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 …

Without a doubt, the loudest a reader can be in the SSD world is when a company dares to switch hardware in their SSDs without telling anyone. This goes back years and, well, few have escaped the wrath of online ridicule when they are caught doing such. I have always been the bad guy and still believe that manufacturers have …

An unexpected surprise arrived at our offices this Christmas break in the guise of a PCIe 4.0 DRAM-less SSD. It was only a matter of time but there has been some clever thought put into this drive.

One of the oldest names in SSDs is Kingston. One might not expect such as Kingston, by all sense of the term, is a third party manufacturer…or distributor. Unlike Samsung, WD/SanDisk, Intel, Kioxia, Micron, SKHynix and a few others, they do not actually own a fab that ‘grows’ the silicon ingots to manufacture NAND wafers. Unbelievably, the original Kingston SSDNow …

So I was in a conversation this week where many were speaking of the success of the Phison E18 controller and I stepped away from the crowd for a bit and had to ask, “Yes but will this last?” Historically, we have watched different SSD companies, and more specifically, third party SSD controller companies step into the limelight with a …
Read More »Crucial P5 Plus PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD Review
If there is anything we have learned about Micron/Crucial over the years, it is that they like to sit in the weeds. Never really being the first to jump out with a new product, the Crucial norm is to slip a product into the market once the market has become comfortable at that level. When considering the success Crucial/Micron has …
Read More »Plextor M10P 2TB Gen4 NVMe SSD Review – A Rock Star with Unheard of Small File Transfer Speeds
Perhaps one of the odd ducks in the SSD space has always been Plextor. Their SSDs have always been amongst the best, but for some reason, they never gained the recognition they deserved. That’s not just my thought I am sure as reviewers historically have had nothing but good to say about Plextor SSDs. They are one of the very …
