Testing the inexpensive 1TB Digma Meta M6E, Meta P21 and Meta S69 SSDs

The Digma Meta drives presented today are typical representatives of the mid-range NVMe SSD with PCIe Gen4 support. Although their configuration is quite predictable, you shouldn't place too much hope: the controller is known in advance, but what kind of memory is used is not. It is only known that it is TLC, but its characteristics can vary greatly. In addition, the interaction of the memory with the controller depends on the firmware, which can be updated several times during the life of the device.

Afox B760D4-MA-V2 Motherboard Review on Intel B760 Chipset

The Afox B760D4-MA-V2 motherboard is designed for the most unpretentious users, and is perfect for assembling budget office PCs. This solution is suitable for those who do not need powerful hardware and a wide range of ports and slots, but appreciate the presence of minimal support for modern peripherals. The B760 chipset and power supply system indicate that the board is designed for entry-level and mid-range processors. An important point is DDR4 support: modules of this memory are still more affordable, and the increased capacity and bandwidth of DDR5 will not be in demand in such systems. At the time of publication, this model cost about 7.5 thousand rubles in Russian retail, which places it in the budget segment.
