The SSD Review The Worlds Dedicated SSD Education and Review Resource |

As a follow up to our initial Computex release detailing SanDisk’s new enterprise PCIe Solid State Accelerator, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to have a sit down with C.T. Chu, SanDisk Sr. Product Marketing Manager, for a more in depth look at SanDisk Lightning. Imagine our surprise when C.T. pulled out the Lightning for a closer look and discussion …

Memoright consistently reigns as the most complete display for SSD technology at Computex and, if their products this year are any indication of things to come, MemoRight will be pushing the bar that much further once again. From a PCIe with their own controller, to the worlds thinnest 2.5″ form factor ssd, and then quadrupling the life of present NAND …

Crucial and Amazon appear to have gone on the offensive in SSD pricing with prices as low as 77 cents per GB today, something that hasn’t been even considered in a top tier SSD yet. We might have expected this from lesser caliber SSD that has not had the popularity of the M4, but in the M4’s time on the …

Once again we find ourselves throwing in a bit of a diversion to the SSD and tech news regular posts.  As our upcoming schedule restricts however, this will unfortunately  have to be the last Computex 2012 Booth Babe update for the trip. From all of us here at The SSD Review, thanks for checking out the site and, if you …

Our visit with LSI SandForce in the Grand Hyatt Taipei during Computex 2012 resulted in what we believe to be the worlds first viewing of 19/20nm NAND flash memory at work with LSI SandForce SF-2281 processors. Utilizing SATA 3 SSD samples containing both Toshiba 19nm Toggle Mode NAND and Intel 20nm synchronous NAND flash memory, LSI SandForce was anxious to …

If I were to have a personal favorite SSD form factor it would just have to be the mSATA SSD.  At under 10gm and 1/3 the size of a business card, the performance this device is capable of is reminiscent of that of a worker ant that can lift 20 times its weight. Needless to say,  learning of ADATAs new …

Stopping by KingSpec at Computex 2012 uncovered a new and interesting PCIe SSD dubbed the KingSpec Mutticore Series SSD. Housing eight mSATA SSDs, the Multicore answers the obvious question we have had of similar mSATA x 4 PCIe SSDs and this SSD can be configured with 64 to 2TB of available storage. The Multicore is still technically a prototype and …

Silicon Power did more than upgrade their SSDs with an attractive exterior at Computex 2012 this morning.  Two new SSDs, the Velox V60 and T10 will be replacing the V30 and V20 lines and the T10 is a bit interesting with respect to capacity. The V60, of course, contains the LSI SandForce SF-2281 controller and is capable of performance of …

It was only a few days back that we broke the news of Biwin’s introduction of the NuvoDrive NX SSD which used a new to market controller by NovaChips designated as the Bugatti NVS3600A. Today at Computex we were able to speak with Joe James, VP of Worldwide Marketing, Biwin America, who walked us through a few benchmarks and also …

Once again we are in Taipei, Taiwan attending Computex and it is turning out to be another great experience. There is no shortage of new products to review and we will continue to meet with our affiliates to provide you with the up-to-date. Check out the daily updates and of course our special Booth Babe collection, as it appears that this year …

It is going to be a long night catching up on todays Computex visits so I thought I might get this off my plate right away. Luckily for all, we had another great photographer in our midst on Day One of Computex 2012 and this year, while I was making rounds with the many SSD partners, she thought she might …

Word of an OEM disk caching solution has been the talk for some time and we had to wonder who would be the first and when, until today that is. The opportunity to purchase a laptop with both the power of an SSD and the storage capacity of a hard drive has been some time in the making and, unexpectedly, …

It has been some time in the making but there is a new kid on the block in the SSD controller world. This controller is the LM87800 6Gb/s SSD controller from Link A Media Devices (LAMD) and, judging by initial performance specs, Corsair made a very smart move grabbing the exclusive on its introduction to the consumer SSD market. The …

If good looking and powerful are what you are looking for in the worlds lightest ultrabook, hold your seats because Gigabyte is about to wow the world with their new carbon fiber X11 Ultra and we have the goods at Computex 2012. To quote this ultra as attractive is an understatement as our pictures can’t  do this machine justice.  As …

If timing is everything, I have to hand it to Sandisk on this one.  For some unknown reason, I just woke up at 2:30am just before Day One at Computex in Taipei to find that Sandisk sent out notification of their new Lightning PCI-Express Solid State Accelerator (SSA) Cards. The Lightning PCIe is available in capacities of  200GB and 400GB …
