A few days back we reviewed Corsairs latest and greatest MP700 Elite Gen 5 SSD and that review was rather impressive but for one thing.  When we looked back for the original MP700 Pro review, we learned that we had somehow overlooked the MP700 Pro when released.  Not to worry; our report today is on the Corsair MP 700 Pro …

Corsair recently sent us their latest release of the MP700 Elite Gen 5 SSD and, as I pretty much always do, I threw it in for some tests knowing nothing about it.  Within minutes I was regarding this as potentially one of my favorite SSDs and I still hadn’t looked at any specs.  Take a look at this Crystal Diskmark …

The Corsair MP600 has been around for some time and has been the go-to SSD for  different Corsair component configurations going on four years now.  The first was released with the Phison E16 controller paired with Toshiba BiCS 4 TLC NAND while the next became the MP600 Core, again with the Phison E16 but matching it with Micron 96-layer QLC …

It seems like so long since we posted our review of the Phison PS5026 – E26 PCIe 5.0 reference design where the world got its first look at the incredible performance of a Gen 5 SSD.  Hot off the press on the Test Bench today is Corsairs newest MP700 PCIe 5.0 2TB NVMe M.2 SSD and, if you would believe …

A portable dock for a laptop can be a sweet thing when the laptop charges from the dock.   Historically though, there have been growing pains in creating the perfect dock.  I am on my fourth Lenovo dock at work and I still want to toss it across the room at times when a monitor pops out for no apparent reason.  …

DRAMless SSDs are somewhat of an odd duck in the SSD world, yet they consistently reappear.   Ask anyone on any forum if DRAMless SSDs are a viable option for a main storage medium could be considered picking a fight.  There are hard pressed views and, as a rather long-standing solid state drive reviewer, my views haven’t always gone with the …

So I was in a conversation this week where many were speaking of the success of the Phison E18 controller and I stepped away from the crowd for a bit and had to ask, “Yes but will this last?”  Historically, we have watched different SSD companies, and more specifically, third party SSD controller companies step into the limelight with a …

One of the most obvious changes in moving from PCIe3 to PCIe4 SSDs has been the heat itself.  We actually find it a bit unique, as AMD Ryzen and Intel 11th Gen laptops and ultrabooks have been out for some time, but they contain the much cooler PCIe3 SSDs.  It is no different in desktop use as there isn’t a …

One of the most diverse and inclusive names in the PC business is Corsair.  Their Force Series SSDs were first introduced in 2010, but wait, Corsair’s gaming portfolio started way back in 1994.  Corsair has always been a part of our system builds and my personal favorite to this day is their iCue software, although a quick look at our …

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 …
