Perhaps one of the most admirable traits about ADATA and their gaming brand XPG throughout the years is their willingness to incorporate a wide range of SSD components in their products.  We don’t think that there is another that comes remotely close, most latching on to a certain manufacturer and establishing long lasting partnerships.  Thistrait  is the case with respect …

The latest and greatest in SSDs is PCIe 4 and the extreme performance that comes with it, presently showing off speeds up to 7GB/s.  Accompanying these high power and rather expensive SSDs is something that we’ve really never had to tackle in the SSD industry, at least not to this extent…heat. At least up until today, Gen 4 SSDs had …

A few weeks back, we did a review on the ADATA Swordfish NVMe, a new release SSD that was intended as a value solution for the every day PC user, possibly transitioning to the SSD.  That SSD was accredited with our Top Value award as it provided decent performance at a low price, and with a 5-year limited warranty to …

There is no question that, unless there is a specific task requirement for a new SSD, the consumer looks at price.  It’s no different than any other product really where a quality product and low price will always be a top seller.  In the electronic world, SSDs haven’t really gained the notoriety that the hard drive has, which is unfortunate. …

On the test bench today is the XPG Spectrix S40G M.2 NVMe RGB SSD.  RGB has become very popular in the last few years and the fact that this SSDs RGB package can be configured with XPG’s own software package is a bonus, as well as its configuration being part and parcel with some motherboards. As a storage reviewer, however, …

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 …

Wehave been in the game a longtime.  Things seem to cycle.  I remember years ago when we were at FMS and SMI entered the scene with their newest SSD controller and we pushed for release.  It was much the same with Phison and I can remember speaking to them at one point and saying they were great at showing upcoming …

USB 3.2 Gen 2 with Type-C has become the norm as of late and more systems these days are being sold with USB-C or Thunderbolt included.  Simply put, this means faster transfer speeds between your system and external storage, this storage being bus powered and not requiring a separate adapter and cable to power the device.  ADATA has recently released …

It has been a bit since we posted a review on a 2.5″ notebook SATA3 SSD and that comes with the territory I guess.  We get caught up with the latest and greatest, and we are always amazed that M.2 SSDs the size of a stick of gum can reach mind blowing speeds of NVMe at 3.5GB/s.  Nevertheless, SATA3 SSDs …

ADATA is announcing their latest external solid-state drive (SSD) offering, designated as the SD600Q.  Their newest external SSD offers excellent performance, delivering sequential read and write speeds of up to 440MB/s, which is some 4X the performance of external mechanical hard drives (HDDs). The SD600Q features 3D NAND Flash memory to provide its excellent performance and superior reliability.  The SD600Q …
