One of the most diverse and inclusive names in the PC business is Corsair. Their Force Series SSDs were first introduced in 2010, but wait, Corsair’s gaming portfolio started way back in 1994. Corsair has always been a part of our system builds and my personal favorite to this day is their iCue software, although a quick look at our …

Read More »Silicon Power UD70 2TB NVMe SSD Review
The Silicon Power UD70 NVMe SSD is based on the newest Micron QLC NAND flash memory and it fits right in. That is a pretty big statement considering there was a point when nobody thought QLC memory could stand up to the performance of previous gen TLC memory. But then again, the same was said of TLC memory in comparing …

Less than a week ago Canon introduced their newest camera lineup which was highlighted by the Canon EOS mirror-less R5 Digital camera. To anyone who is familiar with cameras, this may be the release of the decade. It is a 45 megapixel camera that will shoot video as large as 8K/30 or 4K/120 with RAW. Myself, I am moving up …

It is not often that a new SSD company makes such an impact in today’s technology world, especially when it comes to SSDs. Sabrent has. As much as SSD companies have come and gone, those that own the fabs have had the biggest advantage as they not only control flash pricing, but also, its availability. To clarify, a fab is …

I find it a bit amusing that some 13 years since our first SSD review, flash technology is still at a point that we are trying to move the consumer from hard drive to SSD. Knowing what we know about the difference between the two, It simply doesn’t make sense to me that PCs, especially laptops, are still selling with …

Today, we are reviewing the first publicly available 4TB M.2 SSD in the industry. Yes. You …

Whats probably the most amusing, and most unusual characteristic in our review of our second PCIe 4.0 SSD today is the fact that the only way you are going to be running these kind of SSD speeds anytime soon is with an AMD system. It’s not often that we ever catch Intel with its pants down but, at least in …

It has been a few years now, but thinking back I am sure there are those that remember the hard drive and all that went along with it. Slow start times, heat, noise and an all around much slower PC experience, especially for those that work in media. The largest jump we have seen in storage is without a doubt …
