A rather unfortunate and all too common thing we have seen throughout the years is substandard third party components within electronic equipment.  A perfect example might be a storage device in a laptop where, most often, the SSD choice has been poorly thought out by the company.  We have posted a lot of notebook and Ultrabook reviews throughout the years …

It is hard to believe but the SSD industry has reached an incredible 30.72TB in a single 2.5″ 24G SAS SSD and this could have only been accomplished with KIOXIA’s 5th generation 3D TLC flash memory.  This enterprise SSD is targeting high performance computing, AI, reliability and security for enterprise servers and storage and is FIPS² 140-2 certified and currently …

At least to me, it’s rather amazing how one of the most progressive inventions historically has been overlooked.  It is not electricity.  It is not the light bulb and it isn’t the telephone but you can bet that it plays a massive role within each in every moment of our lives.  It is NAND flash and NAND was invented by …

CES 2022 has come and gone once again and estimates are that this year may have experienced an attendance drop of at least 75% not including companies that cancelled last minute as a result of the latest Omicron COVID-19 variant.  It is unfortunate but, in so many ways, life goes on and we all have to adapt and carry on.  …

KIOXIA has introduces two key products in the flash world in the past few weeks, the EM6 NVMe-oF SSD for enterprise and the BG5 update for PCIe 4.0 which will be available to typical PC users as a client addition to pre-built PC systems.

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 …

Dell Technologies World was held this past week and it is a shining example of our ability to overcome and adapt. Where thousands of people would once have flown to DTW from every corner of the world, this years event was held virtually and available online.  Virtual keynotes.  Virtual booths.  Virtual announcements. Virtual product displays.  And of course access to …

I might be getting a bit old but I miss the introductory handshake or hug of our traditional CES meetings along with the personal nature of one on one conversation.  We have entered a new era that isn’t changing anytime soon and we have no choice but to hang on for the ride and make the best of things right …
