Western Digital started the winning of HDD market almost ten years ago. Since that time the company has managed to dramatically improve its manufacturing process and achieve the desirable heights. Its latest HDD solution, codenamed VelociRaptor WD1000DHTZ, deserves special attention thanks to its performance showings and low operational temperatures.



General Peculiarities


Flagship HDD VelociRaptor WD1000DHTZ goes in 1TB volume capacity and is destined for the employment primarily in workstations. It combines high performance along with reliability to become an efficient solution for professional office needs, compact servers, high-end workstations, rendering processes, and for the management of graphics content of high resolution. Upon the whole, this model stands somewhere between the entry level SSDs and winchesters of 3.5 inch form-factor.


Additionally, Western Digital delivers modifications of VelociRaptor which go in more modest capacities (250 GB and 500 GB). …

Motherboards manufacturers actively add to the number of PCIe slots on their models for users to be able to save money and space while building powerful mining farms. However, the more graphics cards you utilize, the more requirements to the power unit arise. That’s why the FSP Group company released the FSP2000-A0AGPBI power source of the 2,000 W capacity for miners.

 

The device is presented as a commercial-scale solution, designed to operate 24/7 at the wide range of voltage (90–264 V). Besides, it has successfully passed the tests for operation under the conditions of increased humidity and temperature, so it can ensure sustained performance even in a complex environment.

 

FSP2000-A0AGPBI is distinguished due to its high efficiency (over 90%), confirmed by the 80 PLUS Platinum certificate. It features six +12V line (up to 30 A of output capability for each of them), a fully modular cabling, alongside with 16 PCIe (6+2-pin) connectors for a …

Spire Corporation put itself on record with a new gaming PC chassis, codenamed X2.6019. The new-comer is developed in mid-tower form-factor, featuring 520x215x508 mm dimensions, and is made of 0.6 mm cold-rolled galvanized steel (SECC). Despite medium dimensions, it might easily accommodate motherboards of miniITX, microATX and ATX standard. According to Spire, this model belongs to MOD solutions, since it ensures an easy access to the hardware components during modification or update of the system.



Spire X2.6019 houses four external bays for 5.25-inch drives, six internal bays for 3.5-inch drives, as well as seven slots for PCI expansion cards. Its internal layout is divided by linear plates into three sections; such framework promotes for a better heat removal. It should be mentioned that this chassis is able to lodge nearly any CPU cooler and any high-end graphics card. Moreover, drive mounting can be realized without any dedicated tools.
