CFExpress Cards have become commonplace in the media industry for some time now and, as a media professional, I cannot speak highly enough as to their value.  Its blazing speed within cameras such as my Canon EOS R5 allows me to find shots that I might have never prior.  Not only does it allow one to find the perfect shot …

It is always refreshing when we get something on our bench that is new…maybe even a bit out of the ordinary.  On our Test Bench today is the SK hynix Platinum P51 Gen5 2TB SSD and this SSD is as proprietary as they come.  The controller, DRAM buffer chip and NAND memory are all SK hynix manufactured and this SSD …

Just under two weeks ago, we brought you news of a new SanDisk client SSD that promised great Gen4 speeds, while at the same time providing very low active power usage in the area of 4 watts.  A high performance low power SSD is a very promising proposition as it provides us with laptops that now reach full Gen 4 …

Sitting here doing some testing and this years highest pile of SSDs seem to belong to SMI, all containing the SMI SM2508 Gen5 8-channel SSD controller that has taken the industry by storm.  The newest sample is rather interesting and there aren’t any reviews for it just yet. It is the Transcend MTE260S Gen5 2TB SSD and don’t ask what …

I am somewhat of a laptop nut.  Part and parcel to extensive travel for The SSD Review, my laptop has to be two things; high performing and it must have an amazing battery life.  Add to that the fact that I want a big OLED screen that I can flip, USB4 ports in something around 3 lbs and there was …

Our review this morning of the KIOXIA Exceria Plus G2 2TB Portable SSD comes on the heals of our last KIOXIA Review of the Exceria Plus G4 Gen5 M.2 SSD just a few weeks back.  Our reviews of KIOXIA products are rather unique as they are Europe and Asia based products that may or may not be predominant in North …

Hot off its test run this morning and in our hot little hands  (well not really) is the latest Crucial consumer offering, the Crucial T710 Gen5 2TB SSD.  This SSD is  Crucial/Micron’s first ‘consumer’ release with their latest 276-layer G9 3D TLC NAND flash memory.  This move improves upon the previous G8 232-layer 3D TLC NAND flash memory and, well, …

It is not often that a new SSD brings alot to the table.  Sure, many might introduce new memory, or a  new SSD controller, but it is rare that we are introduced to an SSD that literally changes the landscape of what is possiible with flash media.  The Micron 2600 Gen 4 QLC SSD we are testing today does just …

So if I were to speak of the best in PCIe 5.0 SSDs going mainstream, it would have to be the efforts and success in finding a higher performing yet cooler storage solution.  This wasn’t so much the case with Gen4 and I think we seemed to get used to the fact that Gen4 SSDs, for the longest time, ran …

The Lexar brand has been around for some time, and in fact, our first mention of Lexar goes all the way back to one of our first Storage Visions meetings in Las Vegas some 14 years ago.  Lexar was originally a Micron brand but was acquired by Longsys Electronics in 2017 and Longsys has built on that brand name since, …
