After yesterday's frenzy of reviews on the new AMD AM3 processors, we have one more on the Phenom II X3 720 (see the OCC review here). Seagate has been experiencing a bit of problems with its hard drives failing due to firmware issues and our roundup includes some more information on the problems and solutions. We also have a review on the Synology DS209+ 2-bay NAS device. Our roundup turned up another look at Thermaltake's Toughpower W1032RU 1000W power supply (also reviewed by OCC here). There's plenty more to read about today by checking out the links below.
