Without a doubt, our biggest takeaway from attending Computex 2025 in Taipei, Taiwan, this year was our introduction to Risteárd McSweeney of 360Technology.io.  We met Risteárd through his representation of KIOXIA at their exhibit and he has been able to accomplish something that we haven’t for several years, our review of  the consumer side of KIOXIA products.  In fact, our …

Last in our latest round of portable SSD reviews is the Crucial X10 8TB 20Gbps Portable SSD, and yes, we have this in our hot little hands.  It is actually quite a feat when you consider this SSD is less than half the size of your smartphone, yet can store all the data, video, music or pictures that you might …

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 …

It had to happen sooner or later.  I think we are the first to post such.   A DRAMless Gen5 SSD that reaches 14GB/s, over 2 million IOPS and stands right beside Gen5 DRAM based SSDs.  This is possible thorough BIWIN and the newest release of the Maxiotek MAP1806a 8-channel DRAMless NVMe SSD controller which you will probably be hearing much …

Sure signs of a storage geek… I haven’t been on the ground no more than 36 hours after returning on a 15hr hr flight from Computex Taipei and I am testing storage.  Worse yet… my initial testing for today’s report was only completed at 4:30am this morning… Yup extreme jet lag…  But look at this.  These two SSDs in this …

When a great flash product is introduced, it catches on.  This appears to be the case with the newest Kingston Fury Renegade G5 Gen5 SSD,  which contains SMI’s latest SM2508 controller.  I know most don’t really care what’s inside an SSD but a healthy knowledge of SSDs is a good thing.  The reason, of course, is that this SM2508 controller …

We’de like to say it’s been a long week evaluating and reporting on ProGrade Digitals newest 4.0 gear but, truth be told,  it is just nice to have this entire package in-hand to present it as it should be.  Our first report spoke to the PG 20 Pro Thunderbolt 4 Hub where we also looked at both accompanying CFExpress A …

If I could ask a company to put the complete package of storage products together, it would be exactly what ProGrade Digital has done.  It starts with a ProHub by which an assortment of different readers could connect by USB-C for high speed.  ProGrade Digital did just that with their PG20 Pro Hub and infused this with the latest in …

ProGrade Digital has upped the ante when it comes to CFExpress Cards and their latest offerings reach an incredible data transfer speed of over 3500MB/s with 1500MB/s sustained write speeds.  This all relies on the newest USB 4.0 standard and they have put together a complete package to include PG20 Pro Hub and CFExpress A/B card Readers which we reviewed …

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 …
