Despite the emergence of ultra-fast and voluminous SSD devices, data processing centers still require classical storage solutions. Hence, HGST, an affiliate company of Western Digital, decided to comply with the corporate demands by introducing budgetary hard drives entitled Ultrastar C10K1800. The new-comers are targeting exactly DPC-systems which are in need of high performance combined with fail-safe behavior.



HGST Ultrastar C10K1800 drives feature 2.5-inch form-factor and come in diverse capacity variations (from 300 GB to 1.8 TB). The models employ SAS interface with 12 Gb/sec throughput. It should be noted that designers involved the minimal amount of plates on the maximal possible tape density. The latter are thought to rotate with 10.520 RPM.


The implementation of only few plates provides for the reduction of power consumption; this is supposed to be a great benefit since the drives are estimated for a durable 24/7 operation. Thus, an average power consumption …

The majority of customers place a priority on functionality of the monitor rather than its design. AOC Q2781PQ is a solution that combines both: state-of-the-art performance & an extraordinary design. The greenhorn is differentiated by an ultrathin frame, giving the impression of frameless construction. The display rests upon an asymmetric stand that provides for a better ergonomics, due to tilt, pivot & swivel adjustments.



The 27-inch AOC Q2781PQ monitor is based on AH-IPS panel which ensures 16:9 aspect ratio as well as 2560x1440 resolution (QHD) on 60 Hz refresh rate. The panel features 4 ms response time, the top brightness index of 350 cd/m2, the widest viewing angles (178 degrees in both aspects), and 100% coverage of RGB environment.


The model is known to support Flicker-Free technology that adjusts brightness level by means of backlight, securing flicker-free imaging on the screen. The monitor boasts 1000:1 static & 50M:1 dynamic contrast ratio. The amount of …

Following the Top Flow CR-701 cooler Jonsbo introduces another processor cooler, which is a massive product under the CR-401 code name.

 

The specialty is performed in the shape of a tower, main parts of which are protected by the metal casing. The cooler is equipped with five copper heat pipes (6 mm in diameter), having direct contact with the CPU cover.

 

The heatsink consists of two aluminium plates blocks, separated by the 120 mm fan. Its rotary velocity is regulated via the usage of the pulse width modulation (PWM) technique in the range of 800–1,600 rpm. In the meanwhile, the noise level varies from 18 to 25 dBA.

 

The novelty features the RGB-backlighting, supporting 256 colour shades, functioning in automatic mode. Dimensions are 125 × 88 × 165 mm, and weight is around 860 g.

 

The latest Jonsbo cooler is claimed to be compatible with the Intel LGA775, LGA115x, AMD AM2(+), AM3(+), AM4, FM1 and FM2(+) …
