Do players want SSDs? Inside their PCs, actually, that’s one of many best suggestions for a speedier pc. What about transportable storage? Corsair thinks they do, and it’s displaying off a brand new line of USB4-powered transportable SSDs at CES.
The brand new EX400U sequence is rather more easy and streamlined than earlier Corsair designs, trying form of like a tiny tin of mints, or possibly much less charitably a shrunken-down Mac Mini. That design language is likely to be a bit intentional…as a result of these drives are MagSafe suitable. They’ll stick with the again of your iPhone. The case is a hair over 64mm extensive (only a bit wider than a Magsafe charger) and 12mm thick.

The one apparent exterior options are the singular USB-C port (USB 4 and in addition suitable with Thunderbolt 4) and emblem on high. The press launch says that these drives can switch knowledge at as much as 4000MB/s learn and 3600MB/s write — which ought to handily beat just about any older exterior drive, and compete with different USB4 drives if in case you have the obtainable {hardware}.
The EX400U will value $140 for 1TB, $200 for 2TB, and a whopping $360 for 4TB. They’re scheduled to launch on January twenty third.
Corsair Xeneon Edge
You’ll all the time want storage, however as a multi-monitor addict, I confess my eye was caught by the Xeneon Edge. It’s a compact 14.5-inch touchscreen, extraordinarily horizontal with a 2560×720 decision, designed for widgets and interactive controls. We noticed an identical extra conservative tackle this with the iCue Nexus Companion display screen, however this one is, properly, so much greater.

The newer model of the display screen is nearer to a full-on monitor, working over USB-C DP-Alt mode or HDMI. So there’s no cause you couldn’t stick movies or different customary info from a PC (or every other supply) on the show. It’s additionally much more versatile, with an choice to mount it horizontally, vertically, and even rather than a 360mm radiator in a PC case.
Which case has a transparent view of the bottom of a triple-fan mount, with out shrouds or filters? Shut up, it’s cool! Consider all of the RGB you’ll be able to showcase whereas your PC melts as a result of it doesn’t have sufficient cooling!
The Xeneon Edge is scheduled to go on sale someday within the second quarter of the yr (earlier than July, in case you don’t communicate company lingo). There’s no value obtainable but, however the iCue Nexus Companion initially bought for $100, and it was solely 5 inches diagonally. So I feel you may make an honest guess.
