Oh my. Having been involved in the flash industry since 2007, I can honestly say I never thought I would have in my hands what I have today….an 8TB external SSD that is powered by only its Thunderbolt 3 data cable and is 4″ long by 1.75″ wide by 1/2 thick. It can move data at speeds up to 2.7GB/s. …

Crucial P5 NVMe SSD Review (1TB) – PCIe 3.0′ Late Entry to the Ball
This report examines the Crucial P5 NVMe SSD which has just been released in the past month or so. It is a bit of an odd duck as we are seeing PCIe 3 SSDs settle with the latest and greatest in PCIe 4.0 entering the market. Historically, Crucial has been known to sit in the weeds with their SSD releases, …

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 …
Read More »Sabrent Rocket Q NVMe SSD Review – Is 4TB of Data Storage the New Standard?
If anyone can say anything about Sabrent, it’s that they have hit the SSD scene with a punch. Just a few weeks ago, we reviewed their top performing Sabrent Rocket PCIe 4.o SSD which topped out at 5GB/s data throughput and over 700k IOPS. Today, we are reviewing the first publicly available 4TB M.2 SSD in the industry. Yes. You …

In our hands today is one of the few PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSDs available in the consumer flash industry. Surprisingly, its brand name is that of a relatively new company (at least when it comes to flash); Sabrent. PCIe 4.0 is the latest and greatest bringing data transfer speeds 5GB/s, and as media professionals know, these speeds are everything …

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 …

If we look back at the last few months of SSD progression, it becomes rather evident that there is just a bit of a fist fight between competing SSD controller manufacturers, SMI and Phison. SMI has maintained a solid footprint in the industry for the last few years but most recently, Phison released its 5012-E12 controller which has gained quite …

Unless you really dig into SSD technology and the inner workings of a SSD, many are probably totally how similar many SSDs really are. In fact, when the SSD just started breaking out so many years ago, it wouldn’t be unusual for two SSDs to be nothing more than a different brand sticker. Absolutely true. One manufacturer would successfully market …
