We have in our hot little hands the latest and greatest LaCie Rugged SSD4 and I am personally thinking this SSD may have been made just for me.

Read More » Sitting here doing some testing and this years highest pile of SSDs seem to belong to SMI, all containing the SMI SM2508 Gen5 8-channel SSD controller that has taken the industry by storm.

Read More » A few days back we reviewed Corsairs latest and greatest MP700 Elite Gen 5 SSD and that review was rather impressive but for one thing. When we looked back for the original MP700 Pro review, we learned that we had somehow overlooked the MP700 Pro when released. Not to worry; our report today is on the Corsair MP 700 Pro …
Read More » Several weeks ago, Lexar sent us their biggest and brightest 2TB Lexar Professional Gold CFExpress B Card and, well, it has found a permanent home in my Canon EOS R5 mirrorless digital full frame.
