TechPowerUp: Noctua NH-D12L Review - Perfect for Mini-ITX
Noctua looks to conquer the small form factor cooling market with the NH-D12L. With its maximum height of 145 mm, it fits standard 4U rackmount chassis and a wider range of Mini-ITX cases than traditional tower coolers. Add exceptional long-term support, good performance for its targeted market, and low noise levels and you have a solid offering for those limited by height.

Anandtech: Best Internal Hard Drives: July 2022
Data storage requirements have kept increasing over the last several years. While SSDs have taken over the role of the primary drive in most computing systems, hard drives continue to be the storage media of choice in areas dealing with large amount of relatively cold data. Hard drives are also suitable for workloads that are largely sequential and not performance sensitive. The $/GB metric for SSDs (particularly with QLC in the picture) is showing a downward trend, but it is still not low enough to match HDDs in that market segment.

The Guru of 3D: HP FX900 1 TB NVMe Review
HP (rather associated with pre-built PCs) is not a new competitor in the market of SSDs. For example, Hilbert checked their SATA and NVMe models in 2020; those were not the first ones from that brand covered on guru3d. This time, it’s an FX900 model we’ve received in a 1 TB variant. It’s manufactured with the assistance of BiWin and comes in 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB capacities. It’s aimed at the gamers, according to HP, and it would be fair to place this drive between “entry” and “mid-tier” levels.
