If you are a fan of the SSDs, you will know that we have had just a bit of Lexar coverage to date.  Personally speaking, I have always been a Lexar fan and it is a mainstay in much of my media equipment.    Last we wrote, we were able to show you that they have had tremendous luck with …

CES hasn’t even started yet and storage seems front and central once again as we saw first hand with an unexpected visit to Western Digital/SanDisk last night at Pepcom.  Check this out.  It is a 8TB palm sized portable SSD that is USB-C and will transfer data…lots of data… above 1GB/s easily.  It is an early prototype but this is …

Thunderbolt 3 has been around for some time now and, as bumpy of a start as it initially seemed to have had, it seems to be fitting quite well in today’s world of anything media.  With 40Gbps bi-directional travel that for some odd reason is limited to 2.8GB/s throughput, there are just so many other things that come along with …

It is not often that we dedicate the time to looking at an SSD that has been reworked simply through firmware, but our review today of the Western Digital Black SN750 NVMe SSD is just that.  Physically, this SSD holds the same level of components as the WD Black/SanDisk Extreme pro Report we did just about a year ago.  We …

I remember a time when people were amazed of the high capacity that a CF card could have.  It was all the rage for the media world.  Years past and we saw the popularity of SD cards, and eventually the need for microSD cards grew exponentially.  Yes… I realize I am dating myself here….just about as far back as the …

To give you an idea how far we have come in solid-state storage, the very first notebook sold with an SSD was the Dell XPS M1330.  It shipped with the Sandisk u5000  (my first and very embarrassing review) SATA2 32GB SSD, an SSD that would gain infamy as the first ‘stuttering SSD’ and, back then, storage capacity wasn’t an option. …

Technology that makes life simple is a bit easier said then done and something we always strive for.   Technically speaking, the cloud does just that but, let’s be honest…people want their files within reach.  iCloud is a great example of this as, regardless of how easy it is to set up and secure, people don’t want their files located somewhere …

Before we start, I am always asked for this link to the Amazon Best Sellers List for SSDS!  It may reflect some great pricing throughout the day and is a great resource whenever one is looking for the most popular and best value SSDs. Well today’s the day and if there is any time of the year to make the …

In storage tech, there exists a golden triangle that consists of performance, capacity and value; this is no different for camera storage.  In our last CompactFlash Card report, we awarded our Editor’s Choice to the Lexar Professional 1066x 128GB CF Card for its mind-boggling performance that blew away every storage card we have ever tested.  That card, as well, came …
