The latest in greatest in portable media storage this season is the implementation of USB4 and it’s 4GB/s transfer speeds.  Without a doubt, this is a breath of fresh air for the media professional and the storage industry as a whole.  Somewhat overlooked,  USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 has become a very affordable, speedy and high capacity solution for those having …

A day or two late but we wanted to complete our testing on the newest Crucial X10 Portable SSD for a more complete picture.  Coming in at just 65mm x 50mm x 9.9mm and weighing just 42 Grams, this SSD is the smallest form factor 8TB SSD on the planet right now… and we haven’t got one in hand… well …

So… We seem to have a bunch of new high-end gear in hand and that is thanks to ProGrade Digital who sent over just a bit more than we expected.  If you are a camera or video professional, or enthusiast as I happen to be, finding this on the doorstep is simply Christmas.  Everything is Thunderbolt 4/USB 4 in some …

On the Test Bench today is a Yottamaster Y7000 Pro Gen4 4TB SSD and we are certain that you are asking yourselves that same question that we were not three weeks ago?  Who the heck is Yottamaster? Yottamaster is a China-based flash storage business that ‘focuses on providing professional-grade storage solutions for a wide range of users, including individuals, gamers …

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 …

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 …

Western Digital has recently released it’s newest Blue SN5000 NVMe SSD in a PCIe 4.0 design and, although there isn’t much to scream and shout about, this SSD is a bit different from the rest.  It relies on two separate types of memory, depending on the chosen size.  If you are buying the SN5000 from 500GB to the 2TB capacity, …

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 …

Given respect to portable storage, Sabrent is without a doubt the team to beat.  They hold no reservations when it comes to speed or capacity in a portable SSD. Not only have we seen this with their speedy 10Gbps, 20Gbps and Thunderbolt 3 drives performing up to 3GB/s but also, they are the only that would dare market a 16TB …

Advance in flash technology enables larger capacities to be attained in smaller SSDs such as the M.2.  When it all started in 2007, consumer SSD storage maxed out at 32GB with the SanDisk U5000 SSD.  That SSD in a Dell XPS started it all for us in fact, and that was a 2.5″ 9mm thick notebook SSD, something that has …
