Just when we thought the news of the Innogrit SSD Controller was going to take over the SSD industry, watch out!  ADATA not only had their sample of the ADATA Innogrit based Sage on display and running at 7GB/s, but they also had two other SSDs on display that were both Gen 4×4 and SMI products… one that listed specs …

The inevitability of advance in flash has brought something that the world still cannot get enough of… storage.  Regardless of what you believe, there never seems to be enough space and higher resolution media would never survive on cards of only a few years back.  Micron’s latest and greatest  96-layer 3D QLC NAND is really the highlight of our review …

Teton Glacier.  We can probably all agree that this is one of the coolest product code names to date.  This code name applies to the subject of our report today which is the 512GB version of the Intel Optane Memory H10 with Solid State Storage.  To look at, this SSD is unique in that, although its mechanism of operation is …

A few days back, we did a review on the first 1TB microSD card to make it outside of manufacturers test facilities and the only negative of that review was that we couldn’t tell you when it would be available, or the cost.  That was the Lexar 1TB High-Professional microSDXC which is the smallest 1TB storage drive in the industry …

Great relationships can lead to great things.  In the past few months, there have been a few companies who have stated their intention to market the holy grail of portable storage; a 1TB microSDXC card.  So far though… nada.  Well…at least until earlier today when a totally unexpected package arrived via courier.  It was a small package…very small in fact.  …

So we have been used to seeing 1TB and larger external drives for some time now, and typically they will be somewhat compact in size and have a cable which plugs into the storage device and PC. It is not common to see flash drives reaching that 1TB capacity and, in fact, I think we have only ever tackled one …

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 …

I have been a Lexar fan for too many years to remember so one might imagine that I became just a bit concerned when they were sold off to Longsys, a manufacturer having a great reputation abroad, but without a similar following by media professionals here in North America.  We met with the new owners shortly after the purchase and …

If you are up to spec in the tech storage field, 4-bit mlc (multi-level cell) is all the rage.  If you are a typical consumer, things get just a ‘bit’ confusing.  After all, what does your search for adequate storage have to do with anything but price, warranty, speed and capacity?  Actually quite a bit (intended pun), as electronic storage …

On the Test Bench today, we take a look at Intel’s latest NVMe creation, the Intel SSD 660p NVMe M.2 SSD. The 660p, as we will refer to is as from this point on, represents the beginning of the end of days. Okay, just kidding, it really doesn’t. But, it is the first consumer SSD to enter the market with …
