Over the years, we have compiled several SSD reviews that might not be the norm to most; secure SSDs.  We aren’t speaking of software contained portable SSDs that enable one to activate that devices hardware encryption, but rather, those that don’t rely on software, those that cannot be broken into and even if someone could, those that are filled solid …

Samsung has been around for some time now.   In fact they were one the first to spread their wings in the consumer flash industry.  Just like any other manufacturer, there have been a few speed bumps along the way but Samsung has established themselves as a quality storage company for more years than one might consider.  Their external storage collection …

Sometimes small things surprise us.  Samsung just pulled this off with their newest T7 Shield which has just been released in a massive 4TB capacity.  You see… this is not typical of Samsung to push out such high capacity storage as it goes against their business model.  I know this as I had a very lengthy conversation with Samsung in …

Given respect to portable storage, Sabrent is without a doubt the team to beat.  They hold no reservations when it comes to speed or capacity in a portable SSD. Not only have we seen this with their speedy 10Gbps, 20Gbps and Thunderbolt 3 drives performing up to 3GB/s but also, they are the only that would dare market a 16TB …

The Samsung Portable T7 Shield is a USB 3.2 Gen 2 SSD that will transfer data at up to 1GB/s with capacities up to 2TB, a decent price point and 3-year warranty.

We have reviewed several security-positioned portable SSDs over the years and one of the most common things we get is that companies are awaiting their FIPS certification.  This doesn’t speak negative to the product being reviewed whatsoever but, when we get a truly certified product in hand, it is nice.  Today, we are looking at the Secure Data SecureDrive KP …

There seems to be much confusion with respect to USB speeds these days, and it’s all the result of the newest USB 3.2 Gen 2 design.  The standard for the newest USB release is USB 3.2 Gen 2 which will attain data transfer speed of 10Gbps (1GB/s) with newer compatible systems.  A step up from that is USB 3.2 Gen …

Tool-Free.  We happened to read this this in both our first dual enclosure review that we had posted earlier, as well as that of which we are about to post.  That is so key in manufacturing portable SSD enclosures and, at least I can admit I have spent hours looking for that small SSD screw that just fell on the …

On our test Bench today is the Sabrent Rugged Thunderbolt 3 to Dual NVMe M.2 SSD Tool-Free Enclosure. It is a bit different than most as it allows one to install and work with two M.2 SSDs, vice one.  Unlike similar Thunderbolt 3 enclosures, the user has the ability two create and use logical drives from two SSDs, during which …

Thunderbolt 3 has been around for some time now and is the preferred choice by so many media professionals. Its data transfer speeds might reach 2.8GB/s but, more importantly, Thunderbolt 3 can be daisy chained and its 40Gbps speeds allow countless different methods of port transfer simultaneously.  Because of this, the concept of external docks allows much more in a …
