If you buy one new component in 2026, make it a balanced one: a modern multi‑core CPU with strong single‑thread boost, 32 GB of fast system memory for serious multitasking, a PCIe/NVMe SSD for the OS and active projects, and a GPU that supports hardware AV1 encoding and at least 8 GB of VRAM —...
This renewed HP desktop listing — an Intel Core i5‑12500 (6 cores, 12 threads) with 32 GB DDR4, a 1 TB PCIe NVMe SSD, integrated Intel UHD Graphics 770, Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, and Windows 11 Pro included (plus wired keyboard and mouse) — promises a lot for a value‑focused, ready‑to‑use system. On...
Liquid Web and InMotion Hosting both pitch themselves as sensible next steps for websites moving beyond shared hosting, but they approach the “relaxed” managed VPS market very differently — one emphasizing a polished, SLA-backed managed experience, the other offering broader hardware options and...
Infortrend’s latest U.2 NVMe announcements mark a clear push to move enterprise storage beyond incremental refreshes and into an era focused squarely on AI-scale throughput, NVMe-oF fabrics, and high-density U.2 economics—an aggressive strategy that pairs new flagship nodes with purpose-built...
StorageReview’s lab has reset the high-water mark for brute-force numerical computing: the team computed π to 314 trillion digits using a single 2U server, a four‑month uninterrupted run that makes a pointed argument about where real-world bottlenecks live in extreme-scale computations and why...
Microsoft’s BitLocker is getting a tangible speed and security upgrade: Windows 11 now supports hardware‑accelerated BitLocker, moving bulk disk encryption into dedicated silicon on supported devices and adding hardware‑wrapped keys so the operating system never sees plaintext encryption keys in...
Microsoft has quietly flipped a fundamental switch in its server storage architecture: Windows Server 2025 now includes an opt‑in Native NVMe storage stack that removes the long-standing SCSI translation layer, promising dramatic IOPS uplifts and substantial CPU savings for modern NVMe SSDs —...
Microsoft has quietly rewired a core part of Windows Server so modern NVMe SSDs can finally speak to the OS without being forced through a decades‑old SCSI translation layer — and the results, in Microsoft’s lab numbers, are eye‑watering: substantially higher IOPS and major CPU savings on...
Microsoft has flipped the switch: Windows Server 2025 now includes a native NVMe storage stack that removes decades of SCSI translation and exposes NVMe’s multi‑queue, low‑latency semantics to the kernel — a platform modernization that Microsoft says delivers large IOPS uplifts and significant...
The Linux kernel has received a critical stability fix for a use‑after‑free in its NVMe stack: CVE‑2025‑68265 — described upstream as "nvme: fix admin request_queue lifetime" — which corrects the controller teardown ordering so that the controller's admin request_queue cannot be referenced after...
Microsoft’s October cumulative update, KB5066835, landed not just as another Patch Tuesday bundle but as the vehicle for one of the most consequential storage changes in recent Windows Server history: an explicit push to reduce NVMe storage overhead and let modern SSDs perform closer to their...

The budget desktop market in 2025 is more diverse and capable...
Team Ninja’s official Steam specification sheet makes a blunt choice: Nioh 3 will require Windows 11 on PC and demand a surprisingly large installation footprint — 125 GB on an SSD, with an NVMe SSD recommended for the recommended performance tier. This new system-requirements disclosure...
The gaming‑PC placebo is real: dozens of forum threads and decades of benching show that social comparison — a buddy’s boast about “10 more FPS” or “100MHz more core clock” — routinely convinces otherwise‑happy players that something is wrong with their system, even when subjective gameplay was...
MSI’s Cubi NUC AI+ 2MG quietly signals a strategic pivot: the company best known for high-octane gaming rigs is doubling down on compact, enterprise-focused mini PCs that ship with Microsoft Copilot+ credentials and on-device AI acceleration—packing a surprisingly complete business feature set...
