OWC has been in the storage game for some time and our first review of their first SSD goes back some 9 years now.

It has been awhile now since the Crucial P1 NVMe has been released and, as guilty as I am, this SSD has sat on the shelf for some time.

Without a doubt, one of my favorite things about tech shows is being contacted last-minute by a company nobody has ever heard of, and being asked to check out their first SSD. This happened at CES 2019 and the company name is Asura. They are a brand new company who is hoping to market a new SSD with all the …
