I didn’t know that!  We might bet you will be saying that on conclusion of this report as, for some reason, USB 3.2 Gen 2 20Gb/s is being overlooked by the storage industry.  The industry standard for all that is consumer portable storage speeds has settled at USB 3.2 Gen 2 10Gb/s (1GB/s transfer speed) while the ‘Feast Du Jour’ …

Up real early this morning to write about the Phison E18 NVMe SSD Controller as there have been more than a few readers that have  reminded us more than a few times that the E18 is coming over the past few months. Well the Phison E18 hit key reviewers hands yesterday and trust me when I say it is gaining …

Take a look at the three SSDs below.  They are as fine of an example as you can get to demonstrate just how far we have come in flash technology.  On the left is the Intel 910 Data Center SSD.  Paul Alcorn posted his review  of this SSD way back in 2012.  It had top speeds of 2GB/s, IOPS up …

It needs to be said.  Having a Gen 4 SSD in hand with speeds of 5GB/s in a 4TB capacity is rather special.  Many might never find need for such speed and capacity, but as a media professional, this is heaven.  My camera of choice is a Canon EOS R5 and I only shoot RAW which means each shot is …

The latest and greatest in SSDs is PCIe 4 and the extreme performance that comes with it, presently showing off speeds up to 7GB/s.  Accompanying these high power and rather expensive SSDs is something that we’ve really never had to tackle in the SSD industry, at least not to this extent…heat. At least up until today, Gen 4 SSDs had …

Samsung has released two new SDXC cards for photo and video creators alike and they are the new Samsung Pro Plus and EVO Plus SDXC cards.  Both are available in capacities of 32, 64, 128 and 256GB and both cards are U3 Class 10 compliant in accordance to SD Association standards listed here.  Looking specifically at video, both are capable …

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 …

Less than two weeks ago, we posted a report on the ProGrade Digital 1TB 1700 Gold and 325GB 1700 Cobalt CFexpress B Cards, along with their Thunderbolt 3 CFexpress Card Reader. We were so impressed we just had to do it again.  Admittedly, we were floored by the Cobalt 1700 speeds while maintaining anything but what could be considered the …

Perhaps the one thing that Sabrent has done best in the SSD industry is to fill the void that many would not.  They struck hard on entry with capacities that many might not chance, jumping into QLC well ahead of the curve, and then marketing PCIe 4.0 performance at what appeared to be the perfect time.  And if you are …
