Welcome to Week Three of TSSDR’s Grand Birthday SSD Giveaway Celebration and we are going to mix things up a bit for this one! This week, TSSDR has teamed up with Crucial to give away one of the smallest, highest capacity and most powerful storage devices on the planet, a Crucial M4 256GB mSATA SSD.  Weighing in at only 7 …

Well it seems that Week 2 of our Grand Birthday SSD Giveaway Celebration may be as big as the first…and then some. This week, TSSDR has teamed up with Corsair to draw, not one but, two newly released Corsair Neutron 240GB SSDs as part of our SSD Giveaway event and it gets even better as one is the GTX release!  …

This week marks the second anniversary of The SSD Review and we wanted to find a way to celebrate and thought giving away a few SSDs might be a good idea. Were we in for a shock?  The support we received in response to our request for ‘an SSD or two’ has been overwhelming and we think that, by the …

Samsung’s newest SSD release is the 990EVO, a PCIe 5.0 SSD that runs at the lower end of PCIe 4.0 speeds.  We have been running it through our test regimen for the last week or so and I have to say this SSD is a bit of an odd duck.  It is forwards and backwards compatible as one might expect …

I am going to date myself acknowledging that I used to watch Star Trek as a child but can safely say that I was never a Star Trek fanatic.  Still, after testing this new Samsung 990 Pro 4TB NVMe M.2 SSD over the last week, Star Trek and far too many ‘warp speed’ quotes came to mind.  The 990 Pro …

One of the oldest names in the flash business is Micron/Crucial and our own relationship with them goes way back to 2010.  Back then, we were one of the first to review their Crucial C300 RealSSD in a 64GB capacity, with lightning fast speeds of  357MB/s read and 76MB/s write, and a price of $139.99… for a 64GB SSD.
