A rather interesting entry into the SSD world by KIOXIA as of late has many businesses watching closely.  The KIOXIA FL6 enters the same space as both the Samsung Z-NAND and Intel Optane SSDs and many believe the KIOXIA entry may make quite the impression with respect to comparable pricing.  Rather unique is the fact that the FL6 is KIOXIA’s …

A few days back, an unexpected package arrived at our doorstep via courier; an 8 TB Intel PCIe 4.0 D7-P5510 Data Center SSD. We wanted to throw something out there as a bit of an opener. A bit excited might be an understatement because of its size, speed, and the fact that we haven’t seen an Intel Gen 4 SSD …

It wasn’t too long ago that Kingston announced their newest DCP1000 enterprise NVMe SSD, in teaming up with Liqid, with incredible claims of 6.8GB/s performance and 1.25 million IOPS from a single device.  This HHHL AIC speaks of ultra low transactional latency, along with ultra-high throughput, making it the ideal choice for data centers looking for extreme performance.   Thanks …

Intel Optane Memory is Intel’ first phase in release of their Optane flash technology line that Intel hopes might revolutionize the flash industry.  At its most basic level, it is SSD storage that caches your hard drive with performance speeds up to 1.4GB/s, a speed that has yet to be seen for this type of storage in the industry.  The term ‘Optane’ is …

With the introduction of the Samsung XS1715, back in 2014, we were able to review our first ever PCIe SSD in a 2.5″ form factor. Utilizing the NVMe interface, it provided from some jaw dropping performance. At the time Intel also had (and still has) multiple 2.5″ form factor PCIe SSDs within their Intel SSD Data Center family lineup. These products, while they aren’t exactly bleeding edge any longer, answer …

A year ago Intel launched their first line up of NVMe SSDs. The DC P3700, DC P3600, and earlier this year they officially launched the DC P3500. As you might be lead to believe, the DC P3700 was their top tier product, which we were able to review, not only in the view of enterprise performance, but also from a …
