NVELO Dataplex software has been examined here at TSSDR on many occasions and is the only that we are aware of that can provide nearly identical SSD specifications on a hard …

It might seem a bit odd displaying the X1 in such a fashion for our opening shot, however, this ranks high in the list of unique qualities of the Lenovo X1 Carbon. In fact, if you are like I and spend a great many hours on the road typing articles in the passenger seat of a vehicle with the X1 …

A few months back, we randomly heard three words during a passing conversation; Intel, Taylorsville, and latency. That was it; no context, no explanation and no hints. Given that we happened to be at the Flash Memory Summit, it was a safe bet that something solid state was afoot, but at the time these were just random words to file …

They already produce premium lines of business and gaming …

At the time they chose to partner with Intel, offering their own label on the chipmaker’s first gen SSDs like enterprise-oriented X25-E.
