Windows Central: This is the best X570 ASUS motherboard for value and performance
There are many motherboards out there that can be used with the latest AMD Ryzen 5000 series processors, so long as they have an A520, B550, or X570 chipset. ASUS ROG STRIX X570-E Gaming is a compelling foundation for a PC build, rocking a solid UEFI BIOS, impressive power delivery for stable overclocking, and plenty of PCIe 4.0 for speedy M.2 storage.

TechPowerUp: Acer FA100 1 TB Review
The Acer FA100 solid-state drive is an entry-level M.2 NVMe SSD. In our extensive testing, we saw decent performance that matches competing SSDs. The SLC cache is also big enough to soak up the largest write bursts, and there's no thermal throttling.

Anandtech: The ADATA GAMMIX S50 Lite 2TB SSD Review: Mainstream PCIe Gen4
Today were taking a look at ADATAs XPG Gammix S50 Lite, a mid-range consumer NVMe SSD based on Silicon Motions new SM2267 controller. Among other notable features, the Gammix S50 Lite is the first mainstream-focused SSD that supports PCIe 4.0 – though as well see in our benchmarks that support is largely incidental, as the drives performance is mostly the same as high-end Gen3 SSDs.

LanOC Reviews: Project Data Hoarder – FreeNAS Build Part 2
Late last fall I set out to finally make a few big upgrades to our network and storage which was long overdue. In fact, around that time and over the winter I have had one NAS die and I’ve had 4 different hard drives and one SSD die. So saying it was overdue is an understatement and frankly dealing with each of those drives has been a big reminder that no matter how safe you might think you are being with your data that you most likely should be doing more if you don’t want to lose it. Anyhow our FreeNAS build saw a big delay while waiting on the final parts. There are shortages all over the place, not just on the CPU and GPU side of things but today I can finally get back to work on the build. Today I want to go over all of the storage components. These are the most important part of a NAS and depending on how many drives you have planned they are most likely also going to be the most expensive part as well. So let’s check out what I went with for data storage and the OS drive.
