This is the JSCO Optical Noiseless Mouse; it has been designed to be as quiet as possible. This alone is an unusual feature for a mouse, in fact until now there was only 1 other ‘Noiseless’ mouse available to buy. This mouse has been designed in Korea and is only available via import. Now I don’t know about you but …

If a company by the name of Other World Computing (OWC) sounds familiar, its because The SSD Review has evaluated several OWC SSDs including the Mercury Pro Extreme 40GB SSD most recently. That Mercury Extreme Pro is the highest performing SATA based SSD we have ever tested with a Vantage HDD Suite score of a mind boggling 44103 points. It does so …

Kinda speechless.  We first started The SSD Review some 15 years ago and swore I would never use another hard drive for storage.  I’d betcha there are petabytes of flash storage lying around this office to include enterprise drives, client as well as consumer SSDs, many products that never even made it to mainstream sales and some that have never …

Portable storage is something so many overlook, at least until it is too late.  It’s importance cannot be overstated as so many have learned valuable lessons much too late.  Myself…my laptop dropped out of my hand on a Military base far too many years ago resulting in the loss of close to a year in weapons establishments surveys, along with …

On our Test Bench this morning is the Samsung Portable SSD (PSSD) T5 EVO and it is a rather unique device.  There is no doubt whatsoever that, at only 3 3/4″ x 1 1/2″ x 5/8″ and weighing 3.5oz, this is the most compact 8TB on the market, but also, this PSSD attains speeds of 460MB/s read and write which …

Over the years, we have compiled several SSD reviews that might not be the norm to most; secure SSDs.  We aren’t speaking of software contained portable SSDs that enable one to activate that devices hardware encryption, but rather, those that don’t rely on software, those that cannot be broken into and even if someone could, those that are filled solid …

Samsung has been around for some time now.   In fact they were one the first to spread their wings in the consumer flash industry.  Just like any other manufacturer, there have been a few speed bumps along the way but Samsung has established themselves as a quality storage company for more years than one might consider.  Their external storage collection …

I am going to date myself acknowledging that I used to watch Star Trek as a child but can safely say that I was never a Star Trek fanatic.  Still, after testing this new Samsung 990 Pro 4TB NVMe M.2 SSD over the last week, Star Trek and far too many ‘warp speed’ quotes came to mind.  The 990 Pro …

Sabrent has just released an upgraded version of their Rocket CFX CFExpress B Memory Cards and added the name PRO to make sure they are a distinct entry in the storage space.  They are available in   512GB, 1 and 2TB and we have had the opportunity to spend some time with all three.  Performance is rated at 1800MB/s read and …

One of the oldest names in the flash business is Micron/Crucial and our own relationship with them goes way back to 2010.  Back then, we were one of the first to review their Crucial C300 RealSSD in a 64GB capacity, with lightning fast speeds of  357MB/s read and 76MB/s write, and a price of $139.99… for a 64GB SSD.
