So I was in a conversation this week where many were speaking of the success of the Phison E18 controller and I stepped away from the crowd for a bit and had to ask, “Yes but will this last?” Historically, we have watched different SSD companies, and more specifically, third party SSD controller companies step into the limelight with a …

Plextor M10P 2TB Gen4 NVMe SSD Review – A Rock Star with Unheard of Small File Transfer Speeds
Perhaps one of the odd ducks in the SSD space has always been Plextor. Their SSDs have always been amongst the best, but for some reason, they never gained the recognition they deserved. That’s not just my thought I am sure as reviewers historically have had nothing but good to say about Plextor SSDs. They are one of the very …

Mushkin has introduced a new SSD and it is a PCIe 4.0 SSD, aptly named the Mushkin Gamma. The Mushkin Gamma is based on the ever popular Phison E18 NVMe Gen 4 controller and reaches speeds above 7GB/s. Since the introduction of PCIe 4.0 some time ago, we have really seen three levels of Gen 4, these being low power …

Sometimes things almost seem just too coincidental. Less than two weeks back we received the Lexar NM620 NVMe SSD for review while only a few days after that the Lexar name came up while touching base with an old friend I hadn’t spoken to in some time. We were discussing his business, which is PC build and repair, when he …

TeamGroup has introduced a brand new PCIe 4 SSD to the market, one with much the same physical components as the Patriot Viper VP4100 and Sabrent Rocket Gen 4 SSDs introduced some time ago. Our look at the T-Create today will be on a fresh new Test Bench, and one in which we had hoped would become part of our …

One of the most active companies with respect to SSDs and flash technology has to be Sabrent. Not only have they become known to release the biggest and fastest in SSDs well before many of the more mature manufacturers, but also, they spread their wings with external SSDs, Thunderbolt 3, USB 3.2 Gen 2, as well as enclosures for those …

Back in December, we posted our review on the one and two terabyte versions of the newest Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD, both of which received our Editor’s Choice as being one of the best available in the industry. Breaching 7GB/s read speeds and coming very close to that with write performance is not an easy …

One of the most obvious changes in moving from PCIe3 to PCIe4 SSDs has been the heat itself. We actually find it a bit unique, as AMD Ryzen and Intel 11th Gen laptops and ultrabooks have been out for some time, but they contain the much cooler PCIe3 SSDs. It is no different in desktop use as there isn’t a …

Gen 4 SSDs have been available for just over a year now and the two most talked about characteristics just happen to speak to the good and the bad. The good of course has had us watching storage speeds jumping from 3.5GB/s to 5GB/s and now 7GB/s becoming the norm. The bad is the fact that Gen 4 necessitated additional …
