So I am a few thousand feet above the ground and one specific manufacturer’s meeting, and subsequent booth visit, is still weighing heavily on my mind.  As a trusted tech review resource, remaining independent and impartial plays just as important a role as being able to establish successful relationships with SSD companies and working together in advancing SSD technology as …

Although SK Hynix isn’t as well known as Toshiba, Samsung or Intel/Micron (IMFT), they are one of the few in the world that own the fab.  By owning the fab, we mean that SK Hynix manufacturers NAND flash memory.  In the SSD world, the key to ultimate success (some might say) is to be able to market a complete package …

So the story goes that somewhere at FMS 2013 a certain person is floating around with a new Seagate SSD that contains a LSI SandForce controller.  Parallel to that, the question has been in place for some time as to what will become of Seagate’s relationship with LAMD, recently purchased by SK Hynix, and where will that stand with Seagate …

A few weeks ago we posted a review on the SanDisk Extreme II 240GB capacity SSD and it turned out to be one of the stronger contenders we have seen to date, and most definitely the strongest using a Marvell controller. We wanted to today follow that up with an analysis of that same drive, this time in the 480GB …

Summer is truly here!  We just returned from a motorcycle ride out to the hills of West Virginia.  While we didn’t go totally without our electronics, we did give ourselves a ‘time-out’ to enjoy our friends and a beautiful technology free wedding. That being said, back to reality and the fact that we love our electronics and sharing information with you. …

If you’ve been hanging around TSSDR or Technology X lately, you will have noticed that Apple shipped us a brand smacking new MBA, complete with a Samsung 256GB NGFF PCIe SSD that spits out performance as high as 825MB/s.
