The inevitability of advance in flash has brought something that the world still cannot get enough of… storage.  Regardless of what you believe, there never seems to be enough space and higher resolution media would never survive on cards of only a few years back.  Micron’s latest and greatest  96-layer 3D QLC NAND is really the highlight of our review …

Want to look into the future just a bit?  The picture below shows the latest Toshiba BG4 NVMe 1TB Client SSD and it is just about the same size as an SD card.  To the left and not a competitor brand, we have the Lexar 1TB SDXC card and it reaches great speeds of 95MB/s….which is pretty much it for …

If you have been following us for awhile, you might remember our review of the Apricorn Aegis Secure Key 3 flash drive that we did back in August of 2016.  Back then, any flash drive at 480GB was something to get your hands on, much less one that would also qualify as one of the most secure flash drives worldwide.  …

So we have been on a bit of a roll with Lexar products for the last week or so, and that is a good thing.  For those not familiar with Lexar, they had a very strong presence in the media storage world, originally a Micron company but sold to Longsys of China back in August of 2017.  This of course …

A few days back, we did a review on the first 1TB microSD card to make it outside of manufacturers test facilities and the only negative of that review was that we couldn’t tell you when it would be available, or the cost.  That was the Lexar 1TB High-Professional microSDXC which is the smallest 1TB storage drive in the industry …

Great relationships can lead to great things.  In the past few months, there have been a few companies who have stated their intention to market the holy grail of portable storage; a 1TB microSDXC card.  So far though… nada.  Well…at least until earlier today when a totally unexpected package arrived via courier.  It was a small package…very small in fact.  …

Since the beginning of time… ok maybe not that long ago but since SSDs were introduced to the consumer, we all knew that a time would come where SATA just might near extinction.  Long story short for those who aren’t sure of what we are talking about…  SATA is a protocol which was originally created for magnetic hard drives and …

It is not often that we dedicate the time to looking at an SSD that has been reworked simply through firmware, but our review today of the Western Digital Black SN750 NVMe SSD is just that.  Physically, this SSD holds the same level of components as the WD Black/SanDisk Extreme pro Report we did just about a year ago.  We …

It is always great to be approached by new companies at tech events, and such was the case with Asura at CES a few weeks back, a company still in stealth mode yet hoping that we might take a preliminary look at their newest Genesis Xtreme NVMe SSD.  We did a quick release at the time and, well we were …

It has been awhile now since the Crucial P1 NVMe has been released and, as guilty as I am, this SSD has sat on the shelf for some time.  It has gained some great reviews for its pricing and speed increase from a SATA drive; this SSD destined as truly a consumer marketed product.  My apologies ahead to Crucial as …
