8 2-bay nas devices review: first steps on the NAS market

If you're considering purchasing a new NAS, chances are you're first taking a look at the entry level models. To help you with your choice, we tested 8 models that shouldn't cost you more than 160 pounds.

You can use a NAS device for many purposes in your network. You can use it to share all of your photos, videos and music with your entire network. It can also be used for back-ups of systems or important files. Many NAS devices are also capable of downloading files from the internet independently, via peer-to-peer networks or newsgroups. Lastly you can also set up your NAS to be your personal cloud: set it up in such a way that you can access it from the outside and you'll even have access to your files abroad.

Aorus Thunder K7 Review

People in the UK may not be too familiar with the Aorus brand yet, but if you do a little digging you will discover that 'Aorus' is the gaming subsidiary from 'GIGABYTE', a more familiar name. Aorus have been in the international scene since 2014 and have released various gaming products that are now slowly penetrating into the UK market, so Aorus will be a brand to keep an eye out for.

The Aorus Thunder K7 has a rather unique design due to its modular, fully programmable numpad-come-macropad that can be attached to either side of the TKL keyboard, dubbed the '80% keyboard'. By swapping the numpad/macro pad to the left hand side, (right handed) gamers will benefit from having more space to move their mouse around. Should you not require a full keyboard or are gaming on-the-go, there is a separate USB cable that can attach to the 20% part (macropad) for stand alone use, making it an exceptional compact/transportable solution. The Thunder K7 ships with a wrist rest and sports the renowned CHERRY MX Red switches.

ASUS GTX950-2G Unplugged Review

The PSU (power supply unit) is often the device which acts as a hurdle for entry-level system upgrades or even an aging computer configuration, the overall wattage capacity dictates whether certain products can be installed. The graphics card is often the piece of hardware which many users will desire to upgrade but traditionally require extra wattage to permit usage. So when we heard that ASUS had designed a GTX 950 which ran directly from the motherboard PCI express lane as opposed to needing any power supplied from the PSU, we were especially intrigued.

In the spotlight today is the GTX950-2G – otherwise known as GTX 950 Unplugged. This graphics card seeks to liberate system builders who simply want to upgrade their graphics card but perhaps lack the extra juice from the PSU. As mentioned, this GTX 950 is able to operate from the PCI express lane and yet still delivers the same great 1080p performance as other GTX 950s – ASUS has also added in a dual-fan cooling solution which keeps noise and temperatures down.

Corsair M65 Pro RGB Gaming Mouse Review

Corsair has really made a name for themselves in the gaming market. You know that if you are buying a Corsair gaming product it is going to be of the highest quality and be loaded with features. One of the most popular FPS gaming mice for the past few years has been the Corsair Vengeance M65, which was later upgraded to the Corsair M65 RGB, and now it is been refined even further to the M65 Pro RGB, which we will be taking a look at today. Corsair keeps the ever popular design of the mouse, but adds a brand new 12000 DPI optical sensor that provides pixel-precise tracking and advanced surface calibration support. On top of that you have the awesome aircraft-grade aluminum frame, 3 different RGB lighting zones, advanced weight tuning system and more! Let’s jump in and see what the M65 Pro RGB is all about!

EVGA X99 FTW K Motherboard Review

There is a natural evolution to computer hardware. Sometimes the change is due to market conditions and component upgrades while others are based on user recommendations or "That crazy idea the in-house overclocker came up with". When it comes to motherboards I have seen just about everything and while most upgrades are just maintaince there are some that really change how a board can be used.

Almost two years ago Intel released the Haswell-E. A LGA 2011-v3 socket processor designed for the X99 chipset using DDR4 memory. Unlike the previous SandyBridge-E and IvyBridge-E processors that came before the Haswell-E was available in three variants using different core counts and either 40 or 28 lanes of PCI Express bandwidth. I bring this up because Broadwell-E is on the horizon and what better way to promote an upgraded motherboard than with a new processor.

In this review I’ll be looking at the EVGA X99 FTW K Edition motherboard. Like the Z170 Classified K this is a refreshed motherboard designed for more realistic mainstream builds that favor gaming over sheer looks and over-the-top system builds. While the previous X99 FTW is normally a mid-range motherboard the X99 FTW K has more in common with the X99 Classified than its predecessor.

How to Auto Hide the Taskbar in Windows 10 Tablet Mode

If you run Windows 10 on a touchscreen device, tablet mode can be a great feature. It shifts the interface in a way that makes it more suitable to wide fingers and the lack of precision that comes without a mouse. One thing missing from Windows 10s tablet mode is the ability to auto hide the taskbar as you would in the traditional Windows 10 UI. But thankfully, thats all changing with build 14328 or above.

The iPhone SE Review

Last month Apple announced a new iPad and a new iPhone. While the iPhone was new, it was also familiar in many ways because it was direct successor to Apples iPhone 5s which had been on the market for two and a half years. According to Apple, they sold thirty million 4-inch iPhones in 2015. Thirty million smartphone sales is a figure that many companies would be happy with for their flagship smartphone, but in Apples case its really interesting because that aging iPhone 5s was the only 4-inch iPhone they were selling. Being able to sell thirty million two-year-old smartphones is a pretty good indicator that theres a market for a smaller iPhone, and with the iPhone 5s approaching the end of its lifetime it was time to replace it. Read on for the full review of the iPhone SE to see what changes Apple has brought to the 4-inch form factor.
