Asetek 645LT 92 mm AIO Review

Not long ago, Asetek had revealed that they were working on a new 92 mm AIO. Even more interesting is the fact that it was a joint collaboration with DAN Cases – the creator of the famous A4 SFX case (which we also reviewed and we are very fond of).

Named 645LT, it is the direct replacement for the 545LC and thus has been optimized for the Dan A4-SFX cases. It also promises better compatibility with small form factor cases due to the new 90 degrees output tubes on the radiator, longer pipes and an improved 6th gen silent pump. Also it bundles with the Noctua 92 mm slim fan and all the necessary accessories to make everything plug and play.

TerraMaster D2 Thunderbolt 3 2-Bay DAS Review

While NAS‘ have the advantage of being accessible from every network connected device, the DAS units have a speed advantage. Especially units with Thunderbolt 3 shine here. With 40Gbps bandwidth available, you can easily max out your drives for the best performance possible.

Design wise, TerraMaster sticks to what we know from them. A beautiful aluminium shell with carefully designed parts. This model does feature a thing we haven’t seen on the NAS units and that is the carrying handle. DAS is moved more and as such, it can be very convenient. I loved it during this review as it allowed me to grab and change settings on it quickly.
