When OCZ released the Agility series SSDs they introduced an SSD that packs massive performance yet was slightly slower than the Vertex series, but at a better price. Since pricing is everything in this segment, others are now looking into that option as well. Because as a company, you want and need to cover all your bases.
Today we test a product from G.Skill, who's applying the same methodology. The newly released SSD is called the Falcon II which is a follow up of the original Falcon Solid State Disk series. But make no mistake, it still comes with Indilinx controller, 64MB cache memory and packs a read speed of 220 MB/sec and a write speed of 150MB sec -- which makes the word 'slower' a bit of a paradox.
Here at Guru3D.com we just love that. The Falcon II series will come in 64GB, 128GB and 256GB flavors and are equipped with the latest 34nm MLC NAND flash memory. 34nm, that means this SSD is equipped with the same NAND flash memory Intel uses in their X25-M SSD's.
The SSD comes with firmware revision 1819 which has full support for the TRIM-command in Windows 7, making the investment even more interesting. And by using that 34nm Micron NAND memory, G.Skill should be able to lower the price on their Falcon product series a little too.
Well let's find out, have a peek at the photo and then let's dive into the review.
G.Skill TridentZ Royal Elite DDR4 3600 MHz CL14 review
Today, we are checking the G.Skill TridentZ Royal Elite 3600 MHz CL14. This is another addition to the TridentZ family. Previously (at the end of 2018), we’ve reviewed the Royal 3200 MHz 2 x 8 GB edition, then after almost two years -> Royal 4000 CL17 4 x 8 GB version. The Royal Elite has been introduced in mid-April this year, and the CL14 variants at the beginning of June.
G.Skill Enki 360 LCS liquid cooler review
Today, we are reviewing an AIO cooler from G.Skill: the Enki 360. It’s a debut for this brand in that sector, just like with Lian Li in July ’20. As for the name, Enki is the ancient Sumerian god of water, so that’s not a bad idea for this kind of product. We’ve received a 360 mm variant of this LCS, but there’s also a 240 mm and a 280 mm version, in case your chassis can’t fit the largest one (no pun intended), or if you’re on a tighter budget.
G.Skill TridentZ Royal DDR4 4000 MHz CL17 (4x 8GB) review
Today, we are looking at G.Skill TridentZ Royal 4000 MHz CL17 memory in a 32 GB set consisting of four 8 GB modules. At the end of 2018, we had an opportunity to check a lower-clocked kit from that series (3200 MHz), but the capacity was 2 x 8 GB back then.
G.Skill TridentZ NEO DDR4 3600 MHz (2x32GB) review
We review what I find to be one of the better looking and properly fast DDR4 memory kits ever. G.Skill TridentZ NEO DDR4, now nicely dense up at 32GB per DIMM module. This TridentZ NEO 64GB (x2 32G...
