Nach dem Artikel Windows 7: AHCI-Umstellung ohne Probleme fragen sich erwartungsgemäß viele Anwender: wie verhält es sich unter Windows 8 ?
Wir wollen nicht zu weit vorausgreifen, aber eines gleich vorweg, das Prozedere ist zumindest sehr ähnlich...
Bevor wir aber zu den richtigen Rezepturen greifen und euch zeigen, was dazu nötig wäre, noch ein paar Hintergrundinformationen zum Thema AHCI: das Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) ist ein offener Schnittstellen-Standard für Serial-ATA-Controller. Er ermöglicht es, mit diesen Controllern per Software zu kommunizieren und somit die Betriebszustände einzustellen, die den Laufwerken alle Vorteile von AHCI ermöglichen. Das bedeutet im Klartext, dass der Betrieb von SATA-Hostadaptern im AHCI-Betriebsmodus aktiviert wird, um Festplatten-Funktionen wie Native Command Queuing (NCQ) oder eSATA-Hot-Plugging nutzen zu können. Native Command Queuing benötigen wir um mit einem Datenträger mehrere Kommandos entgegenzunehmen und diese in einer Warteschlange (Queue) entsprechend zu verwalten. Das Command Queuing kann den Datendurchsatz steigern, wenn viele Prozesse oder Threads gleichzeitig auf die Festplatte zugreifen. eSATA-Hot-Plugging ist nichts anderes als die Fähigkeit, ein externes SATA Laufwerk schnell und unkompliziert ins System einzubinden und die volle SATA Geschwindigkeit abhängig vom vorhandenen SATA-Controller zu nutzen...

The Cooler Master Comforter Mini doubles as a pad for tables and laptops up to 15.6". It even could be used as a laptop cooler since it has a hard tilted surface. The overall styling and build quality is good and it's affordable.

If you are on the market for a new keyboard there is a good chance given the market trends that you might be considering a mechanical keyboard. Back with membrane keyboards all you really needed to consider was the keyboards features, software, and to some branding. Now, even once you have decided to go with a mechanical keyboard you have to consider what kind of switch type you want and of course most people don’t really know what the colors mean. This is one of the questions I’m asked all of the time, because of that I figured I would talk a little about it here. I hope it helps you on your decision.

When it comes to drive enclosures, both of the internal and external flavour, there is, generally speaking, one name that always pops to mind and this is Icy Dock. For many years now they have been creating enclosures, mounts and backplanes in a whole heap of varieties – some of which we’d never have thought were useful. The backplane that I’ll be looking at today is just one example of a product that I’d look through their catalogue, see and skip past as it doesn’t immediately jump out to me as a product that needs much attention.
For the vast majority of home users, having a server at home is not something that would really shout out as being needed and on the whole, they are not, but with media streaming and file sharing become more common, some users are making the move to build their own. Naturally the obvious path, rather than buying one, is to build a system from common desktop components, using a mid tower chassis to house everything, but many chassis only offer internal drive bays and there can be few at that. For those that are keen on keeping things backed up or who want easy access to their drives without having to open the case, having a backplane is a simple solution that gives flexibility of access whilst adding additional 3.5″ space.
The MS155SP-B that we’re looking at today is a simple, straight to the point backplane. By simply mounting into the optical drive area, this backplane gives five additional drive bays that can be individually removed from the system in a hot-swap manner with ease.
Anyone that has owned an Icy Dock product of this type or have read my past reviews on some of their products will know that they like to keep the packaging and extras down to a minimum, after all there’s no need for a heap of paperwork, leaflets and other non-vital parts that typically ends up staying in the box.

It's been over ten years since I've last reviewed a Lamptron product on DV Hardware! Back then the company was primarily known for its CCFL products, but now Lamptron is best known for its fan controllers and some of its other modding products. The subject of this review is the Lamptron FC10 Special Edition, a unique four-channel fan controller that uses vintage Nixie tubes!

With modern computer components continuing the trend of shrinking in size while also increasing in performance, the small form-factor (SFF) market is big business. Taking size reductions to the extreme, can Gigabyte’s BRIX prove its worth to downsizing system builders?

The D-Link DGL-5500 Gaming Router AC1300 router is designed around the Qualcomm Streamboost technology. Streamboost gives the DGL-5500 the capability to perform advanced traffic shaping. Along with the Streamboost technology is the implementation of the newest 802.11ac standard, providing concurrent dual-band connectivity at some of the highest speeds currently available.

Die Auswahl an Lüftersteuerungen auf dem Markt ist groß. Umso wichtiger ist es, für seine Radaubrüder die optimale Steuerung zu finden, die nicht nur funktional sondern auch noch optisch ansprechend ist. Viele Steuerungen beginnen mit der Spannungsregelung erst ab 7 Volt oder sehen aus, als hätte man sie aus einem 1990er Komplett-PC ausgebaut - hier bietet Scythe eine Alternative. Einigen hier wird Scythe bereits in Bezug auf sehr potente CPU Kühler ein Begriff sein. Doch neben Lüftern und Kühlern vertreibt Scythe auch Lüftersteuerungen, die definitiv einen Test bei OCinside.de wert sind. Deshalb präsentieren wir heute einen Testbericht der Scythe Kaze Master II 4-Kanal VFD Lüftersteuerung.

Portable power banks (or battery packs as i like to call them) may have been around for quite some time now but it seems that many people i know of don't seem to care much about carrying such a gadget with them at all times. Luckily the growing number of companies that have as their sole job to design and manufacture portable battery packs and the infinite number of models currently available in the market mean that the same doesn't apply for most people and so such devices just might be amongst the top hottest things in the market currently. From the moment NikKTech came online we have used and reviewed quite a few such devices some of which yielded exemplary results while others unfortunately didn't even make it to our pages due to hardware errors. XTPower is behind some of the best models currently out in the market including the massive MP-23000A (although now they released the MP-32000A) which we reviewed a while back but since it was obviously too much for most people we just had to check their more "mainstream" models the first of which is the XT-10000ADF Portable Battery.
