We have reviewed several security-positioned portable SSDs over the years and one of the most common things we get is that companies are awaiting their FIPS certification.  This doesn’t speak negative to the product being reviewed whatsoever but, when we get a truly certified product in hand, it is nice.  Today, we are looking at the Secure Data SecureDrive KP …

A rather interesting entry into the SSD world by KIOXIA as of late has many businesses watching closely.  The KIOXIA FL6 enters the same space as both the Samsung Z-NAND and Intel Optane SSDs and many believe the KIOXIA entry may make quite the impression with respect to comparable pricing.  Rather unique is the fact that the FL6 is KIOXIA’s …

It isn’t often that we receive review samples of the same product from both the chip and product manufacturers within days, but such is the case with this report.  In this instance, it is a very good thing as we are reviewing the Kingston XS2000 Portable SSD and this is a permanently enclosed unit, whereas we have also received the …

We have been testing a new SSD that is about to be introduced by XPG and something about this SSD caught our eye.  It is in the XPG marketing pitch actually. A highlight of this marketing states that the XPG GAMMIX S70 Blade NVMe Gen 4 SSD is ‘Perfect for Compact and Thin Devices’ and that this SSD is ‘Cool …

Something has occurred in the laptop industry that should make the consumer angry.  We are being sold PCIe 4.0 laptops and ultrabooks that aren’t truly PCIe 4.0.  Don’t get me wrong.  You may be considering a purchase, or have purchased a brand new Ryzen 5 or Intel Tiger Lake that is just that but you have to ask… Have I …

It hasn’t been that long now since the introduction of CF Express Type B cards have pushed storage performance to 1750MB/s in the media industry. Media professionals understand that storage speeds are everything; the key thought being that continuous video or photography can only be accomplished with high speed storage concurrent to their activity.  Any DSLR owner knows EXACTLY what …

It is no secret that we have been fans of Lexar for several years and, for the most part, their products are always found in our media work.  I love the simplicity, performance and calibre of their products plain and simple.  That’s why we simply had to reach out when Lexar introduced their newest CFExpress USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Card …

Much has changed in PC sales through the years, yet much is the same.  Things can be unpredictable.  Looking back, there have been instances of manufacturers selling their own brand laptops and ultra books equipped with competitors SSDs as storage, simply to maximize sales of their own higher cost…and higher performing SSDs. In fact, if you think you are getting …

Well, Sabrent seems to have pulled off something that we don’t expect to see any other manufacturer do anytime soon.  Not Samsung.  Not Crucial.  Not Intel, Toshiba, Lexar, Team Group, Transcend, Mushkin, XPG, Corsair, WD, Seagate, ADATA, Corsair and not Silicon Power.  Sabrent has thrown down the gauntlet and we want all to know that we are willing to accept …

Data compromise through hacking, malware and ransomware worldwide has become the most lucrative occupation.  Threat actors  can attack data systems and PCs  in an instant with proven total anonymity, wreaking havoc at the personal, business and corporate level with little chance of ever being caught.  We might be so bold as to say that each and every one of us …
