The AI infrastructure market is not moving in a single direction; it is separating into two distinct worlds. On one side are frontier training clusters, built to develop foundation models at a massive scale, tightly coupled to proprietary fabrics and a narrow set of accelerators. The other is the rapidly expanding reality of enterprise inference,

HPE introduced the Alletra Storage MP X10000 platform in late November 2024 as the first disaggregated, all-flash, scale-out storage system designed to unify modern workloads under a single architecture. The design centers on a common hardware foundation managed entirely through the GreenLake (formerly HPE GreenLake) cloud platform, delivering high-performance object storage, flexible scaling, and integrated

The Micron 3610 SSD targets the evolving needs of mainstream computing and is widely positioned as one of the first PCIe Gen5 client SSDs built on QLC NAND. By pairing Micron’s latest 9th-generation (G9) QLC with a DRAMless, power-conscious design, the 3610 aims to bridge the gap between notebook efficiency and the burst performance expected

The Dell Pro Rugged 10 and 12 tablets are engineered for professionals in the most demanding environments, from construction sites to industrial floors, where standard hardware cannot withstand the rigors. Powered by the latest Intel Core Ultra “Lunar Lake” Series 2 processors, these tablets are among the first fully rugged slates to feature a built-in

Ubiquiti continues to expand its high-performance switching portfolio with the Pro XG lineup. It’s designed around 10GbE copper connectivity for environments that require higher access-layer bandwidth without moving directly to fiber or SFP+. The Pro XG series targets use cases such as next-generation WiFi access points, high-speed workstations, and direct-attached storage scenarios where multi-gig or

AMD continues to expand its Ryzen 9000 series family with the introduction of the Ryzen 7 9850X3D. It’s an 8-core, 16-thread processor designed to build on the strengths of AMD’s earlier X3D offerings. We received a Ryzen 7 9850X3D sample in the lab and ran a comprehensive set of benchmarks to compare it with the

After a long wait, the NVIDIA DGX Spark was released last year, with the hope of fostering a new wave of AI engineers and researchers. At StorageReview, we’ve received multiple DGX Spark systems from various partners for evaluation, and we’re developing some exciting cluster projects. However, the thermal and power characteristics across these different implementations

Currently priced at $799 on the Ubiquiti website, the UNAS Pro 8 is a 2U rackmount NAS designed for higher-capacity file storage and shared workloads, featuring eight 2.5/3.5-inch drive bays alongside two M.2 NVMe SSD slots for cache acceleration. This configuration targets environments that need increased throughput and lower latency while maintaining a compact rack

We recently received Supermicro’s dual-socket Turin-based A+ Server AS-2126HS-TN for review. It’s a 2U platform designed to support extremely high-core-count workloads and to provide flexible PCIe expansion. Built around and supporting dual AMD EPYC 9005 (Turin) and 9004 (Genoa) series processors, the system targets a broad range of enterprise and data center use cases, including
