The SSD Review unfortunately cannot attend but this event is definitely worth the mention!  KIOXIA will be showing off their next generation Enterprise and Data Center SSDs at the 2024 OCP Global Summit in San Jose, California this week.  We just released a post on their newest XD* Data Center SSD and it might be an amazing visit to see …

KIOXIA this morning announced their newest XD8 Series Data Center PCIe 5.0 (32GT/s x4) SSDs which will provide up to 73% higher performance than the previous generation, greater scalability and enhanced efficiency.  The  XD8 is available in 1.92, 3.84 and 7.62TB and the EDSFF E1.S form factor provides for 9.5, 15 and 25mm heat sink sizes. The XD8 provides performances …

Simply had to post this Amazon price drop as it is a deal on an amazing SSD that is too good to pass up.  Right now at Amazon, the SK Hynix P41 Platinum is going for $134.99 but don’t wait to long; it is a limited time deal. Get the deal here! This is a PCIe 4.0 (Gen 4) NVme …

Price, performance and capacity.  Time and time again the teller of all SSD success lies on these three factors…typically  Well actually… rarely would you ever count a DRAM-less SSD in that grouping.  There was a time in the industry where the word DRAM-less was a dirty word and the mere thought of recommending such would create response large enough to …

Gen 5 SSDs are becoming all the rage as of late and for good reason.  Having advanced through the years, we have come from SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) generations 1-3 and then into PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) where we have advanced from generations 1-5.  We retooled the way digital storage was machined from the SATA interface to that …

Western Digital has recently released it’s newest Blue SN5000 NVMe SSD in a PCIe 4.0 design and, although there isn’t much to scream and shout about, this SSD is a bit different from the rest.  It relies on two separate types of memory, depending on the chosen size.  If you are buying the SN5000 from 500GB to the 2TB capacity, …

Let’s start this article off by clearing a few things up.  This is not a sponsored article and I have had no contact with the companies of which will be included.  Next up… this is without a doubt the first time in a long time I have been inspired to write an article just because.  If I can save you …

Kinda speechless.  We first started The SSD Review some 15 years ago and swore I would never use another hard drive for storage.  I’d betcha there are petabytes of flash storage lying around this office to include enterprise drives, client as well as consumer SSDs, many products that never even made it to mainstream sales and some that have never …

And so the steam train of SSD speeds keeps moving.  It wasn’t so long ago that we thought things were doing so well when we saw SATA speeds of 540MB/s jump to over 1GB/s…and then 2GB/s to 3.5GB/s which doubled again and is now doubling once more.  To those on the outside, it seems like such a simple jump but …

It has been14 years since our first introduction to so many of today’s KIOXIA team and might you believe we could have imagined that we would be seeing SSDs in space back then?  You bet we did!  Just today, the NG-20 mission rocket took off into space to update the HPE Spaceborne Computer-2 with KIOXIA SSDs on the International Space …
