Isn’t competition a great thing?  I have always considered the development of flash technology as somewhat a sport.  It is simply one company trying to create a faster, larger and more reliable SSD than that of which was just released by another. I remember sitting in a business meeting at Samsung HQ in Seoul, South Korea,  many years back and …

Once again, we are tackling yet another SSD manufactured by BIWIN and, when we check out Amazon, we can actually find the ‘FA’ line of SSDs available for sale in Canada and the USA.  BIWIN is the official licensee and manufacturer of Acer and HP brand products and, as we had stated in our review of the BIWIN NV7400 and …

I am a bit embarrassed and my sincerest apologies to ADATA.  I have had this SE920 ADATA USB4 2TB External SSD sitting on my desk for over a year and only today does it get my attention.  Well actually, it gained a great deal of attention way back when I realized that two Z790 PCs with USB4 did not work …

There has always been a rather distinct division in the SSD world.  As much as there had to be a value driven SSD to move the typical SSD users over, there also became that demand for the top performing SSDs, and so there should be.  Flash media performance has changed our world exponentially.  Whether we realize it or not, every …

It is no secret that one of Sabrent’s top weapons in the storage world is the Rocket 4 Plus which has been around for some time now.  First introduced in 2020, the Rocket 4 Plus has been fine tuned to add a 4TB in addition to the original 1/2TB releases and then Sabrent even added a custom heatsink for PS5 …

The WD_Black gaming line has been around for some time now and we have been fortunate to report on several items in the past few years.  Admittedly, my personal favorite was one of the first, the WD_Black AN1500 which was well before its time as an add-in card that could hit speeds of 6GB/s and was bootable…to boot. The one …

Lexar has recently released their Professional Diamond Series CFExpress Type B Memory Card and they believe this card is the ‘worlds fastest’ CFExpress card to date. Specifications list speeds of 1900MB/s read, 1700MB/s write and 1600MB/s sustained write and, if these numbers pan out, this would be an industry leading storage device.  As much as we appreciate these numbers, we …

Just about this time two years ago, we posted our report on the Intel H10 Optane Memory SSD and benefits it could bring to your everyday PC use. A quick review of that report might be a great start here as it provides an in depth look at SSD hot caching and what hot caching does for your system. Briefly, …

If you are in touch with storage technology at all, Intel Optane will be familiar to you and, in fact, we have even gone so far as to describe it as a ‘game changer’ or ‘disruptive technology’ in a previous report.  If you are not ‘up to spec’ on the ins and outs of storage, let’s just say that SSDs …
