It is not often that a new SSD company makes such an impact in today’s technology world, especially when it comes to SSDs. Sabrent has.  As much as SSD companies have come and gone, those that own the fabs have had the biggest advantage as they not only control flash pricing, but also, its availability.  To clarify, a fab is …

Every now and then we run across an SSD that makes us smile.  It is usually something that was received and didn’t get looked at right away and something that really opens our eyes when we finally get it on the test bench.  With respect to PCIe 3.0 M.2 SSDs, it would have to be something that gives the Samsung …

I find it a bit amusing that some 13 years since our first SSD review, flash technology is still at a point that we are trying to move the consumer from hard drive to SSD.  Knowing what we know about the difference between the two, It simply doesn’t make sense to me that PCs, especially laptops, are still selling with …

There is no question that, unless there is a specific task requirement for a new SSD, the consumer looks at price.  It’s no different than any other product really where a quality product and low price will always be a top seller.  In the electronic world, SSDs haven’t really gained the notoriety that the hard drive has, which is unfortunate. …

In our hands today is one of the few PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSDs available in the consumer flash industry. Surprisingly, its brand name is that of a relatively new company (at least when it comes to flash);  Sabrent.  PCIe 4.0 is the latest and greatest bringing data transfer speeds 5GB/s, and as media professionals know, these speeds  are everything …

There has been a great deal of change in SSD storage within recent years and it leaves much of us confused.  The core of this change has to do with a continuous upgrade cycle of NAND flash memory which seems happen every few months, resulting in new SSD products and many not understanding which SSD is the best for their …

Just when we thought the news of the Innogrit SSD Controller was going to take over the SSD industry, watch out!  ADATA not only had their sample of the ADATA Innogrit based Sage on display and running at 7GB/s, but they also had two other SSDs on display that were both Gen 4×4 and SMI products… one that listed specs …

Phison has received alot of credit as of late for their newest Gen 4×4 release of their PS5016-E16 controller.  It was the first to hit retail sales and we have posted reviews on both the Corsair MP600 and Seagate Firecuda 520, both SSDs using this controller and hitting unheard of data transfer speeds of up to 5GB/s. Both of these …

Wehave been in the game a longtime.  Things seem to cycle.  I remember years ago when we were at FMS and SMI entered the scene with their newest SSD controller and we pushed for release.  It was much the same with Phison and I can remember speaking to them at one point and saying they were great at showing upcoming …

It has been a few years now, but thinking back I am sure there are those that remember the hard drive and all that went along with it.  Slow start times, heat, noise and an all around much slower PC experience, especially for those that work in media.  The largest jump we have seen in storage is without a doubt …
