It’s not often that we do product comparisons in an SSD review, but it just may be unavoidable in this case.  The compared product is a Thunderbolt 3 SSD I have had in my pocket for a few years now.  It is my go-to for portable storage and is perhaps the most perfect cut of a single piece of aluminum …

Perhaps one of the most overlooked benefits of the newest Type-C USB 3.1 Gen 2 connector is that it allows us to create smaller devices.  We see it every day in the latest and greatest smartphone on our side, but we most likely overlook other possibilities, such as portable storage.  And why not as a M.2,  SSD weighs a mere …

In case you missed it, there has been a storm in the camera industry as of late.  As much as I would like to say it’s the newest Canon EOS R5 camera I have in hand, it’s not.  It is the controversy surrounding this R5 video capabilities and the correlation of internal temperatures and a point where the camera will …

It is much too easy in the storage world to get caught up in the hype of increased performance as we move from 550MB/s at SATA 3 all the way up to 5GB/s and higher with the newest NVMe PCIe 4 SSDs.  Let’s face it; 5GB/s in a SSD the size of a stick of gum is pretty amazing, especially …

It isn’t too often that we’re reviewing SATA 3 SSDs these days.  The reason of course is that that bigger and better gets all the attention.  Data transfer speeds of 550MB/s are all to often forgotten when PCIe 4×4 is now moving data at just under 10x that.  Similarly, capacities up to 2TB are fairly common but we have really …

It is not often that a new SSD company makes such an impact in today’s technology world, especially when it comes to SSDs. Sabrent has.  As much as SSD companies have come and gone, those that own the fabs have had the biggest advantage as they not only control flash pricing, but also, its availability.  To clarify, a fab is …

So we are going to take a look at a product today that has been out for some time.  I have actually had this in my hands for several months and never reviewed it as my first provided sample wasn’t a review sample.  The reason I wanted to review it today is because it is a decent example of portable …

I am somewhat of a camera buff.  I love photography and I carry a Canon 5D Mk IV, that even I will admit is much to far ahead of my skill set.  My wife.  Well, she used to take incredible pleasure in reminding me how many all inclusive vacations this camera cost.  That was until I started shooting family weddings. …
