Several weeks ago, Lexar sent us their biggest and brightest 2TB Lexar Professional Gold CFExpress B Card and, well, it has found a permanent home in my Canon EOS R5 mirrorless digital full frame.  That wasn’t an easy feat considering I had relied solely on the ProGrade Cobalt 650GB card since its release 2 1/2 years ago, but this Lexar …

Some time ago we posted an article on the latest and greatest in CFExpress Type B cards with our Lexar Professional Diamond 128GB and its unique ability to provide a sustained write performance of just under 1600MB/s.  After all, sustained write speeds are everything in the world of digital media and, earlier CFExpress Type B cards that could not hold …

It’s been just over a month since we posted the latest in NAND flash technology with our Micron 2550 DRAM-less Gen 4 SSD Review where we saw a Gen 4 SSD run cooler and faster than we ever had before. It was (and still is) an ideal candidate for ‘PS5 Gaming SSD of the Year’ (if you can get your …

Sometimes small things surprise us.  Samsung just pulled this off with their newest T7 Shield which has just been released in a massive 4TB capacity.  You see… this is not typical of Samsung to push out such high capacity storage as it goes against their business model.  I know this as I had a very lengthy conversation with Samsung in …

Every now and then a product comes across our desk that we just know is going to be special…maybe even a game changer.  Such is the case with the newest Micron 2550 DRAMless PCIe 4.0 Client M.2 SSD that we are testing today and, quite frankly, it is hard to believe there is really so much in such a small …

DRAMless SSDs are somewhat of an odd duck in the SSD world, yet they consistently reappear.   Ask anyone on any forum if DRAMless SSDs are a viable option for a main storage medium could be considered picking a fight.  There are hard pressed views and, as a rather long-standing solid state drive reviewer, my views haven’t always gone with the …

Given respect to portable storage, Sabrent is without a doubt the team to beat.  They hold no reservations when it comes to speed or capacity in a portable SSD. Not only have we seen this with their speedy 10Gbps, 20Gbps and Thunderbolt 3 drives performing up to 3GB/s but also, they are the only that would dare market a 16TB …
