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 …

Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C portable SSDs have become mainstream as of late, the typical value product having a JMicron controller that provides data transfer speeds up to 1GB/s read and write.  This is sufficient for the typical consumer but media professionals demand faster data transfer speeds….and higher capacity.  The sweet spot for Thunderbolt 3 is 2.8GB/s and that is as …

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 …

Since the beginning of time… ok maybe not that long ago but since SSDs were introduced to the consumer, we all knew that a time would come where SATA just might near extinction.  Long story short for those who aren’t sure of what we are talking about…  SATA is a protocol which was originally created for magnetic hard drives and …

So I am playing around with the SSDs that I had received from Mushkin awhile back and I suddenly notice that the Mushin Pilot SSD that I have in hand…. isn’t actually a Pilot at all.  It is the newest, and unreleased, Mushkin Pilot-E containing the newest SMI 2262EN controller.  A quick search around the internet shows nothing posted and …

It is not often that we dedicate the time to looking at an SSD that has been reworked simply through firmware, but our review today of the Western Digital Black SN750 NVMe SSD is just that.  Physically, this SSD holds the same level of components as the WD Black/SanDisk Extreme pro Report we did just about a year ago.  We …

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 …

It is always great to be approached by new companies at tech events, and such was the case with Asura at CES a few weeks back, a company still in stealth mode yet hoping that we might take a preliminary look at their newest Genesis Xtreme NVMe SSD.  We did a quick release at the time and, well we were …

OWC has been in the storage game for some time and our first review of their first SSD goes back some 9 years now.  Throughout the years, they have primarily gained success with Mac add-ons or replacement items, such as SSDs, but we have always been the first to say that OWC is just as valuable as a PC resource.  …

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.  It has gained some great reviews for its pricing and speed increase from a SATA drive; this SSD destined as truly a consumer marketed product.  My apologies ahead to Crucial as …
