Corsair Vengeance 5180 Gaming PC (RTX 2080) Review

Corsair looks to enter the boutique PC world with their Vengeance 5180 Gaming PC. It comes decked out with multiple tempered glass panels and more RGB LEDs than you can count. Add in some power-packing specifications, like a GeForce RTX 2080, and not only will it blind you with bling, but it will do so while delivering exceptional performance.

Darksiders III Review

Sometimes, no matter what information youre given even if youre able to have a taster perceptions can be incorrect. No game better exemplifies this to me than Darksiders III. It was only just under two months ago that I previewed Darksiders III and my impressions were certainly on the positive side of things.

HiKam A7 HD WiFi Waterproof IP Camera Review

The A7 is a great little camera that is affordable and easy to set up. I spent a fair amount of time using the A7 and I didn't really find any weak points. The 72 hours of free rolling cloud storage make it easy to see any motion events. The night vision is not bad and has a decent range. Probably the only thing I would ask for from HiKam is maybe a higher resolution option.

MyDigitalSSD BPX Pro SSD Benchmarked With Firmware v12.1

MyDigitalSDSD is the first company to release firmware version 12.1 for drives powered by the Phison E12 controller. We've been waiting months for this firmware to be released as it promised to deliver massive performance gains. After testing the MyDigitalSSD BPX Pro 960GB drive with this new firmware build versus the original firmware version 11.0 that it shipped with, we can say that it was worth the wait.

StorCentric Drobo 8D DAS Review

It has been 9 years since I reviewed the DroboPro. For its time, that product was a beast of a device, with the closest to a set it and forget it RAID implementation I had ever seen. It was also robust enough to shrug off any combination of power loss and pulling (failing) disks that I could throw at it. The ease of use/durability combination was a good formula for Drobo that has now lasted over a decade. The main hurdles over the years have been more on the performance side of things. The original DroboPro was indeed quicker than previous Drobos and other competing models, but competition quickly surpassed them in performance. Later Drobo models brought decent performance and capabilities for competitive prices (like the Drobo 5C), but we havent had a worthy successor to the original DroboPro. They came close in the form of the B810 series, but those were still limited by Gigabit links.

Tesoro Gram Spectrum TKL Keyboard Review

Just about two years ago Tesoro released their Gram Spectrum keyboard. This full-size keyboard offered a more low-profile design, but still gave you the quality of mechanical key switches. Since the success of that keyboard Tesoro is now offering a TKL or tenkeyless version of the iconic keyboard. This keyboard is 80% the size of the full keyboard, has the same low-profile keycaps as well as mechanical key switches. For all of those who are fans of tenkeyless keyboards this could be the perfect thing for you. Read on to see what we thought about it.
