It is no secret with SSD advance that performance and stability have been the driving force behind the wheel.  Speed rules and if we can achieve that while maintaining data integrity and longevity in our storage device, we will keep pushing forward.  Flash technology accounts for so much in our daily activities that it goes totally unnoticed.  We have become …

Having been around storage and solid state drives for a few years, we can speak with some authority that client SSDs found in PC systems, laptops and ultra books paled in comparison to those retail SSDs being tested.  I can remember our review of the Dell XPS 13 Gold Edition in fact, where the performance spoke to 1500MB/s read and …

Over the years, we have compiled several SSD reviews that might not be the norm to most; secure SSDs.  We aren’t speaking of software contained portable SSDs that enable one to activate that devices hardware encryption, but rather, those that don’t rely on software, those that cannot be broken into and even if someone could, those that are filled solid …

Don’t really know where to start with this.  Every now and then reviewers have product sent to them that breaks the norm.  It does things it shouldn’t.  Next thing you know there is alot of jabbering back and forth and everyone runs their tests again wondering what the heck?!?!  The Crucial T500 Pro is on our Test Bench right now …

Samsung has been around for some time now.   In fact they were one the first to spread their wings in the consumer flash industry.  Just like any other manufacturer, there have been a few speed bumps along the way but Samsung has established themselves as a quality storage company for more years than one might consider.  Their external storage collection …

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 …

Sabrent has just released an upgraded version of their Rocket CFX CFExpress B Memory Cards and added the name PRO to make sure they are a distinct entry in the storage space.  They are available in   512GB, 1 and 2TB and we have had the opportunity to spend some time with all three.  Performance is rated at 1800MB/s read and …

The Corsair MP600 has been around for some time and has been the go-to SSD for  different Corsair component configurations going on four years now.  The first was released with the Phison E16 controller paired with Toshiba BiCS 4 TLC NAND while the next became the MP600 Core, again with the Phison E16 but matching it with Micron 96-layer QLC …

It seems like so long since we posted our review of the Phison PS5026 – E26 PCIe 5.0 reference design where the world got its first look at the incredible performance of a Gen 5 SSD.  Hot off the press on the Test Bench today is Corsairs newest MP700 PCIe 5.0 2TB NVMe M.2 SSD and, if you would believe …

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. We …
