It may be incredibly small, but Micron’s new 2400 SSD is still capable of packing up to 2TB of storage and PCIe 4.0, the company said Tuesday.
Micron said the teeny-tiny SSD (the smallest one above) measures 22mm x 30mm but is still capable of hitting 2TB of capacity and decent performance thanks to the company’s new 176-layer QLC NAND. Micron calls its 176-layer ultra dense NAND an “unprecedented” development for PC storage for not only decreasing the physical space
Proving that whenever you buy something new, a better thing immediately comes out, the PCI-Sig Group announced the release of PCIe 6.0 on Tuesday, which will double the raw data rates of the PCIe 5.0 technology that only just debuted in Intel’s 12th-gen ‘Alder Lake’ Core processors.
PCI-SIG, the group that oversees the specification, said PCIe 6.0 will support 64 Giga Transfers per second, which equals about 256GB/s over a 16 lane configuration. To reach that blistering sp
Sure, sheer power makes a big difference in your PC’s performance, but efficient cooling plays a huge part too. Yes, better cooling is the answer to better desktop gaming, and HP’s unique new take on traditional closed-loop cooling caught our eye at CES 2022.
HP’s clever idea might not wow you like CyberPower PC’s wild “breathing” PC case, but this truly ingenious design could prove much more practical. HP has already patented what its calls a Cryro Chamb

“What’s the difference between memory and storage?” It’s a computer question everybody asks at least once in their life. And if you’re the “computer person” in your family, maybe you’ve answered it a whole lot more. But with most standard computer storage shifting to ultra-fast SSDs so similar to flash memory that it’s kind of hard to tell them apart at a glance, the question is becoming a lot more relevant. Physicists from Lancaster Univer
The regular NFL season is over, and thoughts are turning away from an insane year of fantasy football towards the ultimate holiday: The Super Bowl. If you’re hoping to upgrade your living room set before the big day on February 13, we’ve found a deal for you. Amazon is selling a Hisense 55-inch quantum dot 4K HDR Smart TV for $500. That’s $150 the usual price.

Nvidia only just revealed the GeForce RTX 3050 and RTX 3090 Ti during its CES 2022 keynote last week, but that wasn’t all the company had up its sleeve. On Tuesday morning, Nvidia quietly and surprisingly launched a new 12GB version of GeForce RTX 3080 that fixes our biggest (albeit minor) gripe with an otherwise stellar graphics card.

You likely already know how important it is to maintain your security online. But if you are protecting your web accounts by using the same password you had five years ago, then you are just asking for trouble. Sure, selecting passwords that are more complex than ‘123456’ can be a daunting task, but that’s why password managers — such as Enpass — have grown so popular.
