Samsung’s newest SSD release is the 990EVO, a PCIe 5.0 SSD that runs at the lower end of PCIe 4.0 speeds.  We have been running it through our test regimen for the last week or so and I have to say this SSD is a bit of an odd duck.  It is forwards and backwards compatible as one might expect …

On our Test Bench this morning is the Samsung Portable SSD (PSSD) T5 EVO and it is a rather unique device.  There is no doubt whatsoever that, at only 3 3/4″ x 1 1/2″ x 5/8″ and weighing 3.5oz, this is the most compact 8TB on the market, but also, this PSSD attains speeds of 460MB/s read and write which …

Samsung has been around for some time now.   In fact they were one the first to spread their wings in the consumer flash industry.  Just like any other manufacturer, there have been a few speed bumps along the way but Samsung has established themselves as a quality storage company for more years than one might consider.  Their external storage collection …

I am going to date myself acknowledging that I used to watch Star Trek as a child but can safely say that I was never a Star Trek fanatic.  Still, after testing this new Samsung 990 Pro 4TB NVMe M.2 SSD over the last week, Star Trek and far too many ‘warp speed’ quotes came to mind.  The 990 Pro …

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 …

Most SSD manufacturers have been around four to six times longer than Sabrent, but few can stand beside the company.   Alongside Phison, they have literally pushed the SSD industry forward at a pace that pretty much labels them pioneers and they have only been in this space a few years.  Any reviewer can display a pile of 4/8TB TLC/QLC SSDs, …

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 …

The Samsung Portable T7 Shield is a USB 3.2 Gen 2 SSD that will transfer data at up to 1GB/s with capacities up to 2TB, a decent price point and 3-year warranty.

Samsung has recently introduced a new card in their flash lineup which should be a very comfortable entry into the media world.  It is the Samsung Pro Plus microSDXC and it is available in 128, 256 and 512GB capacities with and without the included card reader. This card also comes with a 10-year warranty. Its performance specs are rather impressive …

Recommend a DRAM-less SSD on any website forum or product purchase site and you have just committed storage suicide.  There is a ‘cancel-culture’ that will hunt you down and ensure that you never post without their jumping in ever again.  People who have never had a DRAM-less SSD in their hand will hound you endlessly because, well, Linus said not …
