• Western Digital's new Green SN350 SSD is a DRAMless QLC budget model.  Don't buy it.  (Serve the Home)
  
  There are two reasonable ways to make SSDs cheaper: Use slower but denser QLC flash, or leave out the DRAM buffer and rely on the host computer and pseudo-SLC flash to handle that.  Either option is reasonable for the average consumer workload.
  
  If you do both, though, the results are going to suck.  At $86 for the 1TB model you are only saving $12 over the much better SN570 and it's just not worth it.

  Not clear if this is a sign of better things to come or just because the RX 6500 XT kind of sucks. 
  
  
  
• The Elegoo Jupiter Resin Printer is a large volume high-resolution printer that doesn't exist yet.  (Tom's Hardware)
  
  And may irradiate you.
