PCIe Articles

When it comes to technology, the promise of something better is always just around the corner. In the world of storage, that next big leap is PCIe Gen 6 SSDs. With speeds projected to double that of PCIe Gen 5, it’s hard not to wonder: should you hold out for PCIe Gen 6, or is now the time to invest in current-generation SSDs? Let’s break it down. What Is PCIe Gen 6? PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) is the high-speed interface that allows your SSD, GPU, and other peripherals to c

Today, we're diving deep into the heart of your computer's architecture: expansion slots. Specifically, we'll explore the tried-and-true PCI/PCIe slots and the exciting modern alternatives that are shaking up the scene. So to start - ISA slots! (Industry Standard Architecture) ISA was (and still is I suppose) a 16 bit bus from the IBM PC-AT computer age. Originally referred to as the PC bus (8-bit) or AT bus (16-bit), it was also named I/O Channel by IBM. The ISA term was coined as a retronym by

The ACME MegaPAC is now available with Projected Capacitive Touch screens. Single, dual and triple screen workstations are available, and whichever system suits your needs, all screens support multi-touch input. Almost everyone today is using touch-enabled mobile devices, tablet devices, or laptops on a daily basis. Mu

PCIe Lanes explained An introduction PCI Express, PCIe, or Peripheral Component Interconnect Express, can be a somewhat complicated computer specification. When your computer first boots, PCIe is what determines the devices that are attached or plugged into the motherboard. It identifies the links between each device, creates a traffic map, and negotiates the width of each link. This identification of devices and connections uses the same protocol as PCI, so no changes were required when changin
