If there is anything we have learned about Micron/Crucial over the years, it is that they like to sit in the weeds. Never really being the first to jump out with a new product, the Crucial norm is to slip a product into the market once the market has become comfortable at that level. When considering the success Crucial/Micron has …

A few days back, an unexpected package arrived at our doorstep via courier; an 8 TB Intel PCIe 4.0 D7-P5510 Data Center SSD. We wanted to throw something out there as a bit of an opener. A bit excited might be an understatement because of its size, speed, and the fact that we haven’t seen an Intel Gen 4 SSD …

Sometimes things almost seem just too coincidental. Less than two weeks back we received the Lexar NM620 NVMe SSD for review while only a few days after that the Lexar name came up while touching base with an old friend I hadn’t spoken to in some time.
