Less than a week ago Canon introduced their newest camera lineup which was highlighted by the Canon EOS mirror-less R5 Digital camera.  To anyone who is familiar with cameras, this may be the release of the decade.  It is a 45 megapixel camera that will shoot video as large as 8K/30 or 4K/120 with RAW.  Myself, I am moving up …

It isn’t too often that we’re reviewing SATA 3 SSDs these days.  The reason of course is that that bigger and better gets all the attention.  Data transfer speeds of 550MB/s are all to often forgotten when PCIe 4×4 is now moving data at just under 10x that.  Similarly, capacities up to 2TB are fairly common but we have really …

Oh my.  Having been involved in the flash industry since 2007, I can honestly say I never thought I would have in my hands what I have today….an 8TB external SSD that is powered by only its Thunderbolt 3 data cable  and is 4″ long by 1.75″ wide by 1/2 thick.  It can move data at speeds up to 2.7GB/s.  …

This report examines the Crucial P5 NVMe SSD which has just been released in the past month or so.  It is a bit of an odd duck as we are seeing PCIe 3 SSDs settle with the latest and greatest in PCIe 4.0 entering the market. Historically, Crucial has been known to sit in the weeds with their SSD releases, …

A few weeks back, we did a review on the ADATA Swordfish NVMe, a new release SSD that was intended as a value solution for the every day PC user, possibly transitioning to the SSD.  That SSD was accredited with our Top Value award as it provided decent performance at a low price, and with a 5-year limited warranty to …

It is not often that a new SSD company makes such an impact in today’s technology world, especially when it comes to SSDs. Sabrent has.  As much as SSD companies have come and gone, those that own the fabs have had the biggest advantage as they not only control flash pricing, but also, its availability.  To clarify, a fab is …

Every now and then we run across an SSD that makes us smile.  It is usually something that was received and didn’t get looked at right away and something that really opens our eyes when we finally get it on the test bench.  With respect to PCIe 3.0 M.2 SSDs, it would have to be something that gives the Samsung …

I find it a bit amusing that some 13 years since our first SSD review, flash technology is still at a point that we are trying to move the consumer from hard drive to SSD.  Knowing what we know about the difference between the two, It simply doesn’t make sense to me that PCs, especially laptops, are still selling with …

It is always great to bring something to the forefront that is just a bit different.  Today, we are taking a quick look at a product that very well may be a technology break through…that has been made possible by SMI.  The product is the newest Accell Driver-Less USB-C 4K Docking Station and its existence has been made possible by …

So we are going to take a look at a product today that has been out for some time.  I have actually had this in my hands for several months and never reviewed it as my first provided sample wasn’t a review sample.  The reason I wanted to review it today is because it is a decent example of portable …
