Cooler Master MasterBox Q500L Compact ATX Case Review

Cooler Master has offered many different takes on PC enclosures since they started producing them in the 1990s, and the new MasterBox Q500L is among the more interesting of their recent designs. What makes this compact case special? It is the rare breed of enclosure that holds a full ATX motherboard within a micro-ATX form-factor.

Crucial 2x8GB DDR4-2666 SODIMM Memory Kit Review

By replacing the single-channel 16GB stock DDR4 2400MHz solution with a dual-channel DDR4 2666MHz kit, our DELL Inspiron 7577 became snappier in usual Windows applications and some productivity benchmarks have seen increases as well!

Deepcool Matrexx 70 Review

Sleek, stylish and affordable, too. Deepcool may have started dabbling in the premium end of the PC component market, but what we love most about the Chinese manufacturer is its ability to offer mid-range products at bargain prices; the £29 Lucifer CPU cooler from 2014 instantly springs to mind.

Fast forward to today and the firm still has a growing catalogue of budget-friendly solutions, including Matrexx Series chassis that have a nifty habit of aligning product names with the MSRP. Last year's Matrexx 55 offered most of the essentials for £55, and the 2019 Matrexx 70 promises a little more finesse for, you guessed it, £70.

Seagate New Backup Plus Slim and Backup Plus Portable Review

Seagate in January announced an updated lineup of its popular Backup Plus hard drives, debuting the Backup Plus Slim and the Backup Plus Portable, both of which are now available for purchase and are ideal for those who need lots of storage space at an affordable price.

The Backup Plus Slim and the Backup Plus Portable are your average, run of the mill hard drives. The Backup Plus Slim is the thinner of the two models as it has less storage space, measuring in at 4.5 inches by 3 inches with a thickness of just about half an inch.

Team Group's MP34 M.2 NVMe SSD comes at exceptional pricing of only $80 for the tested 512 GB version, that's less than 16 cents per GB. This puts it really close to SATA drives and QLC M.2 SSDs, with better performance at the same time.

WD Blue SN500 250GB Review

Back in January WD introduced their new WD Black SN750 SSD and I took a look at it. Its performance was extremely impressive but as I pointed out in our Crucial P1 and XPG SX6000 reviews, not everyone is looking to get the biggest and best SSD. Up until now the people looking for a cheaper drive have basically had to settle for SATA based drives. Recently though a few NVMe drives have been finally getting down into those SATA M.2 drive prices and WD has joined in as well with their new WD Blue SN500. It might not be as exciting when it comes to raw performance like the WD Black, but I am curious to see how it performs with its $54.99 price point right now for the 250GB model. So today I’m going to see what the new drive is all about, check out its performance, then see how it compares to the other cheaper NVMe drives on the market.
