Just over two months ago we posted a report on a brand new SSD that we believed might take the industry by storm… if it ever made its way to  retail, client or enterprise sales that is.  We say this as there have been so many SSDs that reviewers have had in their hands over the years that never made …

There is always something special about getting the biggest and baddest in hand.  We review tons of 2TB SSDs and have had our share of speedy Gen 4 and Gen 5 SSDs as well, but getting a 4TB Gen 5 SSD capable of 14GB/s and 1.7 million IOPS is rather special.  On our bench today is the Corsair MP700 Pro …

Corsair recently sent us their latest release of the MP700 Elite Gen 5 SSD and, as I pretty much always do, I threw it in for some tests knowing nothing about it.  Within minutes I was regarding this as potentially one of my favorite SSDs and I still hadn’t looked at any specs.  Take a look at this Crystal Diskmark …

Gen 5 SSDs are becoming all the rage as of late and for good reason.  Having advanced through the years, we have come from SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) generations 1-3 and then into PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) where we have advanced from generations 1-5.  We retooled the way digital storage was machined from the SATA interface to that …

Samsung’s newest SSD release is the 990EVO, a PCIe 5.0 SSD that runs at the lower end of PCIe 4.0 speeds.  We have been running it through our test regimen for the last week or so and I have to say this SSD is a bit of an odd duck.  It is forwards and backwards compatible as one might expect …

It is no secret with SSD advance that performance and stability have been the driving force behind the wheel.  Speed rules and if we can achieve that while maintaining data integrity and longevity in our storage device, we will keep pushing forward.  Flash technology accounts for so much in our daily activities that it goes totally unnoticed.  We have become …

Don’t really know where to start with this.  Every now and then reviewers have product sent to them that breaks the norm.  It does things it shouldn’t.  Next thing you know there is alot of jabbering back and forth and everyone runs their tests again wondering what the heck?!?!  The Crucial T500 Pro is on our Test Bench right now …

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 …

It seems like so long since we posted our review of the Phison PS5026 – E26 PCIe 5.0 reference design where the world got its first look at the incredible performance of a Gen 5 SSD.  Hot off the press on the Test Bench today is Corsairs newest MP700 PCIe 5.0 2TB NVMe M.2 SSD and, if you would believe …

Without a doubt one of the smallest and fastest storage solutions available today!
