A few days back, an unexpected package arrived at our doorstep via courier; an 8 TB Intel PCIe 4.0 D7-P5510 Data Center SSD. We wanted to throw something out there as a bit of an opener. A bit excited might be an understatement because of its size, speed, and the fact that we haven’t seen an Intel Gen 4 SSD …

If there is anything the storage industry has gotten wrong, it would be its approach to educating the consumer on storage speeds and their importance. As much as we would like to get into advertised flash performance specs which, for the most part are a total fallacy in relating the actual speed that data moves, today we are going to …
Read More »Lexar NM620 Gen3 NVMe SSD Review
Sometimes things almost seem just too coincidental. Less than two weeks back we received the Lexar NM620 NVMe SSD for review while only a few days after that the Lexar name came up while touching base with an old friend I hadn’t spoken to in some time. We were discussing his business, which is PC build and repair, when he …

TeamGroup has introduced a brand new PCIe 4 SSD to the market, one with much the same physical components as the Patriot Viper VP4100 and Sabrent Rocket Gen 4 SSDs introduced some time ago.

Many many not consider how SSDs have changed from generation to generation but, throughout the years, the push forward has been increased on capacity and top tier performance. In order to achieve a larger capacity, the flash memory footprint has to be reduced and layers stacked, much like we see in apartment buildings, for the most part. The challenge of …

Perhaps one of the most admirable traits about ADATA and their gaming brand XPG throughout the years is their willingness to incorporate a wide range of SSD components in their products. We don’t think that there is another that comes remotely close, most latching on to a certain manufacturer and establishing long lasting partnerships. Thistrait is the case with respect …

Back in December, we posted our review on the one and two terabyte versions of the newest Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD, both of which received our Editor’s Choice as being one of the best available in the industry. Breaching 7GB/s read speeds and coming very close to that with write performance is not an easy …

We are often amused at the progression of SSDs throughout the years. Even today, check anywhere and you can easily find information on the fastest SSD, or even the highest capacity SSD, but what about SSD form factors? Form factor progression has seen SATA 3 notebook SSDs grow into to PCIe SSDs, AIC, mSATA, U2 and then to what was …

On our test bench today is the TeamGroup T-FORCE CARDEA Ceramic C440 Gen 4 NVMe M.2 SSD. This SSD sports an off-white color pattern with gold branding and is a bit different than other SSDs we have tested, in that it contains a ceramic plate heatsink. This is a bit unusual as, well at least until Sabrent came along with …
