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 …

Most SSD manufacturers have been around four to six times longer than Sabrent, but few can stand beside the company.   Alongside Phison, they have literally pushed the SSD industry forward at a pace that pretty much labels them pioneers and they have only been in this space a few years.  Any reviewer can display a pile of 4/8TB TLC/QLC SSDs, …

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 …

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 …

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 …

There is a long standing belief that buying a DRAM-less SSD is just wrong.  As much as this might hold water prior to and for those users not using Windows 10, it doesn’t for those looking for value and performance in storage today.  Without getting too complicated, NVMe and Windows 10 allow the SSD to create a Host Memory Buffer …

Back in December, we posted our review on the one and two terabyte versions of the newest Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD, both of which received our Editor’s Choice as being one of the best available in the industry.  Breaching 7GB/s read speeds and coming very close to that with write performance is not an easy …

Tool-Free.  We happened to read this this in both our first dual enclosure review that we had posted earlier, as well as that of which we are about to post.  That is so key in manufacturing portable SSD enclosures and, at least I can admit I have spent hours looking for that small SSD screw that just fell on the …

On our test Bench today is the Sabrent Rugged Thunderbolt 3 to Dual NVMe M.2 SSD Tool-Free Enclosure. It is a bit different than most as it allows one to install and work with two M.2 SSDs, vice one.  Unlike similar Thunderbolt 3 enclosures, the user has the ability two create and use logical drives from two SSDs, during which …
