Well… I am kind of speechless at just how I should be starting this report because, quite frankly, it has been rather unexpected.  For years now, the SSD industry has had an unofficial divide between premium SSDs and those that are intended for the value point.  Typically we can separate the big boys from the rest by their controller, controllers …

For some time now, Samsung has used a marketing approach with respect to flash media that accommodates both business and the consumer. They produce the Pro M.2 NVMe SSD series for business and media needs and the EVO M.2 NVMe family for  consumer use, and at a relatively modest price point.  One has top performance and the other…is a bit …

I really never thought of it until this morning but, living in the era of seeing analog televisions switch to digital makes me old….real old.  Most of today’ younger generation haven’t a clue what a CRT television  is (that is cathode ray television), much less what it weighed when you had to reposition or move it.  Let’s not even speak …

They’re here, they’re finally here! The drives that we have been waiting for, for what seems like so long. At least we at the SSD review have been waiting so long for. But, what drives are they you might ask? Today, we have in our hands two tiny M.2 SSDs that could have just what it takes to challenge the …

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 …

With the posting of two Intel 750 SSD Reviews, and our more recent article clarifying the U2 (SFF-8639) connector on the Intel 750, this NVMe SSD has received a bit of play as of late. Considering we have three 1.2TB 750s on hand, a few RAID tests were in order and we thought we might compile a bit of a …

As much as many might believe the transition to SSDs to be relatively painless process, it isn’t always so.  The number of e-mails, forum posts and pm’s we have received indicates that, as easy as buying a pre-configured system with an SSD, moving from a hard drive to SSD is not always so. We addressed SSD migration some time ago …

After yesterday’s long cross country flight and well needed rest, we’re all here at Riviera Convention Center to check out Storage Visions 2015! Today and tomorrow there are sessions on all things storage. Starting off today, there was a session on “Looking for Storage for High Resolution Content Capture and Production.” Following up on this was  a keynote on the Facebook …

To anyone not familiar with SSDs, our title might not seem that striking, but it represents a huge step forward in storage technology within a very short time.  It also speaks highly of ASRock for again leading the way in advancing storage, as they are the only to incorporate a new SSD innovation into their Extreme 6 motherboard; this of …

Some time ago, Asus released their newest Z87 ROG Maximus VI motherboard and it was the first  to take a crack at M.2 SSDs. Our review of the ADATA AXNS360E M.2 SSD looked at the Maximus VI first hand   As much as we loved such things as SSD Secure Erase and the UEFI on the board, their M.2 design …
