We have something a little special in our labs today, a new limited edition power supply from Seasonic, called ‘SAKURA'. For those of you who don't know, Sakura means ‘cherry blossom' – the national flower of Japan. This supply won't be released globally, just in Japan, parts of Asia and to the US audience via Micro Center. As of today there are no plans to release it in Europe. This power supply is fully modular, 80 Plus Gold certified and comes with a 12 year warranty.

As we can see by the image above, Seasonic have opted for a gentle pink accenting to the white unit, with a cherry blossom on display on certain sides of the case design. This unit is basically an updated Vertex GX-1000 with 12V-2×6 support.

In the words of Seasonic themselves, this unit is ‘carefully curated for a nurturing and spring-like ambiance, we've chosen a warm pink color palette. This hue, combined with a wave-patterned base, evokes a sense of renewal. The rear side of both the PSU and the PC is intricately designed with pink cutouts, enhancing the overall aesthetic and creating a harmonious visual experience.'
