Gigabyte debuts new BRIX hardware in growing micro-PC market The battle for the spot in our hearts that is just large enough to accommodate a micro-PC has begun in ernest, with a good number of system builders announcing their own miniature hardware. Recently Intel showed off the new lineup of its […]
Even though the micro-PC game seems to only really be heating up at the moment with the introduction of so many different NUC-like devices, some companies have been at it for years already. Take MSI for example, which has offered its Windbox miniature systems for quite a long time. It’s now […]

SSDs are More Durable Solid State Drives feature a non-mechanical design of NAND flash mounted on circuit boards, and are shock resistant up to 1500g/0.5ms. Hard Drives consist of various moving parts making them susceptible to shock and damage.
A solid-state drive (SSD) (also known as a solid-state disk, though it contains no actual disk, nor a drive motor to spin a disk) is a solid-state storage device that uses integrated circuit assemblies as memory to store data persistently. SSD technology primarily uses electronic interfaces compatible with traditional block input/output […]
