Western Digital announces a new high-capacity 3.5-inch HDD for data centers. The WD Re+ will be available in versions of up to 6 TB. All of them are designed with power-saving ideas in mind; hence, their maximal power consumption index does not go above 6 W. The new-comer employs five-platter architecture and SATA 6 Gb/sec interface that guarantees the maximal efficiency level. Moreover, its MTBF index approximates 1.2 million hours on average workload index of 550 TB per year.



The WD Re+ is distinguished by the following advantages:

— the incorporation of dual actuator positioning system that improves the drive’s working efficiency;

— the implementation of RAFF technology that monitors HDD parameters in real time and compensates for the linear and angular vibration;

— the employment of StableTrac technology that reduces vibrations and stabilizes drive platters;

— the usage of TLER technology that prevents latencies or an abrupt destruction of RAID … …

Zotac always keeps a wary eye on the PC hardware progress. This time the company was one of the first manufacturers to integrate the latest Intel Core 8th Gen mobile processors (Intel Kaby Lake-R) into its line of mini-PCs. This is in reference to Zotac Mi640 nano and Zotac Mi660 nano models, codenamed ZBOX-MI640NANO & ZBOX-MI660NANO respectively.

 

Zotac Mi640 item is based on a 4-core Intel Core i5-8250U CPU, running at 1.6-3.4 GHz frequency. Meanwhile, the second item, Zotac Mi660, comes equipped with a more efficient CPU: Intel Core i7-8550U, operating at 1.8-4.0 GHz frequency. Both new-comers support CPUs with a customizable TDP level (10-25 W), though coming with a standard 15 W marker.

 

Mini-PCs employ iGPU Intel UHD Graphics 620 graphics core, a couple of SO-DIMM slots for up to 32 GB DDR4-2400 MHz modules. Storage subsystem includes a single 2.5-inch SATA HDD/SSD slot; additionally, there is a multimedia card-reader slot (SD/SDXC/SDHC). Network …
