It has been14 years since our first introduction to so many of today’s KIOXIA team and might you believe we could have imagined that we would be seeing SSDs in space back then?  You bet we did!  Just today, the NG-20 mission rocket took off into space to update the HPE Spaceborne Computer-2 with KIOXIA SSDs on the International Space …

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 …

Up on the Test Bench today we have the latest and greatest from Lexar, the Lexar Professional NM800 Pro NVMe SSD.  This SSD has a very compact heatsink which makes it the perfect addition to a Sony Playstation 5 gaming system.  Let’s add to that the fact that the makeup of this SSD isn’t your run of the mill copycat …
