So this is our third report on a KIOXIA retail SSD and the same thing seems hitting me hard.  This SSD is not available ‘officially’ through KIOXIA retail sales as of yet.  We can find availability of it on Amazon (which is a great thing) but one needs to be careful as this may be from an out of country …

There is a new SSD that is about to make its mark and it changes things.  It is the mSSD, short for microSSD, and Longsys holds the patented IP (intellectual property) with Lexar already pushing forward with their Play X Gen4 SSD and AI Storage Core releases.  It has been discussed at some length by other companies, however we have …

These are the lowest 4/8 TB prices we have seen to date, and as such, they deserve a post!

I reviewed that SSD and had to laugh when checking it out once …

Samsung introduced an SSD last week that just happens to be a ‘Samsung first’.  It is the Samsung 9100 Pro Gen 5 SSD and we have reviewed this previously in its 4TB capacity.  Samsung has a reputation of being one of the best in the industry and we might bet that their sales reflect such by a healthy margin.  Deservedly, …

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 …
