SilverStone has replenished its inventory with a 4-bay NAS, entitled SST-TS433-TB. The new-comer is housed in a black aluminum case with an integrated zinc handle (124x166x248 mm dimensions). The storage allows to install high-capacity 3.5-/2.5-inch drives; each bay supports hot swapping functions and features a dedicated lock with LED activity indicator.



The heart of SilverStone SST-TS433-TB is Marvell 88SE9030 controller that is responsible for JBOD and RAID 0 operational modes. In the first case the drives function independently, whereas in RAID 0 mode they operate as a unified whole, evenly distributing information across the disc space.


The connection of NAS to the PC or other computing device is realized via a pair of Thunderbolt 2 ports which are characterized by the maximal bandwidth of 20 Gb/sec. These ports are known to support Daisy Chain function. Cooling of all internal components is entrusted to a single 90-mm fan.


The SST-TS433-TB is ready to …

Thermalright boasts the release of a new CPU cooler AXP-100. The new arrival is targeting small-sized PC systems, featuring 121x105.5x58 mm dimensions. Similar to other items that take responsibility for proper CPU cooling, this model is able to provide an efficient heat extraction from processor surface and its surrounding crucial components. It is compatible with the majority of AMD and Intel sockets to guarantee its universal utilization. Hence, it supports AMD FM1, FM2, AM2, AM2+, AM3, AM3+, and Intel LGA (2011, 1366, 1156, 1155, 775) platforms.



Thermalright decided not to apply the so popular nowadays 'direct contact' technology, implying the direct contact of CPU cover with heat pipes. Instead, the cooler's framework has been given a bit different approach.


Model AXP-100 consists of a copper, nickel-plated base, six copper heat pipes, a set of aluminum ribs located parallel to the motherboard, and an atypical in its nature fan TY-100. The heatpipes spring from the …

The Samsung Electronics company has announced the beginning of high-volume DDR4 (Double-Data-Rate-4) DRAM memory chips output. These microchips are aimed at a wide range of next generation computing systems. They are the most productive and energy-efficient DRAM chips of the 8 Gb capacity.

 

It’s stated that the second gen (1y-nm) 10 nm technology is applied. While comparing it with the first generation methodology, one should note enhancement of key indicators. Thus, the running speed has increased by about 10 %, rate of information transfer is raised from 3,200 to 3,600 Mb/s. At the same time energy efficiency has grown by 15 %. Key specs improvement is achieved due to innovative technologies implementation (proprietary circuitry, for example).

 

It’s believed that such results will help Samsung accelerate the next generation (DDR5, HBM3, LPDDR5 and GDDR6 devices) memory chipsets market launch. The implementation area of these solutions …
