Introduction

 

 At Gamescom 2017 Samsung Corporation presented a large and very wide curved gaming monitor QLED CHG90. The novelty has already been talked for some time because this is really the first model in the world with a 32:9 aspect ratio, support for AMD's FreeSync 2 HDR-ready technology and a whole bunch of various additional "buns" for a rather demanding gamer audience. How much expectations were met, it will become clear very soon on the feedback of consumers, but at first glance the device really deserves attention. In this review, we'll take a closer look at what is so interesting about this model and what additional opportunities it offers to avid gamers and ordinary users.

Both new-comers are marked by some outstanding efficiency facilities and completely new design. The M6 SSDs are developed in 2.5-inch design but are housed in ultrathin aluminum cases of 5 mm depth only. They are based on Marvell 88SS9187 controller and MLC NAND flash-memory of Toggle type (19 nm technological process).



The M6 drives feature high-speed SATA III 6 Gb/sec interface and support Plextor TrueSpeed technology. It should be noted that these SSDs are thought to support up to 1 GB RAM – DDR2-800 or DDR3-800 — used as cache.
