Tag Archives: Gen 4

Just under two weeks ago, we brought you news of a new SanDisk client SSD that promised great Gen4 speeds, while at the same time providing very low active power usage in the area of 4 watts.  A high performance low power SSD is a very promising proposition as it provides us with laptops that now reach full Gen 4 …

Anyone who follows TSSDR knows that we rarely spend time on a review of something so common as a M.2 external enclosure.  Have I ever done one?  I have been trying to find just right rights words for my discovery.  Indispensable.  Crucial. (No…the adjective not the company) Critical. Key. Vital.  I am sure you get where I am going.  I …

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 …

There has always been a rather distinct division in the SSD world.  As much as there had to be a value driven SSD to move the typical SSD users over, there also became that demand for the top performing SSDs, and so there should be.  Flash media performance has changed our world exponentially.  Whether we realize it or not, every …

Price, performance and capacity.  Time and time again the teller of all SSD success lies on these three factors…typically  Well actually… rarely would you ever count a DRAM-less SSD in that grouping.  There was a time in the industry where the word DRAM-less was a dirty word and the mere thought of recommending such would create response large enough to …

Don’t really know where to start with this.  Every now and then reviewers have product sent to them that breaks the norm.  It does things it shouldn’t.  Next thing you know there is alot of jabbering back and forth and everyone runs their tests again wondering what the heck?!?!  The Crucial T500 Pro is on our Test Bench right now …

Without a doubt one of the smallest and fastest storage solutions available today!

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 …
