What Is SATA Express and What are Its Applications?

Image
As people have shifted to solid-state drives (SSDs) from hard drives, there is no coming back. Since they have been introduced it has changed the way for computer storage as these have greatly increased the efficiency of laptops and PCs. These have been the standard interface for easy installation between moving parts, that is computers and storage devices, thereby increasing the reading and writing speed and throughput. But the SATA interface has had a difficult time and reached its limits and it was the time to get on something faster. Accordingly, a new standard of communication comes in the form of SATA Express which helps communication between a computer and storage devices. What is SATA Express? Everything about SATA Express SATA Express is a new specification that blends Serial ATA and Peripheral Connect Interface Express or PCIe, thereby increasing the number of lanes along with a faster interface that will alleviate the SATA bottleneck for transferring data.

Internet Extension Cable With wireless technology making its way in the tech world offering blazing fast speed, the Ethernet cables are the source for the most stable and provide the highest speed of internet connectivity as an extension cable as possible. At times when Ethernet cable is too short to reach your device you don’t have to rely on wireless technology, this is where Internet Extension Cables come in handy. Either you are thinking for commercial use or thinking of home networking, you always have thought of moving the data around the office or your house freely, without any hindrance. The only reliable yet potentially method is the use of Ethernet cable to move data to and fro. When it comes to Wi-Fi routers, many manufacturers have limited the distance limit to 100 m, with the right powered extender you can easily bridge and boost the Internet’s ability to another 100 m. You might be using wireless networking for phones, laptops, and tablets but some devices li

6 Useful Features of Macbook Air SSD Adapter

The storage drive whether it is an SSD or an HDD works alongside your system’s memory and processor to access and use data. SSDs are storage devices that use non-volatile solid-state memory, that is- it uses an altogether different technology than traditional hard drives usually flash memory that allows SSDs to access data transfer improving your computer or Macbook Air’s performance. Apple has always claimed that MacBook Air does not require any services or contains no user-serviceable parts but is it true? Obviously not, the SSD in your laptop can fail anytime. What if you need more storage capacity? Typically you will take it to the apple store nearby you for the service, but that can be expensive and leave you without the machine for a few days. And if you are using an old model of the MacBook Air the company might have discontinued support. However, in your MacBook Air, there is an option for other proprietary components, SSD adapters from specific manufacturers ca

Wireless networking with PCIe Adapters

Image
Peripheral Component Interconnect Express also abbreviated as PCIe, is how expansion cards communicate with your PC. It is a standard type of connection that has been around for several years but now there is an increase in adoption due to its speed for internal devices on a computer. Typically a PCIe adapter consists of one or more data transmission lanes connected serially, which can receive and transmit data. When you want to add wireless networking capability to your personal computer, without any second thought you can choose a PCIe network adapter. M.2 SSD to PCIe 3.0 X4 Card Speed: You might be thinking why not a USB wireless adapter as they are small, portable, and cheap but does that mean they are better than PCIe adapters? As compared to any other technology, say, SATA technology has a speed of up to 0.6 GB/s and PCIe enable interface speeds of up to 1 GB/s, which is capable of serving nearly every person in every network. But if your case is different

Detailed Breakdown of the Technology Used in Solid State Drives

Image
Solid-state drives, also known as SSD in short, are slowly replacing mechanical drives in computers. Mechanical drives are large and bulky, consume more power, and have a higher breakdown rate. SSDs are slimmer, have faster transfer speeds, and are long-lasting. HDDs will remain relevant for a few more years, as SSDs are still expensive and will take time to become affordable enough to completely replace HDDs.   ' Here is a detailed breakdown of components used in a solid-state drive: Connector: Serial ATA, also known as SATA, has been the standard for SSDs since its inception. They have already progressed to 3 generations, with SATA III being the latest standard. The connectors are still the same, with SATA I being compatible with SATA III connectors and vice versa. They only differ in terms of speed; SATA I supports speeds up to 1.5 Gb/s, SATA II up to 3 Gb/s and SATA III up to 6 Gb/s. Online PC adapters can be bought to connect SSDs and HDDs. SATA Express: SATA ex

5 Common Types of Online PC Adapters and Ports Explained

Image
When the very first computer was invented, it had just a display port for connecting the display. Today, modern computers carry a wide array of ports and adapters that allow them to be compatible with a large number of devices and accessories. Many older ports and adapters also evolved to accommodate modern media needs. Most of these ports and online PC adapters can be bought because of their standardized sizes and configurations.   Out of numerous ports, both custom and standard ones. These are the 5 most commonly used ports in computers: Ethernet Ports Internet connectivity is a must for any computer in today’s age, hence every computer comes with an Ethernet port. Wired internet is still unbeatable in terms of speed, stability, and reliability, so many businesses use wired internet connections that use the Ethernet port. One can even get an adapter if the computer lacks an Ethernet port, such as USB to Ethernet adapter. 3.5 MM Audio Jacks Audio is as impor

USB 3.1 Type C Products Explained

Image
You might have heard about USB Type C- after all, USB ports are pretty ubiquitous in the world of tech and electronics. But do you know why USB 3.1 Type C product is different and why it’s kind of awesome? We will briefly go through the features and dive deeper into USB 3.1 type C. USB C is the newest generation of USB port, and it’s been getting a lot of attention lately. Its default protocol is USB 3.1 and the max speed is 10 Gbps. You will find this newer port on everything from smartphones to laptops. USB 3.1 (aka USB 3.1/gen 1 and USB 3.1/ gen 2) is the successor to USB 3.0. Identifiable by its port, USB 3.1/gen 2 doubles the transfer speed of 3.0 to a whopping 10 Gbps. USB Power Delivery 2.0 makes a big step forward as well with up to 100W of power. And like previous versions of USB, it is fully backward compatible with its predecessors. When used with the Type-C connection, things get interesting for 3.1. The 100W of PD v2.0 is enough to power and char

PCIe vs NVMe: An Insight into Difference Between Commonly Used SSD Standards

Image
SATA had long been the king of storage device connection standards, which was dominant in early hard drives and solid-state drives about a decade ago. However, with the introduction of newer standards such as mini PCIe and NVMe which offer much faster speeds, SATA is slowly in the process of being phased out as the standard connector point, at least for solid-state drives which are the norm today. In its place, NVMe and PCIe are being heralded as the worthy successors, and while we agree on that, it is difficult to arrive at a conclusion on which standard is the faster or more convenient one. Today, we’ll be looking at the properties of PCIe and NVMe and what makes them different. PCIe Standard PCIe stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect Express. It is a highly diverse slot that not only allows for the connection of mass storage devices but also for other internal devices of a computer. Almost every motherboard manufacturer has at least one PCIe slot on their motherb
