Furthermore, the SR800 Magnetic combines storage, charging, and magnetic attachment in one device, with 2,000GB storage and a built-in 5,000mAh battery.

There’s also the SR830 with fingerprint security, and the SD820 with IP68 dust, water, and shock resistance.

Cooling innovations

For gaming and other intensive tasks, ADATA has also unveiled the MARS series. It is one of the industry’s most advanced Gen5 SSD cooling solutions.

The series consists of the MARS 980 STORM, MARS 980 PRO, and MARS 980 BLADE. All models use PCIe Gen5 x4 and reach up to 14,000 / 13,000 MB/s.

The storm uses a patented hybrid cooling system combining liquid and air. The Pro, meanwhile, adopts active cooling with aluminum fins and built-in fan.

Moreover, the BLADE is tailored for thin devices, using a 6nm controller from TSMC.

XPG is also pushing overclocking to new heights with Project INFINITY which delivers up to 9,200MT/s and comes with 48GB capacity per module.

For professional workloads, the AICORE RDIMM reaches 7,200MT/s with 64GB modules, offering stable performance under heavy AI and data tasks.

Lastly, LANCER CUDIMM, equipped with CKD chips, hits an incredible 9,733MT/s and uses 80% recycled aluminum.

SFF-ready platforms for GeForce RTX 50 Series

Finally, XPG is debuting its latest SFF-ready platform for high-performance compact builds.

The NVIDIA-certified VALOR AIR NANO and VALOR MESH NANO Micro-ATX cases deliver an exceptional balance of efficient cooling and optimized space.

XPG is also introducing the new PYMCORE SFX PSU series, compliant with ATX 3.1 meeting the power demands of high-end GPUs.

This ultra-compact SFX PSU can be installed at the front of the VALOR AIR and MESH NANO chassis. That allows longer GPUs to fit into SFF builds without compromising performance.

China-based brand Bambu Lab has officially entered the Philippine market in a bid to reshape how consumers perceive and use 3D printing technology.

Established in Shenzhen, China in 2020, Bambu Lab aims to make 3D printing more accessible, practical, and relevant to daily life through printers and other supplies.

The goal is to support practical home use, creative hobbies, product design, and even specialized tools, while putting emphasis on ease of use.

With such optics, Bambu Lab is trying to make consumers feel that there is less deep technical knowledge required and that they can actually create physical objects with 3D printing.

One of their products is the entry-level Bambu Lab A1 mini, which is compact enough to fit on a small desk.

The brand also has more advanced models which are capable of printing multiple colors and materials on a single run.

To complement the hardware ecosystem, Bambu Lab’s open platform MakerWorld lets users browse, select, and print from an extensive library of shared 3D designs directly from their own desktops.

The platform features a wide variety of objects across multiple categories. There’s household items, DIY tools, children’s toys, props, and educational materials.

In the Philippines, Bambu Lab will open its first concept store at One Ayala, Makati City. The concept corner will give mallgoers the opportunity to see the range of 3D printers and consumables firsthand.
