Samsung’s newest SSD release is the 990EVO, a PCIe 5.0 SSD that runs at the lower end of PCIe 4.0 speeds.  We have been running it through our test regimen for the last week or so and I have to say this SSD is a bit of an odd duck.  It is forwards and backwards compatible as one might expect …

It is no secret with SSD advance that performance and stability have been the driving force behind the wheel.  Speed rules and if we can achieve that while maintaining data integrity and longevity in our storage device, we will keep pushing forward.  Flash technology accounts for so much in our daily activities that it goes totally unnoticed.  We have become …

It’s been just over a month since we posted the latest in NAND flash technology with our Micron 2550 DRAM-less Gen 4 SSD Review where we saw a Gen 4 SSD run cooler and faster than we ever had before. It was (and still is) an ideal candidate for ‘PS5 Gaming SSD of the Year’ (if you can get your …

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 …

One of the oldest players in the SSD world is Samsung.  They have been around since the beginning and were the first to release SSDs on the retail side way back in April of 2008, right there beside SanDisk.  Back then, we had the Samsung 64GB SLC SATA II SSD priced at a high of $1130… for 64GB!  Flash memory …
