eTeknix: Elgato Wave:1 Microphone Review

Corsair snapped up Elgato a few years ago, and ever since, its been easy to see why they wanted them as part of the Corsair family. Elgato has an exceptional array of products tailored towards the gamer, streamer and content creation market. Their Keylights, Streamdeck, capture cards and much more are already big hits.

Think Computers: Elgato Wave:3 Microphone Review

With the release of the Wave:3 microphone, Elgato further solidifies their position in the content creation realm. Now Elgato didn't just design this microphone on their own, though we believe they would be fully capable of this feat. Instead, they worked with established audio gear company LEWITT to help bring their first microphone to life.

TechPowerUp: ADATA Swordfish 1 TB M.2 NVMe SSD Review - No Excuse to not NVMe

At just $115 for the 1 TB version, it'll be hard to find a more affordable M.2 NVMe drive than the ADATA Swordfish. Despite the low price, performance is still very decent; there's now very little reason to buy a SATA drive instead of an NVMe SSD.

LanOC Reviews: Crucial P2 500GB

Crucial’s P1 has been a go-to for anyone looking to build a budget build that still wants the significantly faster speeds than an NVMe drive can offer. I took a look at the P1 back in 2018 HERE and still love the drive. So when Crucial announced their new P2 I was excited to find out what they were doing differently this time around. Well, today I’m going to take a closer look and find out what the P2 is all about then put it through our test suite to see how it performs. Is it still the go-to for budget builds? Let’s find out!
