I don’t mention these utilities in my reviews unless they make a meaningful difference in performance. I’m mentioning HP’s Command Center specifically because I don’t want to leave anyone with the impression that this is a slow laptop. It’s not — you just need to make judicious use of the utility.

Samsung Announces 870 EVO SSDs with 128-Layer TLC Flash
The only strange thing about the 870 EVO is its rather high suggested pricing; you can find Samsung's 860 EVO drives for much cheaper than the 870 EVO's prices. However, the 860 EVO lineup has become cheaper over the years, so perhaps we will see the same thing with the 870 EVO. … [Read more...] about Samsung Announces 870 EVO SSDs with 128-Layer TLC Flash
