SSD

Kingston's back-to-school release isn't a new product. It's a full walkthrough of its consumer SSD, portable storage, and FURY gaming lineup, dressed up for the academic calendar.

Acer's new PA100 portable SSD, manufactured by BIWIN under license, tops out at USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds instead of chasing Thunderbolt numbers. The real spec worth noticing is its sub-1W idle power draw, built for everyday use tethered to a phone or thin laptop.

For World Photography Day, Kingston isn't launching new hardware. It's regrouping its full SSD and portable drive lineup, from the 14,800MB/s FURY Renegade G5 in its new 8TB size to the IP55-rated XS2000, around how demanding your actual shoot is rather than which spec sheet looks fastest.

Biwin's M560 is a PCIe 5.0 NVMe 2.0 SSD with up to 11,000 MB/s sequential reads and a single-sided M.2 2280 design, targeting gamers, content creators and AI workloads. Pricing for the Philippines hasn't been announced yet.
