to basics with the RV05.

Toshiba HG6 SSD Review (512GB)

Earlier this year Toshiba announced their new generation of SSDs, the HG6. It might not have the snappiest name but if it performs as well against the competition as their previous drives we should be in for an impressive set of figures.
