StorageReview has been testing enterprise storage and infrastructure hardware for over 25 years. During that time, we have reviewed petabytes of data across drives, dozens of all-flash arrays, countless switches, servers, and networking gear. We have benchmarked hardware that costs more than most people’s houses. What we have never done, not once, is properly label

The PowerEdge R5715 is the second part of Dell’s SMB-focused extension to the 17th Generation PowerEdge family, starting with different priorities than its 1U sibling. Where the R4715 optimizes for compute density and core-per-rack-unit efficiency, the R5715 is built around storage capacity and I/O expandability in a 2U single-socket footprint. Readers coming from our R4715

Dell’s 17th Generation PowerEdge family is already well-established, and with the R4715 and R5715, the lineup now targets the SMB and midmarket segments more intentionally than before. Both servers are single-socket platforms built on the same 5th Generation AMD EPYC foundation as the broader 17th Gen family. They are tuned for organizations where right-sized core

Ubiquiti is expanding its edge-processing hardware lineup with the AI Dome (UVC-AI-Dome-B). The standard G-series cameras cover most general UniFi Protect deployments just fine. Still, the AI Dome targets environments that need local metadata processing without sacrificing image quality or build quality. Most notably, it handles face and license plate recognition on-device, bringing Pro-tier capabilities

Ubiquiti is adding a compelling new option to its UniFi Protect camera lineup with the G6 Pro 360 (UVC-G6-Pro-360). Rather than covering a specific zone or doorway like a standard dome camera, the G6 Pro 360 takes a fundamentally different approach by capturing the entire scene in a single 360-degree field of view. Most notably,

For the first time, end-to-end, hardware-based in-flight encryption is available across the entire Fibre Channel data path—from server to storage array. Everpure (formerly Pure Storage) is now shipping Fibre Channel-capable FlashArray systems with Emulex SecureHBA technology integrated directly into the array, completing the encrypted transport path the industry has been working toward. Future FlashArray models

As surveillance systems, enterprise WiFi deployments, and IoT infrastructure continue to evolve, network bandwidth demands are steadily increasing. Devices such as high-resolution security cameras, WiFi 7 access points, and industrial IoT sensors frequently require multi-gigabit connectivity and reliable power delivery. The UniFi Switch Flex 2.5G 8 PoE (USW-Flex-2.5G-8-PoE), available for $199.00 on the Ubiquiti Store,

Earlier this year, we set a new record by computing 314 trillion digits of Pi. The calculation ran for months on a single Dell PowerEdge R7725, pushing modern CPU and storage infrastructure to the limit while demonstrating just how far enterprise hardware has come. When the run finally finished, however, the record itself turned out

On December 15, 2025, Microsoft announced that Windows Server 2025 would finally adopt the NVMe standard natively in its storage architecture. However, NVMe storage has been a popular storage format on servers, enterprise workstations, and consumer PCs for many years, with OS compatibility built in since Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1. With this
