Not so much for the geeks, gamers and enthusiasts who jumped on board several years ago, but there has always been a group of PC users who might like to transition from the hard drive to the SSD…but the price has never been quite right. And then there …

The inevitability of advance in flash has brought something that the world still cannot get enough of… storage.

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 …

It has been some time now since JMicron released their JMS583 chip which serves as a USB 3.1 Gen 2 to PCIe Gen 3×2 Bridge Controller that enables very high speed and large volume storage in a relatively small M.2 SSD enclosure.

It has been a bit since we posted a review on a 2.5″ notebook SATA3 SSD and that comes with the territory I guess. We get caught up with the latest and greatest, and we are always amazed that M.2 SSDs the size of a stick of gum can reach mind blowing speeds of NVMe at 3.5GB/s. Nevertheless, SATA3 SSDs …

Every now and then at The SSD Review, we like to throw things in that we find useful, although they may not be directly ‘flash storage’ related.

Without a doubt, one of the best parts of being a part of the flash industry over the past 12 years has to be the opportunities this technology has provided. So much of what we take for granted is solely the result of flash technology and it is mind-blowing how we fail to even recognize its existence in so much …

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. …
