I am somewhat of a camera buff.  I love photography and I carry a Canon 5D Mk IV, that even I will admit is much to far ahead of my skill set.  My wife.  Well, she used to take incredible pleasure in reminding me how many all inclusive vacations this camera cost.  That was until I started shooting family weddings. …

Whats probably the most amusing, and most unusual characteristic in our review of our second PCIe 4.0 SSD today is the fact that the only way you are going to be running these kind of SSD speeds anytime soon is with an AMD system.  It’s not often that we ever catch Intel with its pants down but, at least in …

USB 3.2 Gen 2 with Type-C has become the norm as of late and more systems these days are being sold with USB-C or Thunderbolt included.  Simply put, this means faster transfer speeds between your system and external storage, this storage being bus powered and not requiring a separate adapter and cable to power the device.  ADATA has recently released …

It has been a few years now, but thinking back I am sure there are those that remember the hard drive and all that went along with it.  Slow start times, heat, noise and an all around much slower PC experience, especially for those that work in media.  The largest jump we have seen in storage is without a doubt …

The inevitability of advance in flash has brought something that the world still cannot get enough of… storage.  Regardless of what you believe, there never seems to be enough space and higher resolution media would never survive on cards of only a few years back.  Micron’s latest and greatest  96-layer 3D QLC NAND is really the highlight of our review …

Want to look into the future just a bit?  The picture below shows the latest Toshiba BG4 NVMe 1TB Client SSD and it is just about the same size as an SD card.  To the left and not a competitor brand, we have the Lexar 1TB SDXC card and it reaches great speeds of 95MB/s….which is pretty much it for …

If you have been following us for awhile, you might remember our review of the Apricorn Aegis Secure Key 3 flash drive that we did back in August of 2016.  Back then, any flash drive at 480GB was something to get your hands on, much less one that would also qualify as one of the most secure flash drives worldwide.  …

So we have been on a bit of a roll with Lexar products for the last week or so, and that is a good thing.  For those not familiar with Lexar, they had a very strong presence in the media storage world, originally a Micron company but sold to Longsys of China back in August of 2017.  This of course …

A few days back, we did a review on the first 1TB microSD card to make it outside of manufacturers test facilities and the only negative of that review was that we couldn’t tell you when it would be available, or the cost.  That was the Lexar 1TB High-Professional microSDXC which is the smallest 1TB storage drive in the industry …

Great relationships can lead to great things.  In the past few months, there have been a few companies who have stated their intention to market the holy grail of portable storage; a 1TB microSDXC card.  So far though… nada.  Well…at least until earlier today when a totally unexpected package arrived via courier.  It was a small package…very small in fact.  …
