It’s not often that we take the time to look at something with a cost of only $24.02 and we’re no different with any reviewer; such a review isn’t time and cost effective. I am a bit different though. When I discover something I might keep, or something that I feel others should know about, I take the time to …

Sabrent Thunderbolt 3 to NVMe M.2 SSD Tool-Free Enclosure (EC-T3NS) Review
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 …

Advance in flash technology enables larger capacities to be attained in smaller SSDs such as the M.2. When it all started in 2007, consumer SSD storage maxed out at 32GB with the SanDisk U5000 SSD. That SSD in a Dell XPS started it all for us in fact, and that was a 2.5″ 9mm thick notebook SSD, something that has …
Read More »Corsair MP600 Core 2TB PCIe 4 NVMe SSD Review – QLC Memory with a Bite
One of the most obvious changes in moving from PCIe3 to PCIe4 SSDs has been the heat itself. We actually find it a bit unique, as AMD Ryzen and Intel 11th Gen laptops and ultrabooks have been out for some time, but they contain the much cooler PCIe3 SSDs. It is no different in desktop use as there isn’t a …

On our test bench today is the TeamGroup T-FORCE CARDEA Ceramic C440 Gen 4 NVMe M.2 SSD. This SSD sports an off-white color pattern with gold branding and is a bit different than other SSDs we have tested, in that it contains a ceramic plate heatsink. This is a bit unusual as, well at least until Sabrent came along with …

Up real early this morning to write about the Phison E18 NVMe SSD Controller as there have been more than a few readers that have reminded us more than a few times that the E18 is coming over the past few months. Well the Phison E18 hit key reviewers hands yesterday and trust me when I say it is gaining …

It needs to be said. Having a Gen 4 SSD in hand with speeds of 5GB/s in a 4TB capacity is rather special. Many might never find need for such speed and capacity, but as a media professional, this is heaven. My camera of choice is a Canon EOS R5 and I only shoot RAW which means each shot is …

The latest and greatest in SSDs is PCIe 4 and the extreme performance that comes with it, presently showing off speeds up to 7GB/s. Accompanying these high power and rather expensive SSDs is something that we’ve really never had to tackle in the SSD industry, at least not to this extent…heat. At least up until today, Gen 4 SSDs had …

One of the most diverse and inclusive names in the PC business is Corsair. Their Force Series SSDs were first introduced in 2010, but wait, Corsair’s gaming portfolio started way back in 1994. Corsair has always been a part of our system builds and my personal favorite to this day is their iCue software, although a quick look at our …
