One might be inclined to think a company exudes confidence with respect to data storage when the first line in their product brief is, ‘The world’s fastest data center SSD’.  After all, storage speed these days, especially in the enterprise and data center world, is much more complex than a simple high throughput read and write or high read IOPS, …

Micron’s latest addition to the enterprise and data center market is the 7600 Gen5 SSD, offered in two variants. The 7600 PRO is optimized for read-intensive workloads like database queries or web servers, while the 7600 MAX, which we have on the test bench today, is engineered for mixed read/write applications. 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. With AI taking center stage across industries, this shift toward streamlined …

In any environment, it is always nice to find a product that qualifies as one of those hidden gems you would never expect to find. With respect to travel, it may be a little known vacation spot.  Or it might be a local coffee shop that only a few know about in your town.  Or if you have recently bought …

TSSDR has recently moved back into the realm of enterprise and data center SSD reviews after having been absent from this space for some time.  Looking back in fact, our last enterprise report…true enterprise report…was way back in February 2018 by Sean Webster.  It was on the Intel SSD DC P4510 Gen3 Enterprise SSD and at that point in time, …

It is great to see well deserved credit where credit is due.  Yesterday at Flash Memory Summit 2025, our friends at KIOXIA were awarded the ‘Best in Show’ for their LC9 Series 245.76 TB Enterprise SSD and myself and Jon Coulter from Tweaktown were right there when the award arrived at the KIOXIA booth!  Who chose this picture? The LC9 …

We were the first to test enterprise SSDs, beginning with Paul Alcorn’s review of the Areca 1880ix-12 PCIe 6G SAS RAID Controller way back in March of 2011.  We have been fortunate to have had some of the worlds best enterprise SSD reviewers to include, Paul Alcorn, Chris Ryan and Sean Webster, as well as maybe a ghost writer or …

Once again, we are tackling yet another SSD manufactured by BIWIN and, when we check out Amazon, we can actually find the ‘FA’ line of SSDs available for sale in Canada and the USA.  BIWIN is the official licensee and manufacturer of Acer and HP brand products and, as we had stated in our review of the BIWIN NV7400 and …

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 …
