VColor Manta ROG XSky RGB 7000 CL36 memory is the kit we will present today. It’s not the first one from that Taiwanese company on guru3d. Over a year ago, the V-Color Manta Xprism 6200 CL36 (2x16GB) was reviewed (and it earned the “Recommended” award). This time it’s the ROG-Certified series, which allows higher frequency on the Asus Maximus motherboards than on the others. The sample we’re checking is not the best of the series (but it’s close), as even the 7200 MHz CL36 is available.


Crucial Pro 32GB DDR5 - 5600 MHz CL46 review

We look at a Crucial 32GB 5600 MHz CL46 DDR5 memory kit with Micron origins. This set is based on their newly released PRO serres. Being Crucial, though, implies that it's a bargain package that provides 95% of the performance you require for 99 EUR for 32GB. We'll do tests using Raptor-Lake CPUs from Intel's Gen 13th generation.

Neo Forza Trinity 6400 CL40 32 GB kit is the second kit (after the Neo Forza Trinity JetBlack 6000 CL40 2x 32GB) from the Taiwanese company (which was founded in 2018) that we had a chance to look at. It is a brand of Goldkey (which has existed since 1998) that focuses on enthusiast-grade products. You can find the SATA, M.2 PCIe drives, DDR4, and DDR5 in the offer. As for the last item from the list, Neo Forza offers four series: Trinity, which we’re reviewing (with the RGB and the frequencies up to 7800 MHz); Trinity JetBlack (w/o RGB and up to 7800 MHz); MDK5 (w/o RGB and the frequencies up to 6800 MHz); PnP (4800-5200 MHz, JEDEC compliant, and 1.1 V). We got a sample of the Trinity (so with the RGB lighting) kit that consists of two 16 GB modules with a frequency of 6400 MHz and latency of CL40.

As for the last item from the list, Neo Forza offers four series: Trinity (with the RGB and the frequencies up to 7800 MHz), JetBlack – which we’re reviewing (w/o RGB and up to 7800 MHz), MDK5 (w/o RGB and the frequencies up to 6800 MHz), PnP (4800-5200 MHz, JEDEC compliant, and 1.1 V). We got a sample of the Trinity JetBlack (so without the RGB lighting) kit that consists of two 32 GB modules with a frequency of 6000 MHz and latency of CL40. 64 GB of RAM sounds like a lot; it will probably be overkill for many “average-Joe” users.

MSI ventured into the NVMe SSD storage market approximately a year ago by launching the MSI Spatium M.2 NVMe SSD series. This review will specifically analyze the M480 PRO model, which utilizes the speedy PS5018-E18 controller. Known for its impressive durability and exceptional performance, surpassing 7 GB/sec on the PCIe 4.0 interface.

We have two samples of the fastest SSD on the globe, which meet the Crucial T700 PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD. Both units are 2TB, one with a heatsink and the other should be placed underneath a motherboard heatsink. This series offers performance metrics running upwards to 12 GB/sec for sustained reads/writes based on a Phison E26 controller and all-new Micron's 3D TLC NAND based on 232-layers


Geil Polaris RGB DDR5 8000 CL38 2x16 GB review

Geil (Golden Emperor International Limited) is headquartered in Taipei, Taiwan. It was founded in 1993 and will have its 30th anniversary this year. At the end of last year, we had an opportunity to check their Evo V DDR5 memory kit, consisting of two 16 GB modules with a frequency of 6200 MHz and CL34 latency. What are the main differences vs. Evo V? Mainly, the design of a radiator and the lack of two fans used for active cooling of the modules. This time, we will review Geil’s second series, Polaris RGB (there’s also a “regular” Polaris without the lighting), with an astonishing frequency of 8000 MHz.

The Sabrent Rocket NANOv2 NVMe USB SSD is a small form-factor solid-state drive (SSD) that uses the Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) protocol for fast data transfer rates. It connects to a computer through a USB interface and provides a storage solution that is much faster than traditional hard disk and 2.5" SSD drives. The NANOv2 is designed to be compact and portable, making it an ideal solution for those who need to transfer large files quickly or carry their data with them on the go. It has a capacity of up to 2TB, and its small size makes it easy to carry in a pocket or a bag, whilst offering performance up-to 1600MBps.

VULCANα is a more budget-friendly series from Teamgroup than the Delta RGB, which we checked in 6000 CL40 and 7200 CL34 variants. They are mainly known for memory but also have SSDs, memory cards, USB drives, mobile accessories, and peripherals. The provided sample is from a VULCANα series. It's the mid-tier in the TeamGroup TForce offer, as it offers frequencies up to 6000 MHz.

G.Skill, a Taipei-based company, is a household name in the tech industry. They have established a reputation for producing high-quality DDR memory, but they also offer a diverse range of products including AIOs such as the Enki 360, stylish chassis like the Z5i, sleek keyboards like the KM360, and various other peripherals. However, their crown jewel is the DDR5 RAM, of which the Trident Z5 RGB series is a prime example. With frequencies reaching up to 8000 MHz, this series stands as the top tier in G.Skill's offerings.

Their product line mainly consists of SSDs, RAM, SD cards, USB flash, and external drives. The company is well known in China, but not so much in Europe/USA. It’s the first product of this company covered on guru3d.

Positioned as a PCIe Gen 4.0 SSD value SSD this is the S90 Lite. Addlink claims sequential read and write rates of up to 4500MB/sec utilizing the Phison E21 controller and PCIe Gen 4 x4 interface. Per customary, performance varies depending on the capacity selected and whether the host computer supports PCIe 4.0.

Today we're presenting a review of an HP FX900 Pro M.2 SSD. It's not the first product of this company covered on guru3d. Last time it was the FX900 model, with a 1 TB capacity, it earned the "recommended" award. How will the bigger/faster brother cope with our test suite? These products are sold under the brand  "HP". Under official license, these branded storage products are designed, manufactured, and marketed by BIWIN Storage Technology company. FX900 Pro comes in capacities of 512GB, 1TB, 2TB (which we got for the review), and even 4 TB. The target audience are not only gamers but those who want excellent multitasking performance.


Zadak TWSG4S 2 TB NVMe Review

ZADAK is not a new competitor in the market of SSDs. They already provided SATA and NVMe PCIe Gen3x4 drives, like TWSG3, ZDKG3, or Spark. This time, it’s a TWSG4S model, which supports PCIe Gen4x4. It comes in 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB capacities. We’ve received the biggest TB variant. It’s aimed at gamers, according to ZADAK, and it would be fair to place this in an area of high-end levels. There’s also a clear indication on the website that it’s compatible with the Sony Playstation 5.


Geil EvoV DDR5 6200 CL34 2x16 GB review

Memory (DDR4/DDR5) and Storage (SSD/NVMe) 369 Published by Krzysztof Hukalowicz 0

In May, Geil presented a new series of DDR5 memories: the EvoV. The available kits have a frequency ranging from the base 4800 MHz up to 6800 MHz (and up to 6400 MHz for the AMD platform). We are checking the Geil EvoV RGB 6200 MHz CL34 DDR5 kit today with the AMD EXPO profile. The main thing that makes the Evo V stand out is the built-in fans (in the radiator). They’re rotating at about 12000 rpm, +/- 20% (but please remember they are small, with a 2 cm diameter, so the revs shouldn’t be so scary).
