A few weeks back, we did a review on the ADATA Swordfish NVMe, a new release SSD that was intended as a value solution for the every day PC user, possibly transitioning to the SSD.  That SSD was accredited with our Top Value award as it provided decent performance at a low price, and with a 5-year limited warranty to …

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 …

Every now and then we run across an SSD that makes us smile.  It is usually something that was received and didn’t get looked at right away and something that really opens our eyes when we finally get it on the test bench.  With respect to PCIe 3.0 M.2 SSDs, it would have to be something that gives the Samsung …

I find it a bit amusing that some 13 years since our first SSD review, flash technology is still at a point that we are trying to move the consumer from hard drive to SSD.  Knowing what we know about the difference between the two, It simply doesn’t make sense to me that PCs, especially laptops, are still selling with …

There is no question that, unless there is a specific task requirement for a new SSD, the consumer looks at price.  It’s no different than any other product really where a quality product and low price will always be a top seller.  In the electronic world, SSDs haven’t really gained the notoriety that the hard drive has, which is unfortunate. …

If anyone can say anything about Sabrent, it’s that they have hit the SSD scene with a punch.  Just a few weeks ago, we reviewed their top performing Sabrent Rocket PCIe 4.o SSD which topped out at 5GB/s data throughput and over 700k IOPS. Today, we are reviewing the first publicly available 4TB M.2 SSD in the industry.  Yes.  You …

In our hands today is one of the few PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSDs available in the consumer flash industry. Surprisingly, its brand name is that of a relatively new company (at least when it comes to flash);  Sabrent.  PCIe 4.0 is the latest and greatest bringing data transfer speeds 5GB/s, and as media professionals know, these speeds  are everything …

On the test bench today is the XPG Spectrix S40G M.2 NVMe RGB SSD.  RGB has become very popular in the last few years and the fact that this SSDs RGB package can be configured with XPG’s own software package is a bonus, as well as its configuration being part and parcel with some motherboards. As a storage reviewer, however, …

Whats probably the most amusing, and most unusual characteristic in our review of our second PCIe 4.0 SSD today is the fact that the only way you are going to be running these kind of SSD speeds anytime soon is with an AMD system.  It’s not often that we ever catch Intel with its pants down but, at least in …

It has been a few years now, but thinking back I am sure there are those that remember the hard drive and all that went along with it.  Slow start times, heat, noise and an all around much slower PC experience, especially for those that work in media.  The largest jump we have seen in storage is without a doubt …
