Coolermaster Storm Sonuz 2-Channel Gaming Headset Review

Posted March 25, 2013 by Brendon Fernandes

Introduction While the flavor is 5.1 gaming headphones, many a time people prefer a good old 2 channel headphone. The advantage is that you can use a 2 channel headphone even for listening to music from a portable audio device. So while Coolermaster has 2x 5.1 headphones available in India they have also launched the [...]

WD 500GB Blue WD5000LPVT 2.5″ 7mm Storage Drive Review

Posted March 25, 2013 by Roshan Ashraf Shaikh

WD sends a 500GB Blue Series drive with a 7mm thickness form-factor. There’s really nothing much to be said, but slimmer 2.5mm drives are 7mm thick. Some 7mm thick drives were reviewed in the past and they have many good usefulness such installing them on an ultrabook or pretty decent alternate to install in a [...]

WD WD2002FAEX 2TB Black 3.5″ Storage Drive Review

Posted February 21, 2013 by Roshan Ashraf Shaikh

WD sent their Caviar Black version of 2TB drive: 2002 FAEX for evaluation. Last time when I reviewed the WD Red series, it made a good impression especially when it comes to temperatures during load. It makes a lot more sense to go for such drives when you’re considering RAID 0 configurations, although I am [...]

SanDisk ReadyCache 32GB SATA III SSD Cache Drive Review

Posted February 16, 2013 by Roshan Ashraf Shaikh

The first SSD based Cache drive that I’ve reviewed was Corsair Accelerator which used the SSD Caching software from Nvelo. At the time of writing that review, because of the Nvelo caching software, the function of SSD Cache was extremely limited but then there was an update where they said they’ve taken care of it [...]

CM Storm Recon 800dpi- 4000dpi ambidextrous gaming mouse review

Posted February 9, 2013 by Roshan Ashraf Shaikh

CM storm’s gaming hardware (and some cases) made a pretty good impression so far, especially their keyboards. This mouse is an ambidextrous design and its been a long time since I’ve used one. Keeping that in mind, I have high expectations for CM Storm’s Recon. Listen

iDanceAudio Earphones and Headphones Roundup

Posted February 9, 2013 by Brendon Fernandes

iDance Audio (NFSW Link) isn’t a very well known company but they are exclusively into headphones. Their headphone designs are a bit funky in appearance and anyone might mistake these as poser headphones – all looks zero substance. However I was intrigued that they have so many different models but while many smaller headphone manufacturers [...]

Seagate Backup Plus Desktop 3TB STCA3000100/200/300 USB 3.0 Storage Drive Review

Posted January 14, 2013 by Roshan Ashraf Shaikh

The last Seagate drive that I reviewed was the 1TB portable version of Backup plus. The one that I’ve recently received from Seagate is the desktop 3TB version. Unlike the portable version, the desktop version requires an AC adapter to power up the drive. Although it should be of news that during CES 2013, a [...]

Bitfenix Outlaw APAC Edition Inverted ATX Chassis Review

Posted December 26, 2012 by Roshan Ashraf Shaikh

Cheap cases are everywhere and something that sells pretty quickly too. They’re light and the enclosure is good enough for most people with few requirements and doesn’t cost a lot. You’ve read about Betfenix’s cases that I reviewed before. They’re proved to be good cases with good value so far. So what’s more there to [...]
