It has been some time now since JMicron released their JMS583 chip which serves as a USB 3.1 Gen 2 to PCIe Gen 3×2 Bridge Controller that enables very high speed and large volume storage in a relatively small M.2 SSD enclosure.  To say the least, this chip has done very well and we have reviewed it in enclosures to …

Thunderbolt 3 has been around for some time now and, as bumpy of a start as it initially seemed to have had, it seems to be fitting quite well in today’s world of anything media.  With 40Gbps bi-directional travel that for some odd reason is limited to 2.8GB/s throughput, there are just so many other things that come along with …
