So we dropped by the Toshiba suite this morning at CES 2018 in rainy Las Vegas and got a first hand look at some very interesting products.  I am going to start things with my fav first and foremost which is the Toshiba TMC PM5 enterprise SAS SSD which had been spoken of last August. The PM5 is an enterprise …

If you are a fan of the SSD Review, you may remember our review of the new IO-Switch Raijin a short time ago, an SSD solution that consisted of a PCIe Card along with Marvell’s new and unreleased M6e PCIe M.2 SSD.  Plextor must have taken a liking to this design (or maybe it was vice versa) as they introduce …

Anyone who knows me can speak thoroughly on my innate ability to state the wrong thing at the wrong time.  Our afternoon visit to ADATA provided just an example.  Having earlier visited Avant/Mushkin, we were aware that there would be no groundbreaking news, or updated performance results, on the much awaited for LSI SandForce SF3700 controller, Codenamed Griffin.  Hoping sometime …

I had almost thought I might never see it and truly can’t stand by what might happen down the road, but Samsung had their ‘pre-production’ Series 9 ultrabook on display at Pepcom with it’s own Samsung XP941 PCIe M.2 SSD, performing at 1GB/s.  To those not familiar with Samsung, they value their business relationships dearly and the XP941 PCIe SSD …

Posting some of the gorgeous representatives of the companies present at CES sometimes runs with some constructive criticism, but the resulting overwhelming traffic can only lead us to believe that it is appreciated.  In fact last year, several of the subjects wrote us asking for high res copies!

It is an early Saturday morning, expected high of 95DegF here in Taipei and Computex has come to a close once again. While doing a final walk through of Computex buildings yesterday, it came to our attention that we may have missed one or two photo opportunities and a few shots were taken that then increased to a few more …

Its an amazing opportunity to be chosen amongst the few to view and, in some cases, test out the upcoming products of the future. This ‘invite only’ event was held at the exquisite Wynn Hotel and is Showstoppers, hosting approximately 300 press reporters from around the globe. Some of these products have been available for a short time, while others …

We stopped by the PQI booth today to see the new developments that are headed our way this year. PQI wisely sees the emerging mSATA market as a great place to expand, and has plans for a 256 GB SSD in the future. With a great mix of both consumer and enterprise drives, PQI is continuing solid growth into the …

To say that CES was a mad point today at one point was an understatement as scores of people crowded around the Tosy Robotics booth hoping for a glimpse at Justin Bieber. The crowd was thicker than a Boxing Day sale at Macy’s as security had to continually push the crowd back to keep them at bay, each in hopes …
