There seems to be much confusion with respect to USB speeds these days, and it’s all the result of the newest USB 3.2 Gen 2 design.  The standard for the newest USB release is USB 3.2 Gen 2 which will attain data transfer speed of 10Gbps (1GB/s) with newer compatible systems.  A step up from that is USB 3.2 Gen …

Recommend a DRAM-less SSD on any website forum or product purchase site and you have just committed storage suicide.  There is a ‘cancel-culture’ that will hunt you down and ensure that you never post without their jumping in ever again.  People who have never had a DRAM-less SSD in their hand will hound you endlessly because, well, Linus said not …

It is a bit amusing how we might be speaking of the merits and oversights of a new product in the tech industry, and only a few days later something very similar turns up.  In this case it has to do exactly with this latest product to hit our Test Bench, the WD_Black D50 1TB SSD Gaming Dock where, a …

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 …
