There is a new SSD that is about to make its mark and it changes things.  It is the mSSD, short for microSSD, and Longsys holds the patented IP (intellectual property) with Lexar already pushing forward with their Play X Gen4 SSD and AI Storage Core releases.  It has been discussed at some length by other companies, however we have …

What better way to start CES this year than to spend time with Lexar, members of the Argentina Football Team and to actually get a hands on with the World Cup!  Lexar announced their global partnership with AFA at an amazing release event in Las Vegas’ Museum of Illusions, tying this into some amazing ground breaking storage product releases.  We …

The Lexar brand has been around for some time, and in fact, our first mention of Lexar goes all the way back to one of our first Storage Visions meetings in Las Vegas some 14 years ago.  Lexar was originally a Micron brand but was acquired by Longsys Electronics in 2017 and Longsys has built on that brand name since, …

Several weeks ago, Lexar sent us their biggest and brightest 2TB Lexar Professional Gold CFExpress B Card and, well, it has found a permanent home in my Canon EOS R5 mirrorless digital full frame.  That wasn’t an easy feat considering I had relied solely on the ProGrade Cobalt 650GB card since its release 2 1/2 years ago, but this Lexar …

Up on the Test Bench today we have the latest and greatest from Lexar, the Lexar Professional NM800 Pro NVMe SSD.  This SSD has a very compact heatsink which makes it the perfect addition to a Sony Playstation 5 gaming system.  Let’s add to that the fact that the makeup of this SSD isn’t your run of the mill copycat …

One of the biggest advances at the forefront of digital technology in the past few years has to do with data storage and the introduction of CFExpress cards.  As an avid photographer and digital enthusiast, myself… I wonder what took so long and… in fact, I wonder why the digital industry has lagged so far behind when we consider the …

If you are a gamer or media manipulator, data transfer speeds are key.  There are two options that speak to data transfer speed in external storage, these being Thunderbolt 3/4 or the newest USB 3.2.  We see fairly few Thunderbolt devices these days as they are the more expensive of the two when considering external SSDs.  They are faster, however. …

It hasn’t been that long now since the introduction of CF Express Type B cards have pushed storage performance to 1750MB/s in the media industry.
