Our SSD Reviews

We have been reviewing TB3 external devices for some time now and it is great to be so far away from those 500MB/s and lower portable storage device speeds. TB3 has been a gift to media professionals, to say the least.  Up until today, however, there has only been a single device that we have reviewed that has the portability …

Its not that often that we are late to the game with many of our reviews, and I must apologize profusely for this one, but better to get it up late than never. We have moved into a new office after a rather lengthy location transition and things are just starting to get back on track.  In any case, today …

Mushkin has been updating infusing its product line with 3D NAND, but that’s not all they have been up to. While doing that, they have been pushing to make SSDs cheap again. Their latest offering, the Mushkin Source, is selling for as low as $28.99 for the 120GB and just $158.99 for the 1TB model! If that’s not something to …

Back when SATA was all the …

Today, we are going to be taking a look at something a little more unique, and possibly the start of a new trend for later SSDs. Today, we are reviewing the Toshiba OCZ RC100 which, unlike other DRAMless SSDs before it, utilizes a new technology built into the NVMe specs list, Host Memory Buffer technology. Host Memory Buffer (HMB) is …

Today, we are going to take a look at ADATA’s newest top dog, the XPG SX8200. The XPG SX8200 was built for high demand applications including multimedia editing, gaming, rendering, and ADATA even states overclocking, although we’re not quite sure what benefits this has for overclocking vs other SSDs. This SSD is one of many NVMe M.2 SSDs they make …

In December of 2017, we got to take a look at Crucial’s latest SATA SSD, the MX500. With a superb mix of performance, features, accessories, price, and warranty the MX500 earned our Top Value award with ease. There really wasn’t anything holding it back except for maybe one thing, availability. At the time of writing, only the 1TB 2.5″ form factor …

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 …
