The Aorus Gen4 7000s Prem. SSD comes with a heatsink as bulky as its name on May 25, 2021, 6:58
In a nutshell: PCIe 4.0 SSDs currently offer the bleeding edge in terms of consumer storage, though thermals can often become a concern under consistent, heavy loads. Gigabyte aims to address this issue with the new Aorus Gen4 7000s Prem. SSD, which features a tall and chunky nanocarbon coated heatsink called Thermal Guard Xtreme. Gigabyte claims this solution enables the drive to deliver peak performance with no throttling, noting consistent max sequential reads for hours on end.
Gigabyte s new Aorus m.2 SSD is likely going to be a tight fit on even the most enthusiast-level motherboards considering that it measures 92 x 23.5 x 44.7 mm (l x w x h), thanks to the included heatsink. The drive also has some limitations in terms of digital space - at least initially - as it only comes in 1TB and 2TB versions.
Oil and Gas Industry Affected Negatively Owing to Declining Economy
COVID-19 has drastically affected the oil and gas industry. The major oil-producing countries were affected by the falling global economy and reducing demand for oil. The construction of oil storage terminal and related upgrades are expected to be postponed due to industrial slow down. After the upliftment of lockdown, it is expected that the demand for oil will start to rise as the manufacturing bases will start operating.
Market Segmentation
Based on type, the market for oil storage terminal is segmented into strategic reserve and commercial reserve. The commercial reserves segment dominated the market due to their growing demand. The past few years have experienced a most of the terminals to be used specifically for the purpose of commercial crude oil boosting its demand.

Decarbonisation ambitions: Sultanate’s innovation-driven start-up 44.01 to collaborate with Climeworks of Switzerland in exploring carbon capture utilising geological formations in the Sultanate
Switzerland-based Climeworks, a global leader in direct air carbon capture, has announced a partnership with Omani decarbonisation start-up 44.01 to harness the potential of the Sultanate’s unique geology to remove carbon dioxide – the greenhouse gas chiefly responsible for global warming and climate change.
44.01, set up by pioneering Omani innovator and environmentalist Talal Hasan, is already collaborating with Climeworks in the delivery of a first-ever project: the construction of a demo-scale direct air carbon capture (DAC) plant at Khazaen Economic City n
Dive Brief:
Thermal energy storage firm Malta Inc. and utility Duke Energy will partner on a study of the viability and benefits of converting retiring coal units to long-duration energy storage systems using Malta s pumped heat technology.
Malta s pumped heat storage technology captures energy directly from a power plant or grid and stores it as heat in molten salt or as cold in a solution similar to antifreeze. That energy can then be used to power a heat engine to send electricity back to the grid.
The year-long study, backed by the U.S. Department of Energy, will include a conceptual engineering study to see how the Malta technology could be integrated at one of six retiring coal plants in North Carolina, followed by a technology plan for a specific site. The study will also look at the socioeconomic benefits of the installation, including job retention, local economic impacts and environmental benefits.
