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.

Lexar SL200 1TB Portable SSD Review
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 no secret that I am a fan of portable storage. Thunderbolt 3 Portable SSDs rank tops as we can hit speeds of 2.8GB/s, however, anything above SATA is a bonus when you work in the media world and take the amount of photos as I do. Retail sales of flash storage has conformed just a bit as of …

So… We know that anything but an SSD has to be damn (Can I say that?) credible for us to post on The SSD Review now don’t we? Truth be told, we haven’t posted a chassis review since way back in 2012 and it would be rare as heck to find me doing such a review. After all, we have …

One of my favorite pastimes is building computers. It can be frustrating at times. And yes, I don’t remember a single build taking less than a weekend to find tune things. My wife will tell you that the world stops when I start the build. If something goes wrong, good luck pulling me away…and 2am? I get my second wind …

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 …

So we have been on a bit of a roll with Lexar products for the last week or so, and that is a good thing. For those not familiar with Lexar, they had a very strong presence in the media storage world, originally a Micron company but sold to Longsys of China back in August of 2017. This of course …

I have been a Lexar fan for too many years to remember so one might imagine that I became just a bit concerned when they were sold off to Longsys, a manufacturer having a great reputation abroad, but without a similar following by media professionals here in North America. We met with the new owners shortly after the purchase and …
