It is a legit point and that's why these Optane devices don't sell. Yes, QD1 read is impressive on these, but it is just not useful to…

No, it doesn't. This is PCIe gen 3 x4. Optane PCIe gen 4 x4 devices cost more than a PS5 itself.

This is not the best Optane 3D XPoint SSD (more like low end of Optane to be honest). So, its main advantage is 4K random read queue depth…

X3D, at a bargain price, is worth considering. 5950X, unless you really have high core count workflow / usage, it is mostly FOMO or numb…

Apple knows people want 256GB. With Apple products, in terms of value for money, it is best to avoid upgrades. Once you decided to upgrade…

OP, are you willing to post your OW invoice number? This type of price match at OW is staff dependent. Also, there was once a staff wanted…

Buy buy buy, it is your credit card. With new Ryzen CPUs, Snapdragon X Elite coming soon and M4 already announced, upgrade AM4 to the max…

Clear is away on holiday. I already have questions / requests for him when he is back.

Mostly if you have a Thunderbolt 4 / USB 4 enclosure. This is the result using an el cheapo USB4 cable with USB4 enclosure + 1TB NM790 (not…

Think positive. Either wait for a good deal or perhaps we will see a fire sale on iPad 9 ($399 perhaps - okay, that's probably wishful…

I wouldn't call iPad 10th gen "premium" iPad. It is the new entry level iPad. iPad 9th gen is now removed from Apple Store.

That's already the new reduced price. New reduced RRP is $599, but we OZBers don't pay RRP so I checked AOC Apple store price.

iPad 10th gen 64GB, new price... but I can only get $559 (from Apple though, so some retailers could sell them cheaper). A14 Bionic, 60Hz…

Which one? There are multiple Xiaomi WiFi 7 routers. Xiaomi Router 10000? Also, do you have any good info on link aggregation under Windows…

@Telcobiz Just want to confirm, on these SIM pack, the expiry date is **2024-08-06** right? The annoying / dumb thing with Boost / Telstra…

Yes, that's fine. Done that a couple of times. There used to an issue porting from Telstra to Boost (and Boost to Telstra) which needed a…

Best to wait at least 24 hours. While it may look like you can start using Vodafone soon after your initial porting request, the entire…

I'll gladly take your ROG GT-AX11000 so you can buy an even better router.

Do you have the performance result of local file transfer? Obviously, 2.5Gbps port has to connected to the PC sending file otherwise the…

It is still consumer grade WiFi chip from Qualcomm. It is the latest chip, that's all. There is growing pain as with every first gen…

AX88U has 8 gigabit LAN ports + 1 gigabit WAN port. GT-AX6000 has 4 gigabit LAN ports, 1 x 2.5 gigabit LAN port and 1 x 2.5 gigabit WAN…

On Apple lightning cable. It is known Apple prolonged it (wanted to keep it for as long as possible) because of the licensing fee they can…

When we look at the specs on the Web (and if you want, the linux kernel setting config for WiFi), you do feel the EU specs are too strict.…

It's not ideal for people who are not tech savvy or there is no tech savvy person in the household. Just to repeat my comment above, after…

It is risky for people who are not familiar with merlin firmware and/or linux. However, from a brief look, my Asus router (which is running…

There is a difference. With OpenWRT, the router maker needs to ensure the proprietary hardware chipset network acceleration code is put in…

The commands used alters the nvram. Technically, it should be possible. T-Mobile (AC-1900) can be flashed to become RT-AC68U and support…

That's Merlin's official position (and you can understand why, since Merlin's firmware is based on Asus firmware). However,…
