Anandtech: ASRock Industrial 4X4 BOX-V1000M Ryzen Mini-PC Review: Finding Zen In The Small Things

The miniaturization trend triggered by the ultra-compact form factor NUCs from Intel has emerged as a key driver in the growth of the PC market. Processor power efficiency is of paramount importance in this space, and AMD had been caught napping when the NUCs began to take flight. The introduction of the Zen microarchitecture in the Ryzen processors has scripted a remarkable turnaround for AMD. With leading core counts, the Ryzen processors have taken the HEDT market by storm. UCFF PC manufacturers, however, opted to play the wait and watch game, and it took a while before the embedded SoC versions of the first-generation Ryzens started appearing in the PC market. Last year, ASRock Industrial introduced one of the first Ryzen UCFF systems in the form of the 4X4 BOX-V1000M. Read on to find out how the unit fares against the entrenched incumbents.

ThinkComputers: Lexar SL200 Portable Solid State Drive Review

The drive I am talking about is the new SL200 Portable Solid State Drive which features sequential read and write speeds of 550 MB/s and 440 MB/s respectively. Not everyone has USB 3.2 gen 2 ports on their PC or laptop so it does make sense to still offer a slower, yet faster than typical portable storage solution.
