An intergalactic radar, in fact, because this is a hospital management game - inspaaaaace!- coming later this year. It’s from a Brighton-based indie studio called Brightrock Games, and it sort of looks like Theme Hospital with a space skin, orStartopiawith a hospital sim....

That’s because the SSD offers excellent performance while working within the confines of the SATA interface, with straightforward TLC NAND flash and a DRAM-equipped design that ensures strong sustained performance - something lacking in QLC DRAM-less designs. While NVMe drives offer better performance, not every computer has a free NVMe slot - or indeed, any NVMe slots at all....
