Things have been a bit disappointing as of late. The fastest external data transfer rate for media is Thunderbolt 3 and, well, the industry just doesn’t want to keep up so it seems.  Thunderbolt 3 has been around for some time, but good luck finding it integrated directly into motherboards but for that of ASRock, unless of course you want …

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 …

I am always looking for a decent docking station.  As much as it is very convenient when travelling to tech events, more so, I am always looking for the perfect answer to office convenience.  Reaching behind the PC to find just the right port, or even plugging a device in the PC front when its cabling just isn’t long enough …

As a camera and computer geek, I am always in search of the perfect peripherals for my PC. Quite frankly, I am always looking for anything that keeps me from having to reach around the back of the PC.  My perfect solution might be dual Tbt3 with 40Gbps transfer, have power delivery and also have SD and MicroSD card slots …

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.  Personally, I am a storage speed junkie so anything I can get my hands on that accomplishes that is good to go.  This is a bit different though.  It is the Plugable USB-C …

OWC has been in the storage game for some time and our first review of their first SSD goes back some 9 years now.  Throughout the years, they have primarily gained success with Mac add-ons or replacement items, such as SSDs, but we have always been the first to say that OWC is just as valuable as a PC resource.  …

If asked, there really is no way to put a total on the number of systems we have built throughout the years.  It has to be above 100.  In all instances, we gain a great deal of support through manufacturers and, as I look back, there is one manufacturer that seems to get overlooked more often than not; Icy Dock.  …

Technology that makes life simple is a bit easier said then done and something we always strive for.   Technically speaking, the cloud does just that but, let’s be honest…people want their files within reach.  iCloud is a great example of this as, regardless of how easy it is to set up and secure, people don’t want their files located somewhere …

For a storage reviewer, there is no better discovery than something that cuts the time of storage reviews as most can take a week or longer. We first spoke of this  in 2010 when we reviewed the Vantec External Dock which didn’t quite meet our needs. This report examines the HighPoint 5322 Dual eSATA 6Gbps External Dock, along with their …

With the popularity of mSATA SSDs being all the rage as of late, it was only a matter of time before a new PCIe adapter was introduced that might allow users to take advantage of that extra storage should they find an mSATA SSD at a great price. Our review today will look at the new OWC Mercury AccelsiorM mSATA …
