Over the years, we have been lucky enough to post several great articles that hit data security straight on through encrypted SSDs.  Some might say we have become a go-to encrypted flash resource in fact. Data security is key and data loss worldwide reaches billions annually. It is a skyrocketing trend and, in so many cases, people and businesses are …

Many may not know this but I have been a police officer for the past 25 years, in addition to running Essentially Tech Media, The SSD Review and Technology X.  Many will be very surprised at reading this, most of whom I have known for years but never mentioned such.  I have never mixed the two businesses. I understand data …

In case you missed it, there has been a storm in the camera industry as of late.  As much as I would like to say it’s the newest Canon EOS R5 camera I have in hand, it’s not.  It is the controversy surrounding this R5 video capabilities and the correlation of internal temperatures and a point where the camera will …

It seems that consumers simply can’t get enough of portable SSDs.  For the most part, they all seem to be pocket sized these days, range anywhere from 512GB to 8TB, and can have speeds from SATA 3 at just above 500MB/s all the way to ThunderBolt 3 which can pull in data as fast as 2.8GB/s.  Price is key with …

Portable storage has come a long way.  As much as I am not going to give my age away by mentioning rather large bulletproof hard drive contained external SSDs, being able to throw a portable SSD in your pocket, much less one that is capable of storing hundreds of thousands of pictures, songs or thousands of movies, is impressive.  Such …

It is always great to bring something to the forefront that is just a bit different.  Today, we are taking a quick look at a product that very well may be a technology break through…that has been made possible by SMI.  The product is the newest Accell Driver-Less USB-C 4K Docking Station and its existence has been made possible by …

So we are going to take a look at a product today that has been out for some time.  I have actually had this in my hands for several months and never reviewed it as my first provided sample wasn’t a review sample.  The reason I wanted to review it today is because it is a decent example of portable …

I am somewhat of a camera buff.  I love photography and I carry a Canon 5D Mk IV, that even I will admit is much to far ahead of my skill set.  My wife.  Well, she used to take incredible pleasure in reminding me how many all inclusive vacations this camera cost.  That was until I started shooting family weddings. …

Typically, one might think of Nano cards only when it came to cell phones. The nano SIM card, in its original iteration, allowed us to communicate.  Huawei changed that.  Their newer releases have dual nano slots that can be used for two SIM cards if you travel alot, or for additional on-board storage memory. The price of storage is perhaps …
