I am going to date myself acknowledging that I used to watch Star Trek as a child but can safely say that I was never a Star Trek fanatic.  Still, after testing this new Samsung 990 Pro 4TB NVMe M.2 SSD over the last week, Star Trek and far too many ‘warp speed’ quotes came to mind.  The 990 Pro …

KIOXIA has just announced that their PCIE 5.0 CD7 NVMe 2.0 E3.S SSDs are making their grand entrance shipping on select Hewlett Packard Enterprise  (HPE) systems, to include HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers, HPE Alletra 4000 data storage servers and the HPE Synergy 480 Gen11 Compute Module.

We …

Kudos for snagging that as well as the detailed SSD breakdown for those not familiar with SSDs. Something struck us a bit odd though and we are rather certain that we are walking the …

It’s been just over a month since we posted the latest in NAND flash technology with our Micron 2550 DRAM-less Gen 4 SSD Review where we saw a Gen 4 SSD run cooler and faster than we ever had before. It was (and still is) an ideal candidate for ‘PS5 Gaming SSD of the Year’ (if you can get your …

Without a doubt one of the smallest and fastest storage solutions available today!

Let's Welcome the world's first PCIe 5.0 SSD outside of manufacturers hands...
