Samsung EVO vs QVO

In a never ending quest to improve storage performance and at the same time increasing capacity, Samsung have introduced their QVO SSD which uses a new technology to increase density of information stored whilst coming in at a cheaper price point than the popular TLC based SSDs. The questions is, how do they perform in real life and which one should you go for?

Here I do a brief history of SSD technology and a comparison between the Samsung EVO and QVO drives.

Samsung has pretty much been the go to option for SSDs but how does it’s new QVO drive perform? I’ll be doing some testing including large file copy and multiple small files copy. Which one is the best for gaming and which for every day usage? Hopefully this video will answer that question and help you decide which is better for your own personal usage.

Elgato Launches New Ring Light

Elgato, the leading provider of hardware and software for content creators, today announced the launch of Elgato Ring Light, a new premium edge-lit LED panel that provides high-quality illumination without glare for demanding content creators. With a 17-inch diameter and two diffusion layers, Ring Light emits a uniform circular glow with two diffusion layers that evenly encapsulates facial contours, eliminates shadows, and flatters the skin. Wi-Fi-enabled for easy control through a companion app for iPhone, Android, Mac, or Windows PC, Ring Light is the latest addition to Elgato’s suite of professional home studio products, including Stream Deck, Wave Microphones, and Green Screen. Whether you’re a seasoned creator, or just starting out, Elgato Ring Light illuminates you and your content.

Joining the acclaimed Key Light and Key Light Air, Ring Light features the same high-quality, flicker-free OSRAM LED technology that has helped creators easily produce professional-looking content. An ultra-bright output of 2,500 lumens can be dimmed in increments of one percent, so you can adapt your lighting to suit any environment, while a colour temperature range of 2,900 – 7,000 K enables you to get the look you want without having to attach external colour filters. Most notably, Elgato’s iconic edge-lit architecture and multi-layer diffusion technology enable you to work without breaking a sweat or straining your eyes.

Ring Light can be controlled over Wi-Fi using the free Control Centre app on a PC or phone, with support for Elgato Stream Deck unlocking one-touch tactile control via LCD keys that can be customized to streamline your entire A/V setup. Ring Light can also be controlled manually, with two easily accessible onboard buttons that allow you to set brightness and colour temperature when your computer or phone is not on hand.

A telescopic pole and 3D swivel mount allow you to adjust the height and beam angle of Ring Light, while a camera ball mount with a 1/4-inch screw lets you attach your camera or a mount for your phone (such as Elgato Phone Grip – sold separately). Whichever way you choose to shoot, Ring Light allows for independent adjustment of the camera’s angle, separate from the lighting angle, to create the perfect shot for your video or stream. A padded desk clamp keeps Ring Light secure while saving space, and compatibility with Multi Mount, Elgato’s modular rigging system, opens up a host of customizable mounting options.

With the addition of Ring Light to its growing range of accessible studio lighting solutions, Elgato is empowering even more content creators to become masters of illumination.

The Elgato Ring Light is available to buy from Amazon
