I’ve reviewed more than a few Transcend storage devices already from an internal SSD with the SSD230S to an external one with the 25C3N HDD, I even tore some apart to check the internals of the Storejets like the 25H3.

Hopefully, that will not change with the one we have today, which is the Transcend ESD220C, a promising fast and compact external storage device. MY EARLY BREAKDOWN Pros: Decent…

These are some of the questions that lingered in my mind when I was planning for this build. I don’t have a ton of budget and I…

Luckily, I was able to find a better alternative with virtually the same specifications in the form of the Rakk Anyag Frost Micro-ATX case. Almost the same design both in…
