In late 2020, Canon introduced the EOS R5 mirrorless camera and that set off a frenzy of companies rushing to market the latest and greatest in CF Express Type B memory cards. The sheer speed of CF Express B moved digital media into a new realm where photographers and videographers could capture moments that were once impossible. Don’t get me …

TeamGroup T-Create Classic Gen 4 SSD Review – Testing our New Z590 Gen 4 Test Bench
TeamGroup has introduced a brand new PCIe 4 SSD to the market, one with much the same physical components as the Patriot Viper VP4100 and Sabrent Rocket Gen 4 SSDs introduced some time ago. Our look at the T-Create today will be on a fresh new Test Bench, and one in which we had hoped would become part of our …
Read More »Samsung 980 NVMe Gen 3 SSD Review – DRAM-Less SSDs Go Mainstream…and they are fast!
Recommend a DRAM-less SSD on any website forum or product purchase site and you have just committed storage suicide. There is a ‘cancel-culture’ that will hunt you down and ensure that you never post without their jumping in ever again. People who have never had a DRAM-less SSD in their hand will hound you endlessly because, well, Linus said not …
Read More »Intel SSD6 670P NVMe M.2 SSD Review (2TB) – Unbelievable QLC Performance
Many many not consider how SSDs have changed from generation to generation but, throughout the years, the push forward has been increased on capacity and top tier performance. In order to achieve a larger capacity, the flash memory footprint has to be reduced and layers stacked, much like we see in apartment buildings, for the most part. The challenge of …

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 …

Back in December, we posted our review on the one and two terabyte versions of the newest Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD, both of which received our Editor’s Choice as being one of the best available in the industry. Breaching 7GB/s read speeds and coming very close to that with write performance is not an easy …

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 …

One of the most obvious changes in moving from PCIe3 to PCIe4 SSDs has been the heat itself. We actually find it a bit unique, as AMD Ryzen and Intel 11th Gen laptops and ultrabooks have been out for some time, but they contain the much cooler PCIe3 SSDs. It is no different in desktop use as there isn’t a …
Read More »Samsung 870 EVO SATA3 SSD Review (1/4TB) – Are Notebook SSDs Still a Thing? U Bet!
We are often amused at the progression of SSDs throughout the years. Even today, check anywhere and you can easily find information on the fastest SSD, or even the highest capacity SSD, but what about SSD form factors? Form factor progression has seen SATA 3 notebook SSDs grow into to PCIe SSDs, AIC, mSATA, U2 and then to what was …

On our test bench today is the TeamGroup T-FORCE CARDEA Ceramic C440 Gen 4 NVMe M.2 SSD. This SSD sports an off-white color pattern with gold branding and is a bit different than other SSDs we have tested, in that it contains a ceramic plate heatsink. This is a bit unusual as, well at least until Sabrent came along with …
