2014 is drawing to a close, and today we have a review of ROCCAT’s flagship mechanical keyboard, the Ryos MK Pro. It was launched earlier this year and has very interesting specifications, along with a hefty price tag. Can it still compete in 2015? We will find out in this capsule review.
Within each motherboard manufacturer, there is typically a design team for each market segment they are targeting, be that server, channel or gaming. Overclocking is slightly different as most manufacturers have an extreme overclocker or two directly employed to focus on the engineering and put their name to the product. Nick Shih, former world #1, is the overclocker behind ASRock’s OC range and the newest member of this family, the ASRock X99 OC Formula, bears his signature. This is the board for our review today.

QNAP has focused on Intel’s Bay Trail platform for this generation of NAS units (compared to Synology’s efforts with Intel Rangeley). While the choice made sense for the prosumer-targeted TS-x51 series, we were a bit surprised to see the TS-x53 Pro series (targeting business users in the higher level market segment) also use the same Bay Trail platform. Having already looked at the Rangeley-based Synology DS1815+ and the Haswell-based Asustor AS7008T, it is now time to see how QNAP’s Bay Trail-based 8-bay TS-853 Pro performs in our evaluation.
