When it comes to storage management, RAID configurations of some kind have proven to be top dog when it comes to performance.  This was initially shown in our report of the Intel 910 PCIe SSD way back in 2012 and, more recently, with the Kingston DCP1000 NVMe SSD that reached 7GB/s throughput and over 1 million IOPS.  The Kingston DCP1000 …

Back in February, Corsair released one of the fastest NVMe SSDs into the market, their Force MP500. This SSD delivers more than enough performance to cover the needs of the majority of PC enthusiasts, however, with a rather typical 3-year warranty and fairly high price tag, it was just shy of earning our Gold Seal. Since then, Corsair has been …

Not so long ago, we introduced you to what just might be the fastest NVMe storage device on the market right now.  Our tests of the Kingston DCP 1000 1.6TB NVME PCIe 3.0 displayed absolutely incredible performance of  7GB/s and 1 million IOPS for a single drive, and our initial enthusiast report uncovered an amazing design package beneath the surface …

Just a few years ago the enterprise SSD market was born and over these few years, we have seen SSDs evolve quite a bit to the point at which they are today. Prices seemed to be sky high for even the cheapest of drives, let alone anything of the PCIe flavor, and if we were lucky enough to have access …

Flash memory, at the consumer level, came to the forefront in late 2007 and has changed everything we do, without most understanding , or caring to understand the reason why.  Its advance has changed our world and we do things every day that somehow touches flash memory in some way, shape or form.  The easiest example might be a quick …

If you’re a fan of SSDs, you won’t be surprised with the latest thought process that SSDs need to be cooled.  As of late, there seems to be a common theme that some type of SSD cooling is better than no cooling at all and, with respect to that thought, I would agree entirely.  Whether I might agree that SSDs, …

Plextor announced their production of their newest M9PE PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe this week at Computex 2017 in Taipei, Taiwan.  The M9Pe is based on the Marvell 88SS1093 controller, code named Eldora, and Toshiba’ newest 512gb BiCS 3D TLC 64 layer memory. Available in either M.2 or PCIe add-in card, the M9Pe will be equipped with a heatsink as it …

Considering that data center SSDs affect so much of what we do everyday in today’s world, their technological marvel is really overlooked. Where the hard drive once filled our largest data centers worldwide, today’s data centers contain SSDs that either complement original HDD implementation, or take the place of hard drives completely. What they do, and really what flash technology …

It wasn’t too long ago that Kingston announced their newest DCP1000 enterprise NVMe SSD, in teaming up with Liqid, with incredible claims of 6.8GB/s performance and 1.25 million IOPS from a single device.  This HHHL AIC speaks of ultra low transactional latency, along with ultra-high throughput, making it the ideal choice for data centers looking for extreme performance.   Thanks …

Quick post to let all know what we have in store in the next few weeks.  We just got the Kingston DCP1000 Data Center NVMe SSD in today and this SSD is rather special.  With advertised capacities up to 3.2TB and performance up to 6.8GB/s and 1.2mil IOPS, this SSD just could be the fastest single SSD solution worldwide right …
