The title of the post is a bit confusing from the start. Let me explain. See, there's a big misconception that you need just one storage drive in your desktop computer, adding an external drive, or cloud base storage for backup. Because let's face it, no computer is impervious to system failure. If you own a desktop computer or are new to building a computer, you should know that PC builders like myself craft systems with more than one hard drive. Your main boot drive, install and launch applications with the second drive, and the third drive can be used as a backup, storing large files.

We just published an article that entailed things you need to know before buying a mouse (click the highlighted text) if you want to read that article. In researching that article, I noticed a trend many manufacturers are following is the cutout design. Not sure what purpose it serves regarding performance; nonetheless, it does bring some uniqueness to the overall design.

Simply put, there is no functioning operating system without the keyboard and mouse as it's the direct connection to any computer system. The essential features of the mouse are the sensor, located on the bottom, two buttons on the top (left click-right click), and the scroll wheel.

You read the title of this post correctly; we at Tekspecz have gathered new information on Intel's soon-to-be-released 12th Gen processor regarding pricing and specification. Before we even discuss pricing, let's examine the specs.

Suppose you have, say, an aged laptop that's four years old slow to a crawl regarding performance. Speed things up by replacing that spinning HDD with a speedier SSD storage drive. If you don't want to spend an exuberant amount of money on a new hard drive, and storage capacity is not a big deal to you, I may have found an SSD that not only meets the budget but offers optimal performance. I present you the Kingston A400 Series 240GB SSD, retailing for just $27 on Amazon.

Apple has officially announced its next-generation SoC design made specifically for the upcoming new MacBook Pro product line. Launched around the end of 2020, the M1 processor will join the M1 Pro and M1 Max. In addition, the chip is now more powerful and constructed on a 5nm process node.

When buying RAM, what usually decides your purchase is the capacity and speed. Users should also focus on CL Timing, which is an acronym for Cas Latency. An example of CAS latency numbers is CL16-18-38 or CL 14-4-34. The numbers after the "CL" represent the CAS Latency of the RAM kit. But what does it all mean? And how does it impact performance? Let's talk about it in this newly written episode of Explanation Needed.

Along with the iPhone 13, iPad, and iPad Mini, Apple announced the new Apple Watch Series 7, overtaking the SE and Series 3 as the new flagship smartwatch—featuring a marginal revamped design with a larger display. The Series 7 size options are 41mm and 45mm, retail price starting at $399. When Apple announced the Apple Watch Series 7, details of a launch date were vague, "later this Fall," as stated by Apple. We now have a confirmed release date, October 15. You can now preorder the Apple Watch Series 7( which started on October 8).

It's been a while since we at Tekspecz have penned a must-have gadget or hardware you should purchase. So, we continue this series with Top Three budget gaming Monitors that will be well worth your purchase and should be sitting on your desktop.

Arguably the most significant upgrade to the iPhone 13 Pro is the camera. Other upgrades include a faster processor, a brighter display, and increased battery power. But the camera on the new iPhone 13 Pro is the pinnacle feature on the device and main selling point.

The title of the post is in no way a lame clickbait attempt. Yes, there is a PCIe 5.0 SSD. Developed by Kioxia, it recently held a China Flash Market Summit. It gives a glimpse of the next-generation PCIe technology. The prototype will exceed data transfer speeds crushing any top-tier SSD's on the market regarding overall performance. It's worth noting; this SSD hails from Kioxia's data center product line.

Back in June, Microsoft released its Windows 11 PC Health App, which is a compatibility checker. Unfortunately, I was one of many who downloaded the app and found it vague when it delivered a message stating my system was incompatible without giving me the specifics.

Today, Nvidia has just released a brand new display driver that will add DLSS, an acronym of Deep Learning Super Sampling. It will support 28 gaming titles and is certified for both Windows 10 and the upcoming Windows 11 operating system. Adding 28 DLSS games will up the total to more than 100 games, impacting Nvidia's AI-based temporal upscaling. DLSS takes games from lower resolution providing a much smoother frame rate without compromising image quality.

What we have here from Sony is on paper a very powerful aftermarket SSD explicitly for the PS5 gaming console, but the drive itself is under the Nextorage Brand. The SSD has caught many such as me by surprise since just three days prior; Sony has made it official and now supports third-party SSD upgrades on the PS5. Two companies have already launched SSD designed solely for the current generation console. Still, the Nextorage PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 NVMe SSD is a unique piece of hardware that promises high-peak performance.

Oh, we knew Apple was going to hold a significant event this week. Whether or not Apple was going to unveil the new iPhone 13 was the question. But really, there was no doubt Apple was going to reveal their next-gen flagship smartphone. There were, of course, the rumors, leaks, and renders posted on the web for months leading up to this event. So now it's here, the iPhone 13, ready for purchase by would-be consumers. Here's everything you need to know.

Ahead of Windows 11 launch, AMD is already releasing new Radeon Software Adrenalin and Ryzen chipset drivers for Windows 11. Along with driver support, a new feature will also include an auto-overclocking function for AMD systems.

Worldwide chip shortage is causing prices to inflate on processors and graphics cards. But that doesn't mean reasonable-priced CPUs aren't out there, search hard enough, you'll find a processor that meets your budget. For example, I manage to find an AMD Ryzen 5000G for just $258.

Last year when Nvidia unveiled their RTX 3080 Ti that featured 12GB of GDDR6X memory, I was astonished that any graphic can cross the 8GB barrier. But now there are rumors of a 20GB graphics card.

You wouldn't think applying thermal paste to a processor to be a difficult task. Layer the paste the CPU, not hard. Well, applying thermal paste can be easy, provided that you use the right amount. Tool little or too much paste can impede heat transfer.

In this continued back to School Gadget series, we take a look at our recommended tablets. Aside from the laptop, arguably, I'd say it's the most used device amongst students. The market is fully saturated with tablets. But the three tablets that make this guide listing are the following.
