AMD FX Vishera processors are going to be around for a while. For a matter of fact, they’re going to be introduced with 2 newer chipsets with bumped clock speed and higher-than-FX 8350 TDP of 220 W.

AMD plans to stick with piledriver architecture throughout 2013, so AMD 990FX and 970 chipsets are going to be around.

The last time when I’ve reviewed the 990FX motherboards was with AMD 965 BE. But thanks to few good friends who have given a chip, the Asus Sabertooth 990FX 2.0 will be tested with FX-8350 and compared with the Crosshair V Formula-Z.

But with advancements in design from processors, chips all the way to layout and form factor specs, it reduces that compromise significantly.  In the end, we will see cases like these.

SEAGATE IronWolf 110 ZA240NM10001 240GB NAS SSD Review

The Seagate Ironwolf 110 SSD is made for small to SOHO NAS arrays. While NAS bays do provide cages with both 3.5"/ 2.5" drives, there are some really small form factor NAS specifically made for 2.5" SATA drives for mechanical and solid-state. There are also 3.5"/2.5" hybrid NAS that uses SSDs as additional caching for the primary storage array. Naturally, this would make a market for NAS specific SSDs. This is the Seagate Ironwolf variant. The Ironwolf 110SSD comes with a set of its marketed features- AgileArray firmware and DuraWrite are two of these firmware specific implementations. These NAS SSDs do that have a 5-year warranty with an included 2-year data recovery support. Though the provision for this data recovery support varies between countries.
