Apologies if we did not make the announcement but we have landed!  The SSD Review is on the ground in Taipei, Taiwan, and preparing for Computex 2025.  This is our first return to the event since 2019 and we are proud to provide special recognition to SMI who has sponsored us for this event.  If you would like to meet …

A bit amusing this Computex was our completing a briefing with ADATA only to return once again to receive further confirmation on a bit of information that truly shows the capacity value of next gen 96 layer memory.  On display was ADATA’ newest NGSFF M.3 form factor SSD, the IM3P33EC Enterprise SSD which is a PCIe Gen 3 x 4 …

If you are a fan of performance, you might have noticed that there is battle brewing between rival competitors with PCIe Gen 3.1 NVMe performance above 3GB/s becoming the standard.  Samsung may have held title for some time but latest offerings by Phison and SMI are destined to add to the fight.  We had learned of SMI’ 2262EN controller in …

JMicron has recently introduced their newest product in the form of the JMS583, a USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10G) to PCIe/NVME bridge chip which is the first of its kind worldwide and opens up all sorts of storage ideas. At Computex this week, we saw this chip on a M.2 adapter board with a USB Type C connector, the solution …

This morning at Computex 2018 Taipei, Maxiotek had a 4TB M.2 SSD on display, displaying their newest MAP0901 NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 controller.   Aside from learning that this SSD was a two sided SSD and capable of accommodating all of the most recent memory configurations, little information was available during our visit.  We might bet that QLC would be a …

It has always been said that what goes around comes around.  Looking back historically at the SSD industry, everyone knew that, at some point, the NAND manufacturers would force smaller third party SSD manufacturers to cut prices drastically…or disappear.  And so they did.  Times change though and this year at Computex 2018, Taipei, we are seeing what many might consider …

ADATA has never been short of SSD variation at any tech events we have covered in recent years, consistently displaying drives with a variation of controllers, memory, as well as performance designed for any number of tasks.  This year at CES was no different.  Let’s jump in with their very own Gamers SSD right off: GAMMIX S10 GAMING SSD Based …

As much as the common theme with SSD manufacturers has been to ‘wait for the Flash Memory Summit’ at Computex 2015 this year, Phison seems to be ready to make serious position play in the SSD space, displaying a number of SSD designs at their suite.  First and foremost, we were more than happy to see two NVMe SSDs based …

This year at Computex 2014 in Taipei, Taiwan, Computex held what could be considered one of the greatest invite tickets to any tech event for some time, The Kingston Product Release and HyperX OC Takeover at the Kelti Tower in Taipei. We have already covered this event here, here and here, but thought we might return once more as there …

As funny as it may seem, a close friend in the industry was speaking to me regarding the LSI SF3700 controller at a function yesterday where he identified the possibility that LSI SandForce just may miss an entire generation of controllers should their SF3000 be delayed any longer.  Nobody knows that frustration more than the manufacturers who are at Computex …
