Today’s review covers the Phison Pascari X200Z Gen5 SSDs in both 800GB and 1.6TB capacities.  We have two in our hot little hands in fact! Now, if you’ve been around long enough, that “Z” in the name might spark a bit of nostalgia. Yes, we’re talking about SLC flash. Credit where credit’s due: Samsung helped popularize the term. But for …

A short time ago we did a review of the MemBlaze Pblaze7 7A40 Gen5 Enterprise SSD and this SSD contained  T-Head Zhenyue 510 (also known as TH7700) 16-channel Gen5 SSD controller, along with 8-pieces of YMTC Xtacking 3.0 (X3-9070) 232-layer 3D TLC NAND flash memory capable of running at up to 2400MT/s.  That SSD was a one drive write per …

Although the PRO version offers higher maximum capacity, it …

There was a time when acquiring enterprise or data center SSDs meant going through a vendor rep, navigating complex configurations, and waiting for pricing. While that hands-on expertise still has its place, many businesses today simply want a fast, transparent, and frictionless way to get the hardware they need.
