We’de like to say it’s been a long week evaluating and reporting on ProGrade Digitals newest 4.0 gear but, truth be told,  it is just nice to have this entire package in-hand to present it as it should be.  Our first report spoke to the PG 20 Pro Thunderbolt 4 Hub where we also looked at both accompanying CFExpress A …

If I could ask a company to put the complete package of storage products together, it would be exactly what ProGrade Digital has done.  It starts with a ProHub by which an assortment of different readers could connect by USB-C for high speed.  ProGrade Digital did just that with their PG20 Pro Hub and infused this with the latest in …

ProGrade Digital has upped the ante when it comes to CFExpress Cards and their latest offerings reach an incredible data transfer speed of over 3500MB/s with 1500MB/s sustained write speeds.  This all relies on the newest USB 4.0 standard and they have put together a complete package to include PG20 Pro Hub and CFExpress A/B card Readers which we reviewed …

So… We seem to have a bunch of new high-end gear in hand and that is thanks to ProGrade Digital who sent over just a bit more than we expected.  If you are a camera or video professional, or enthusiast as I happen to be, finding this on the doorstep is simply Christmas.  Everything is Thunderbolt 4/USB 4 in some …

Truth be told, this is not the fault of motherboard manufacturers, nor is it that of SSD makers.  It is an issue with Intel Ultra Series 200 CPU’s that some might believe would have been picked up through initial Z890 motherboard reviews. Our testing has identified two concerns with these motherboards. The first becomes evident when one tests a PCIe …

If you check out our site regularly, you might notice that we are starting somewhat of a ProGrade review kick in the week before Computex 2025.  It’s no coincidence as one day we awoke to find the below stack of goods on our doorstep… all Thunderbolt 4 or USB 4.0 related and all from ProGrade Digital. All fast storage stuff. …

As a wildlife photographer, I can tell you that the most frustrating thing has always been how camera companies lag behind.  It has to with media transfer and manipulation. Storage… and more specifically… flash storage has moved forward rapidly but camera companies haven’t kept up.  I just can’t bear it and neither can Grey Eyes here. The storage speed of …

Perhaps one of the most annoying things to me is when technology moves up a step but nobody is really ready for it.  Take the step from PCIe 4.0 to PCIe 5.0 for instance.  After all, who wouldn’t benefit from data transfer jumping from 7GB/s to 14GB/s right?  And it is not like there isn’t any warning well ahead of …

There is a simple rule with flash technology, more commonly known as SSD storage; everything must go faster. It has always been the same in the progression of PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express), USB (Universal Serial Bus) or ThunderBolt.  Let’s keep it real simple.  PCIe speaks to your computers internal storage while USB and Thunderbolt speak to external storage.  Way …

Anyone who follows TSSDR knows that we rarely spend time on a review of something so common as a M.2 external enclosure.  Have I ever done one?  I have been trying to find just right rights words for my discovery.  Indispensable.  Crucial. (No…the adjective not the company) Critical. Key. Vital.  I am sure you get where I am going.  I …
