In our Corsair EX400U review, we see how this 4TB USB4 SSD fares compared to its competition and see just how much faster these USB4 drives are compared to others we have tested

Article version here:

This is the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 (Strix Halo) AI mini PC from Framework

At SC25, we found the Gigabyte R1A3-T40-AAV1, sporting an Ampere AmpereOne M CPU with 12 channels of DDR5 memory and lots of PCIe Gen5

Broadcom showed off its 144-lane PCIe Gen6 (PEX90144) switch at SC25 and showed its roadmap to PCIe Gen7 and Gen8 144-lane switches

We review the BrosTrend S2, a 5-port 2.5GbE switch that has become quite popular recently for its low power consumption. What we found was a low-cost switch built differently, using a MaxLinear chip instead of Realtek

We take a look at the GL.iNet Comet GL-RM1PE, a little PoE-powered box that lets you easily remotely manage systems as if you were sitting next to them

At SC25, we saw Google's new Ironwood TPU v7 chip on display and snapped some photos for folks to see the AI chip

woooooo im at a place doing a thing

We were instructed to make angry sysadmin faces in the second picture. Apparently that's not possible lol! It was great seeing @Patrick1Kennedy of @ServeTheHome and @tekwendell of @Level1Techs at #SC25!

HPE showed off its next-generation AMD EPYC "Venice" socket SP7 supercomputing platform at SC25, along with its Slingshot 400 interconnect

My SC25 highlight today was a gentleman that came up to me and said our 2022 liquid cooling videos at CoolIT showing liquid cooling basics helped him land his job. Not much better than that https://t.co/rtBJKa4npQ

Intel has confirmed to STH that it has removed an upcoming mainstream Xeon line from its roadmap. We go into the Diamond Rapids roadmap change on the STH main site and its impacts in the Substack. This is a big one folks

We review the Ubiquiti Flex Mini 2.5G (USW-Flex-2.5G-5) and see both how it is constructed and how it performs, finding a neat similarity between it and the ultra-cheap switches. Ubiquiti is now in our Ultimate Fanless 2.5GbE switch buyer's guide as well

We review the TP-Link BE3600 WiFi 7 portable travel router, including testing the device with our high-end load generation tool. Perhaps most eye-opening was the software side, with many persistent requests to share data

AMD discussed the next-generation 2nm AMD EPYC Venice at Financial Analyst Day 2025, along with Zen 6, plans for SerDes, Helios, and more

The Minisforum MS-R1 is a 12-core Arm workstation with PCIe expandability, dual 10Gbase-T, and a nice design. There are many "Key Lessons Learned" for this one that should not be missed

We take our new $1 million traffic generation tool and test the HOT $279 Ubiquiti UCG-Fiber. So much good stuff in this one:

The new Xsight Labs E1 DPU, featuring 64 Arm Neoverse Arm cores and 800G networking, powers this next-generation Hammerspace AI storage solution. 320 cores, 4Tbps networking, and 40 U.2 SSDs per 1 OU of rack space. So cool!
