Supermicro SSE-G48-TG4 Layer 3 switch reviewed by Network Computing
In a year that has seen many of the Tier 1 server vendors struggling to make ends meet, Supermicro has been posting some stunning results. This is in no small part thanks to this manufacturer's huge range of aggressively priced servers, workstations and motherboards, but it has even bigger expansion plans in mind, and has now launched its own range of network switches.

Western Digital VelociRaptor 600GB Reviewed by Techgage
Solid-state may be the future of our storage, but for now, the prices are still high. For those looking for mass storage and still-great speeds, mechanical storage is still on top, and WD's latest VelociRaptor's, which utilize SATA 3.0, sit comfortably above all the rest.

Western Digital VelociRaptor Review (600GB) Review
Western Digital VelociRaptor Review (600GB) Review
Western Digital's original VelociRaptor drive was pretty revolutionary when it debuted. A consumer-focused traditional hard drive, the VelociRaptor offered 300GB of storage spinning along at 10,000RPM. Despite a shift across the industry to solid state storage, WD hasn't forgotten that traditional hard drives still have something to offer.

AMD Opteron 6174 vs Intel Xeon X5650 Review
AMD Opteron 6174 vs Intel Xeon X5650 Review
Intel is in a very strong position in the workstation/server market right now thanks to the performance lead of its Xeon 5500-series CPUs. While the Xeon 5600-series builds on the success of the Xeon 5500-series, AMD has considerably upped the ante. The end result is far greater competition between Xeon and Opteron than there has been in recent years. The AMD Opteron 6174 and its Magny-Cours design are a great step forward for AMD.
