CFExpress Type B cards have become a main stream item and will be here for some time.  We don’t feel the same with respect to CFExpress Type A as it is supported by few media devices in comparison and can’t come close to capacity or speed of CFExpress Type B.  Don’t get me wrong. CFExpress Type B has had its …

CF Express Type-A memory cards are a particularly niche product restricted for the most part to those newer Sony camera lovers; Sony A7S III, A1 and A7 IV.  It was that mid-choice between XQD and CFExpress Type-B but then XQD saw firmware upgrades enabling CFExpress Type B which left Type-A on its own.  Our first showing of Type-A cards saw …

Without a doubt one of the smallest and fastest storage solutions available today!

Let's Welcome the world's first PCIe 5.0 SSD outside of manufacturers hands...

Every now and then a product comes across our desk that we just know is going to be special…maybe even a game changer.  Such is the case with the newest Micron 2550 DRAMless PCIe 4.0 Client M.2 SSD that we are testing today and, quite frankly, it is hard to believe there is really so much in such a small …

Not only have we seen this with their speedy 10Gbps, 20Gbps and Thunderbolt 3 drives performing up to 3GB/s but also, they are the only that would dare market a 16TB …

I remember a few years back when I got my hands on the first SATA SSD and first experienced the difference between a hard drive and SSD.  Back then, part of my job was creating legal disclosures and completing a vetted and optimized 300 page report in Acrobat might take 30 to 45 minutes.  With an SSD it took 30 …

It is no secret that one of Sabrent’s top weapons in the storage world is the Rocket 4 Plus which has been around for some time now.  First introduced in 2020, the Rocket 4 Plus has been fine tuned to add a 4TB in addition to the original 1/2TB releases and then Sabrent even added a custom heatsink for PS5 …

Most SSD manufacturers have been around four to six times longer than Sabrent, but few can stand beside the company.   Alongside Phison, they have literally pushed the SSD industry forward at a pace that pretty much labels them pioneers and they have only been in this space a few years.  Any reviewer can display a pile of 4/8TB TLC/QLC SSDs, …
