There is very little outside of editing moving large amount of files around on drives and a few other use cases that can take advantage of NVME speeds so this drive is rather pointless outside of those tasks and for people obsessed with numbers being higher Even PCI-E gen 3 NVME is more than...

Its an android device which means it can do everything a phone can including streaming so you dont need a phone for music straming but like it was pointed out above most users who buy one of these wont be doing that they will most likely add files to the device or a microSD card It cant call or...

One thing that sony has not stated and which is not mentioned in this article is the new CPU in the A300 series which is a 11nm Qualcomm QCS2290 which is way more power efficient than the older NXP i.MX.8M.mini 28nm CPU used in the A100 series The short battery life is due to all the blootware...

Anyone ranting about the drawbacks and downsides of DAP´s compared to a phone fail to see the advantages of a DAP First you dont drain the battery of your phone with a DAP which i have found was a bit of a problem when i used my phone to listen to music it drained the battery too fast and yes i...

It would be so much better if there existed a PCI-E gen 4 x1 or x4 card and a chip that could handle the double bandwidth 2000 MB/s for x1 and 8000 MB/s would mean you could have cards with many more ports than all those crappy x1 and x2 PCI-E gen 3 cards Only other option is ditching the GPU...
