The KIOXIA EXCERIA High Endurance 256GB microSDXC card performs great for its speed class, going in-line with the declared numbers. It uses BiCS 3D Flash memory from Toshiba and comes with very useful features such as waterproof, shockproof, X-ray proofing, temperature durability, ESD immunity but also overheating/ignition prevention. read more

The LIVA Q3 Plus mini-PC from ECS did not disappoint us at all, incorporating a capable piece of hardware in a very small chassis. The system feels snappy in most usage environments, the only slowness we have noticed being during application installs, due to usage of eMMC. Thanks to the solid copper piece on the top and active cooling, the temperature at highest loads is well within safe margins, while the computer remains almost as silent as in IDLE mode. read more

The mainstream TransMemory U301 USB 3.2 Gen1 Flash Drive from KIOXIA is very compact and quite speedy in term of read speeds. The writes are quite slow, so we would mostly recommend it to be used with smaller files or as a drive to store frequently used program kits such as Windows OS, Office and so on. read more

The Viper Elite II memory from Patriot does come with plenty of performance, while being compatible with the latest AMD and Intel systems. By offering capacities of up to 64GB, we can use it in high-end systems for running multiple processes as once such as virtual machines, but it is also ready for working with large video projects in DaVinci Resolve and Premiere Pro 2021. No RGB is available with this series, while the red/black color scheme should nicely fit with most gaming motherboards out there. read more

By incorporating Toshiba’s 96L BiCS4 3D TLC NAND, the TC58NCP090GSD 8-channel controller and RAM cache for storing the mapping tables, Kioxia has built a well-performing M.2 SSD on the PCIe 3.1a bus, while offering enough storage for most applications. This model is mainly used in OEM, workstation systems for handling tough situations like tons of security software, Bitlocker and without a capable drive, the system will get slow fast, even when using a latest-gen CPU. read more
