Another hike has been implemented, which makes buying SSDs even more difficult than ever. Samsung and Kingston Increase Price of All SSD Products by Around 10%, Marking Another Significant Price Hike When Prices are Unusually High Remember the Micro Center shelves, which were fully stacked by the high-end SSDs selling for thousands of dollars? Yeah, they are about to get even more expensive. This thing isn't stopping anytime soon and we don't know how long this will continue, as at hundreds of dollars for 1 TB of SSD storage, it is becoming super difficult to build a budget gaming PC.

Kingston has introduced the IronKey Locker+ 50 G2, a new hardware‑encrypted USB flash drive aimed at users who need stronger protection for portable data. The LP50 G2 uses FIPS 197‑certified, XTS‑mode AES‑256 hardware encryption and includes safeguards against BadUSB exploits and brute‑force password attacks.

The drive supports both Admin and User profiles, with password options split between a traditional 6-to-16-character complex mode and a 10-to-64-character passphrase mode. Kingston has added quality‑of‑life features such as an optional password‑reveal toggle, a virtual keyboard to mitigate keyloggers, and an anti‑fingerprint metal casing designed to resist wear. Incorrect password attempts are tightly controlled: ten consecutive User failures lock the profile, while ten incorrect Admin attempts trigger a crypto‑erase.

The LP50 G2 requires no software installation and works with both Windows and macOS systems. Kingston says the launch completes its transition to an all‑XTS‑AES‑256 IronKey lineup, with the company also highlighting its existing FIPS 140‑3 Level 3‑validated models for higher‑security environments.

Kingston will offer the IronKey Locker+ 50 G2 in capacities from 32GB to 256GB, backed by a five‑year warranty.

Higher memory speeds are finally possible on high capacity DDR5 configuration, as demonstrated by ASRock on its Z890I Nova WiFi. ASRock Demonstrates CQDIMM Support With 256 GB DDR5-7400 Memory Configuration on Z890I Nova WiFi R2.0 Reaching higher memory speeds becomes difficult as you increase the memory capacity. While most users don't have a problem reaching 7000 MT/s or much higher on 32 GB or even 64 GB DDR5 memory kits, doing the same with a high capacity RAM kits, such as 256 GB, becomes incredibly difficult. This problem arises due to signal noise and jitter, which makes high frequencies unstable […]
