    This product series has the exact same warranty length and endurance as the Samsung 870 QVO series...The difference is that the Samsung product has slightly faster sequential writes (500 MB/s vs 530 MB/s), as well as offering 4TB and 8TB models. Transcend only offers up to 2TB.

    ASRock Z87-Extreme4 First Windows 8 Certified 8-series Motherboard

    ALL manufacturers pay Microsoft to attain "Windows XXX Certified" or "Designed for Windows XXX". If you haven't gone through this process like I have, (when I used to work for a hardware company), I suggest you keep your ignorance to yourself. :slap:

    Axiomtek Announces MANO873 Mini-ITX Socket LGA1155 Motherboard

    @RaZZ3R Axiomtek's target market is the industrial computer and embedded field. It is not the consumer market; where the trend is to push and remove legacy connections or features. The industrial/embedded market is very conservative in its approach to computing. Its primarily about...

    ASRock Z87-Extreme4 First Windows 8 Certified 8-series Motherboard

    Basically, getting a Windows certification involves a manufacturer paying a fee to Microsoft for them to test the manufacturer's hardware under a specific Windows version. So in this case, a Windows 8 Certification involves ASRock paying Microsoft to test and make sure everything functions...

    One Laptop per Child Association to Release Three New Products at CES

    No it isn't. Firstly, I haven't said a damn thing about fat Americans. In fact, I have NOT mentioned America at all. Next, I didn't mentioned anything about Africans either. ...BOTH of these are YOUR interpretation and presumptions. What I'm talking about is this issue of throwing...

    Intel Core "Haswell" Delayed till Computex 2013, No Show at CES

    :wtf: ...You really don't have a pulse on reality. I'm very glad you don't provide investment advice to anyone. :slap: (1) ARM is already here. They dominate the portable and embedded device markets. See all those tablets, smartphones, affordable embedded boards like Raspberry Pi, etc...

    "NVIDIA is the Single Worst Company We've Ever Dealt With:" Linus Torvalds

    What an absolute load of nonsense. You clearly do NOT know the open community and the behaviour of companies it has to tolerate. Linus Torvalds does NOT run a business. He is a project leader for the Linux Kernel. He actually gets paid by other companies in terms of salary and shares. He doesn't...
