TeamGroup’s 64TB PCIe Gen5 SSD targets AI and cloud environments, but without pricing and benchmarks, it’s unclear whether it’s a game-changer or a gimmick.

Though the SN8100 boasts blazing Gen5 speeds and strong efficiency, it still can’t dethrone Intel’s four-year-old Optane P5800X in real-world SSD performance.

ADATA's gaming-focused division, XPG, has showcased several of its products at Computex, and interestingly, they have seen an endorsement by NVIDIA's CEO. XPG Unveils High-End Power Supplies, Cooling Solutions, RAMs & SSDs At Computex, Seeing Appreciation From NVIDIA's Jensen XPG has always managed to deliver quality products to PC consumers, especially their "Core Reactor" power supply SKUs, which are said to be one of the best options out there. This year, when we managed to visit XPG's booth, we were surprised to see Jensen before us, and interestingly, he had his signature on the company's next-gen PSUs, which are said to power NVIDIA's RTX 50 series GPUs. Apart from power supplies, we saw the company's upcoming PC cases, cooling solutions, and SSDs, so there's much to discuss. Starting with the power supplies, our eyes went on XPG's Core Reactor II series, which had Jensen's signature. The main upgrade with this series is that they are now ATX 3.0 and ATX 3.1 compliant, and come with up to an 80 PLUS GOLD certification, making these PSUs highly capable. XPG had explicitly stated that this series was designed to cater to the "power-hungry" NVIDIA RTX 50 series GPUs, since they come up to a 1200W power rating. With Jensen's blessing, the Core Reactor II models are something to look at. 2 of 9 Interestingly, XPG also had their flagship-level PSU on display, the FUSION lineup, which is said to come with a power rating of 1600W, with Titanium certification, making it ample for NVIDIA's RTX 5090. There were other lineups on display too, such as the XPG Cybercore, which features Platinum certification and up to a 1300W rating. For the mid-tier segment, XPG had their PYLON, Kyber, and Edgecore PSUs on display, all catering to different power levels and certifications. 2 of 9 Apart from PSUs, the XPG Invader X PC chassis is also on display, which is the company's approach towards "backside-connected" components. The Invader X BTF features a panoramic view with 3mm glass panels, along with 4x 120mm pre-installed fans. The case supports ATX motherboards and BTF ones, too, making it a great option if you are looking for nicer cable management with your build. Moving from chassis, we saw XPG's Project Infinity DDR5 U-DIMM memory modules, which is the company's most capable offering to date. The memory is said to feature up to 8,000 MHz with up to 48 GB capacity per module. In terms of the design, Project Infinity features a brushed aluminum layer at the bottom, and has panels stacked at the top, to show a diffused RGB look, which is amazing to see. 2 of 9 Next are the company's cooling solutions, and XPG had both liquid/air-based options on display. Starting with liquid AIOs, the firm showcased their new XPG Levante View PRO 360 liquid cooler, which is the company's option that comes with an in-built 4-inch screen. They feature a large radiator, and we didn't see any 240mm option, so the View lineup might likely be limited to larger AIOs. XPG also showed the upgraded version of their Levante series, the Levante II, which now offers a mirror design on the pump and the onboard fans, bumping the aesthetics. 2 of 9 In terms of air options, XPG showed us their Maestro Plus 62DA CPU air cooler, which comes with a dual-tower design and offers a digital monitoring system. This air cooler supports up to 250W TDP and is also compatible with the latest sockets from Intel/AMD, making it a viable option for current-gen CPUs. There was also a smaller Maestro Plus 42SA cooler, supporting 220W TDP cooling, but it was a more compact design. However, both of them retained the dual-tower configuration. 2 of 9 Next up are the company's high-end SSDs, the Mars 980 Blade, 980 Storm, and 980 PRO, all of which are PCIe Gen5 options by the company, offering a whopping 14,000 MB/s speeds, which is one of the fastest out there. 2 of 9 The Blade and PRO model is equipped with a dedicated aluminum heatsink, while the Storm model features liquid and air cooling, making it a viable option if you want to squeeze out the maximum performance out of the drive. These SSDs will indeed turn out to be one of the fastest options out there, and it will be interesting to see how consumers react to them. XPG/ADATA is definitely one of the brands out there offering top-end quality to its users, and its latest Computex showcase was all about the company's commitment to the PC segment. Deal of the Day

Plus, the app (yes, the app) is easy to use. “After lighting a candle or cooking, the purifier went to work straight away on cleaning the air and the air quality returned to its usual after about 10 minutes,” Fletcher says.Photo: Terri WilliamsDyson V15s Detect Submarine​ Wet-Dry VacuumUnlike most vacuums—thanks to its combination of hardwood and carpet cleaning capabilities as well as and mopping functionality—this Dyson technology is what state-of-the art home cleaning dreams are made of.

Dyson’s most powerful cordless vacuum has 70 minutes of run time off a single charge, and it intelligently adapts its power based on debris and floor type. The LCD screen shows particles sucked up, charge time left, and the amount of power used. Last but not least, the HEPA filtration traps 99.99% of particles as small as 0.1 microns, and it expels clean air in return.Dyson Ball Animal 3 Upright VacuumEverything you love about Dyson’s cordless stick vacuums still comes in this upright vacuum cleaner, down 25% from retail price. This model is designed with pet owners in mind with unrivaled detangling technology and multiple attachments to help you reach every crevice of your home, especially where hair balls like to accumulate. Its whole-machine filtration ensures that particles are trapped inside the machine, not expelled back into the house to force another run-through.Dyson Hot+Cool HP07 Air Purifier, Heater, and FanAnother air purifier high on our list is this HP07 model, which commerce editor Audrey Lee says “works like a dream, and I noticed within a week of use that I felt noticeably less congested.” The purifier uses a 360 degree filtration system that implements a combination of activated carbon, to remove potentially harmful gases and odors from the air, and its HEPA filter, which catches 99.7% of particles. Its auto mode continuously monitors room temperature and indoor air quality while also running the fan or heat to the degree of your choosing. You can control the device with an included remote or from your app.Dyson Solarcycle Morph CF06 Floor LightDyson makes its foray into lighting gear with its Solarcycle Morph line—clean, modern, extended lines give it an ultracontemporary look.
