We’re entering an era where smaller, faster, and higher-capacity SSDs are no longer luxuries; they’re necessities. I experienced this firsthand last year while shopping for a new ultrabook. My shortlist of must-haves was clear: a compact form factor, support for at least a 4TB SSD, and PCIe 4.0 performance. Ideally, I wanted PCIe Gen5 speeds, but nothing on the market …

Our report today takes a close look at Corsair’s latest flagship SSD, the MP700 Pro XT, marking the first industry release of a drive featuring the Phison PS5028-E28 Gen5 NVMe 8-channel controller. We first offered a ‘performance preview‘ of this controller back in June, and more recently, we included our E28 sample in ‘The Ultimate Laptop SSD Battery Test.’ In …

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 …

If we look back several years, one couldn’t get an enterprise level SSD without direct company contact, and putting a face to business…maybe even with a firm handshake.  Things have changed and, as much as many might think easy access may be good or bad, we are seeing ‘off the shelf design’ far more often these days.  Right now, one …

This SSD is paired with the best components on the …

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, …

Patriot memory has been around since 1985 and were one of the early companies to have provided The SSD Review with an SSD sample for review.  It was the Patriot Torqx 2 SATA 2 128GB SSD and that was back on 14 May 2011…14 plus years ago. I reviewed that SSD and had to laugh when checking it out once …

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 …

Samsung introduced an SSD last week that just happens to be a ‘Samsung first’.  It is the Samsung 9100 Pro Gen 5 SSD and we have reviewed this previously in its 4TB capacity.  Samsung has a reputation of being one of the best in the industry and we might bet that their sales reflect such by a healthy margin.  Deservedly, …
