Aside from the robot, the zone features a series of new mobile storage products, including the Thunderbolt 5-supported Project TITAN external SSDs.

This SSD has speeds up to 6,000MB/s and has a DisplayPort video output. Meanwhile, the SE940 offers 4,000MB/s performance and a clamp design for direct use with mobile and camera rigs.

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.

Acer PA100 portable SSD brings fast, flexible storage on the go

Up to 2TB

Published

on

Acer is expanding its storage lineup with the PA100 Portable SSD. It’s a compact external drive designed for users who need faster storage across multiple devices.

The PA100 uses USB 3.2 Gen 1 connectivity. It reaches sequential read speeds of up to 560MB/s and write speeds of up to 430MB/s. This makes it suited for everyday tasks such as transferring large files, backing up content, managing documents, and moving media between devices.

Up to 2TB of portable storage

The PA100 comes in three capacities: 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB. This gives users options depending on whether they need extra space for documents and schoolwork or larger collections of photos, videos, and project files.

Acer also designed the drive with mobility in mind. The PA100 has a slim 9mm profile and a lightweight build, while its reinforced construction is designed to withstand everyday travel and handling.

The drive comes with a 2-in-1 USB-C to USB-C and USB-A cable. This allows it to connect to compatible PCs, tablets, smartphones, and other devices without requiring a separate adapter. It also supports major operating systems and USB-C mobile platforms.

Designed for everyday use

Power efficiency is another focus. Acer says the PA100 uses less than 3W during operation, while idle power consumption can drop to as low as 0.62W.

The drive also features an optimized thermal design to help maintain stable performance during extended transfers and daily workloads.

The Acer PA100 Portable SSD is backed by a three-year limited warranty. Pricing and availability may vary by market.

New Mac mini starts at a whopping $899, only 256GB of storage

It comes with the M6 or the M5 Pro.

Published

Almost two decades ago, Apple was infamous for being an anti-gamer brand. Though the company’s devices touted superior protection against viruses, they couldn’t play video games, alienating a significant chunk of the population and forcing them onto PCs. For a while now, the Mac has changed the status quo, bringing in more powerful hardware that can play games. Today, Apple is championing that cause further through the newly launched Mac mini.

Compared to the chunkier Macs, the Mac mini has a lithe 5” x 5” profile, emphasizing the “mini” in its name. Despite the size, the new mini will tout two flavors of Apple silicon: the M6 and the M5 Pro.

The M6 variant delivers with up to two times faster gaming performance with ray tracing when running Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition, compared to the previous M4 version. Meanwhile, the M5 Pro version touts up to 4.5 times faster rendering performance with ray tracing in Blender, compared to the M2 Pro. It will come with macOS 27 Golden Gate out of the box.

You won’t have to worry about connectivity, either. The Mac mini comes with compatibility for Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and 2.5Gb Ethernet (going up to 10Gb in upgraded versions). It will also have two USB-C ports, three Thunderbolt 5 ports (but only Thunderbolt 4 for the M6 version), and HDMI port, an Ethernet port, and a headphone jack.

Unfortunately, price seems to be another thing that it’s getting from PCs. The new Mac mini has an increased starting price. Specifically, the M6 version starts at US$ 899 (with only 256GB of storage), and the M5 Pro version starts at US$ 1,699 (for 512GB of storage). Preorders are open now, but they ship out on September 22.
