Synology Router Manager (SRM) 1.3 Software Review I think it would be fair to say that Synology is not a company primarily known for its routers, but more for their range of network-attached storage solutions. Nevertheless, with the release of the brand’s fourth Router (technically their 3rd generation) solution, they still manage to garner a […]

Synology RT6600ax Router Review – Premium Networking? Reviewing the new RT6600ax router was always going to be quite a tall order.

Synology DS Router 2.0 Mobile App Review Synology, as a brand, has always been remarkably keen to highlight its software more than its hardware. That isn’t to say that the brand does not have some great hardware in its portfolio, but they would rather be known as a ‘solution’ provider, as opposed to a ‘hardware’ […]

Review of the Synology 2022 Event – Everything Synology Revealed It’s that time again, almost as regular as clockwork, with the return of the annual Synology event.

Review of the T-Force Cardea A440 PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD Of all the SSD brands that I have been reviewing in the last 12 months or so, very few have had the meteoric impact of TeamGroup (and their T-Force series of SSDs). That isn’t to say that the brand has not been around for […]
Samsung 980 Pro SSD Heatsink Edition Review, Temperature & Benchmark Although now in 2022, we have quite a lot of 7,000MB/s and above performing SSDs in the market to choose from, it was not always this way!

Review of the Nextorage NEM-PA PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD Why should you care about the Nextorage NEM-PA SSD? It is a reasonable question at the start of 2022, as it is fair to say that there are now quite a lot of SSDs available in the market that promise upwards and over 7,000MB/s. The […]
Reviewing the Eagle PS5 Designed Heatsink for SSD Upgrades Technology moves fast! What was once considered fantastically unique and ‘one-off’ can all too soon become remarkably mainstream. Which is how we find the Eagle PS5 SSD Heatsink and its appearance on the console market. When Sony enabled SSD upgrades on the Playstation 5, the need […]
Asustor Drivestor 2 Review – Low-Cost Cloud Alternative?

PS5 SSD Expansion Testing with the Titanium Micro TH7175 SSD Although not really a brand that is heard of much in the gaming arena, Titanium Micro have a full range of SSD solutions that are all too familiar to enterprise SSD hardware clients. However, their recent TH7175 SSD has the potential to be a great […]
Review of the Addlink A90 PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD The Addlink A90 is an unusual SSD, to say the least, with its promise of PCIe performance at a price tag approaching that of PCIe3. In the short period of time that Sony has enabled the PS5 m.2 NVMe SSD Expansion bay, around 30-35 mainline […]
Is the Synology DS920+ NAS Still Worth Buying in 2021? First released back in Summer 2020, the Synology DS920+ was the latest generation release for their prosumer 4-Bay NAS series (following the DS918+ and DS916+ before) and quickly gained considerable acclaim.
