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 …

Just over two months ago we posted a report on a brand new SSD that we believed might take the industry by storm… if it ever made its way to  retail, client or enterprise sales that is.  We say this as there have been so many SSDs that reviewers have had in their hands over the years that never made …

A few days back we reviewed Corsairs latest and greatest MP700 Elite Gen 5 SSD and that review was rather impressive but for one thing.  When we looked back for the original MP700 Pro review, we learned that we had somehow overlooked the MP700 Pro when released.  Not to worry; our report today is on the Corsair MP 700 Pro …

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 seems we are always looking for the best in SSDs, whether it be performance or capacity. Reviewers are always more than happy to sing in praise of high end SSDs and so it should be; they represent just how far we have come in flash storage.  Often overlooked, however, are those users don’t have high end needs for their …

It seems like so long since we posted our review of the Phison PS5026 – E26 PCIe 5.0 reference design where the world got its first look at the incredible performance of a Gen 5 SSD.  Hot off the press on the Test Bench today is Corsairs newest MP700 PCIe 5.0 2TB NVMe M.2 SSD and, if you would believe …

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 …

One of the oldest players in the SSD world is Samsung.  They have been around since the beginning and were the first to release SSDs on the retail side way back in April of 2008, right there beside SanDisk.  Back then, we had the Samsung 64GB SLC SATA II SSD priced at a high of $1130… for 64GB!  Flash memory …

Happens to even the best of us.  Last week, I had an SSD crash of my main PC and shortly after learned that my back-up wasn’t going to work and my secondary back-up set me back 2-years.  Considering my love of photography and all things digital, that was a MASSIVE loss.  Sitting right beside my PC was SanDisk’s newest SanDisk …

Without a doubt, the loudest a reader can be in the SSD world is when a company dares to switch hardware in their SSDs without telling anyone.  This goes back years and, well, few have escaped the wrath of online ridicule when they are caught doing such. I have always been the bad guy and still believe that manufacturers have …
