Best SSDs: Q1 2019

The unsung hero of PC performance, these days it’s often storage that makes the difference between a fast, responsive PC and something that feels like less. A processor can only work as quickly as it can be fed data, and this is where a good solid state drive can help even a slow system become faster. Whether it’s an upgrade for an older system still packing a hard drive, or building out a new system from scratch, picking the right SSD is one of the more important decisions to make in configuring and customizing a computer. To help with this, we’ve assembled our SSD guide, outlining the best choices in SSDs of every form factor and price range.

Last year saw massive SSD price drops across the entire market. Prices are still declining, but not as quickly as they were several months ago. Overall, the market has settled down quite a bit, but there are some important changes underway. The first products using 96-layer 3D NAND started shipping last year, but with NAND prices (and margins) so low, manufacturers arent eager to burn capital ramping up 96L production. The transition away from 64L will take most of the year, but thats not a problem: so far, the 96L products offer only minimal improvements to performance or power efficiency. Not much is changing with SSD controllers at the moment, either, and even in the high-end NVMe market segment were seeing many new products re-using familiar old controllers. We dont expect any significant changes in the controller landscape until the Phison E16 brings PCIe 4.0 support to consumer SSDs in the second half of 2019.

Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB DDR4 Memory Review

We review the new Dominator Platinum RGB DDR4 memory from Corsair. Not only do these puppies look awesome, but they are also properly specced as well. We received a 4x8GB DDR4 3600MHz CAS 16 DRAM kit from Corsair, so that is 32GB at your disposal for dual and even quad-channel memory configurations.

Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB Review

The Dominator Platinum RGB kits arrive in capacities ranging from 16GB right up to 128GB in a mixture of both 8GB and 16GB modules. The spectrum of speeds is also vast, starting at 3000MHz and moving all the way up to 4800MHz for those seeking the absolute most extreme RAM available. Guaranteeing these speeds, and tight timings, is a tight screening process from high-frequency memory chips along with a custom 10-layer PCB and aluminium heat spreaders to provide generous overclocking headroom.

SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless Gaming Headset Review

The new Arctic Pro Wireless headset is easy to set up, while the multitude of configuration options can be accessed either using the base station or SteelSeries Engine 3. Thanks to the chassis materials, the headset is quite light, while the adjustable woven sky google fabric suspension headband makes sure it will fit all head sizes and shapes. As the manufacturer does explain, only the Arctis Pro + GameDAC offering is fully Hi-Res audio certified, since the 2.4GHz wireless tech cannot support sampling rates higher than 48K. Even in this situation, we do find the same Hi-Res drivers as with the wired (GameDAC) version, while the 2.4GHz transmission mode used is lossless, for high-fidelity purposes.
