Introduction

The IronWolf Pro series consists of six models that range from 2TB to 12TB. The Pro series is much more powerful - Seagate warranties the mainstream IronWolf for 180TB of data writes per year, while the IronWolf Pro is rated for 300TB. This series has longer warranty free access to Seagate’s Rescue Data Recovery Service during two years. In case of any breakdown a user can send the drive to Seagate and the company will fix it or change for a new one.

 

The novelty we are talking today is IronWolf Pro 12TB – one of the best Seagate’s drives. In the comparison with its younger brother IronWolf Pro 10TB, the given model showed a slightly higher level of performance, two terabytes of additional capacity and a bit higher power consumption.

Engineers of the company managed to gather the efficiency, large volume and reliability of data storage in one place. A surcharge of about 80 dollars for two additional terabytes is not surprising for a …

Raijintek, a newly-established hardware developer, puts on sale three CPU coolers, targeted primarily at budget-oriented customers. Along with bright codenames, — Erebos, Themis and Aidos — the triple received a bright design: a silver-like heatsink block, a white fan and a raspberry-red fan frame. Each model is able to efficiently cope with the cooling down of all systems with medium loading.



The first model, Raijintek Erebos, consists of a voluminous perforated heatsink block with thirty-four plates. The plates are pierced by six heatpipes (6 mm each) and are accompanied by a 140 mm fan (Aeolus). To say more, this cooler is appropriate for a passive cooling process, due to a large heatsink with perfect heat dissipation facilities. The model comes to the market at the price of € 34,90.


The next model, Raijintek Themis, also features a voluminous heatsink section. In combination with four U-shape copper heatpipes, this heatsink is able to provide for an effective …

Qsan, primarily known for various data storage solutions, has recently introduced unifying data storage models intended for SMB. Codenamed TrioNAS LX U300, the new-comers feature modular design with optimal expansion facilities and a balanced settings kit. This provides for a unifying access to the file storage via Ethernet or Fibre Channel networks; the latter support data storage by means of NFS, AFP, FTP, WebDAV, CIFS protocols, as well as block storage via Fibre Channel and iSCSI.



The TrioNAS LX U300 items are based on Intel Haswell platform with Intel Xeon E3-1200 v3 processor. The system comes with an integrated Intel HD Graphics P4600 and Intel C226 chipset. Power supply is realized due to high-quality PSUs with 80Plus Platinum certificates; they ensure up to 90% efficiency on typical load, thanks to the employment of prime Japanese solid-state and electrolytic capacitors.


The basic storage versions come in two configurations: 3U form-factor for 16 drive bays and 4U …
