Let’s start this article off by clearing a few things up.  This is not a sponsored article and I have had no contact with the companies of which will be included.  Next up… this is without a doubt the first time in a long time I have been inspired to write an article just because.  If I can save you …

As much as we would like to be there, we will miss this one but that doesn’t mean that you have to if you are in Las Vegas this week.  KIOXIA will be showing off their goods at HPE Discover 2023 to include PCIe 5.0 SSDs and the industry’s first lineup of Enterprise and Datacenter Standard Form Factor (EDSFF) E3.S …

Several weeks ago, Lexar sent us their biggest and brightest 2TB Lexar Professional Gold CFExpress B Card and, well, it has found a permanent home in my Canon EOS R5 mirrorless digital full frame.  That wasn’t an easy feat considering I had relied solely on the ProGrade Cobalt 650GB card since its release 2 1/2 years ago, but this Lexar …

At least to me, it’s rather amazing how one of the most progressive inventions historically has been overlooked.  It is not electricity.  It is not the light bulb and it isn’t the telephone but you can bet that it plays a massive role within each in every moment of our lives.  It is NAND flash and NAND was invented by …

Samsung has recently introduced a new card in their flash lineup which should be a very comfortable entry into the media world.  It is the Samsung Pro Plus microSDXC and it is available in 128, 256 and 512GB capacities with and without the included card reader. This card also comes with a 10-year warranty. Its performance specs are rather impressive …

In late 2020, Canon introduced the EOS R5 mirrorless camera and that set off a frenzy of companies rushing to market the latest and greatest in CF Express Type B memory cards.  The sheer speed of CF Express B moved digital media into a new realm where photographers and videographers could capture moments that were once impossible.  Don’t get me …

Less than two weeks ago, we posted a report on the ProGrade Digital 1TB 1700 Gold and 325GB 1700 Cobalt CFexpress B Cards, along with their Thunderbolt 3 CFexpress Card Reader. We were so impressed we just had to do it again.  Admittedly, we were floored by the Cobalt 1700 speeds while maintaining anything but what could be considered the …

One of my favorite pastimes is building computers.  It can be frustrating at times.  And yes, I don’t remember a single build taking less than a weekend to find tune things. My wife will tell you that the world stops when I start the build.  If something goes wrong, good luck pulling me away…and 2am?  I get my second wind …

This week in Seoul, South Korea, Intel held somewhat of an unusual event.  Right smack dab in the middle of Samsung’s turf, Intel took the time to make some very key announcements in the storage industry by demonstrating ‘proof of concept’ and future releases to a very limited group of global media.  For those having been involved with Intel for …

Teton Glacier.  We can probably all agree that this is one of the coolest product code names to date.  This code name applies to the subject of our report today which is the 512GB version of the Intel Optane Memory H10 with Solid State Storage.  To look at, this SSD is unique in that, although its mechanism of operation is …
