It is no secret with SSD advance that performance and stability have been the driving force behind the wheel.  Speed rules and if we can achieve that while maintaining data integrity and longevity in our storage device, we will keep pushing forward.  Flash technology accounts for so much in our daily activities that it goes totally unnoticed.  We have become …

It seems like so long since we posted our review of the Phison PS5026 – E26 PCIe 5.0 reference design where the world got its first look at the incredible performance of a Gen 5 SSD.  Hot off the press on the Test Bench today is Corsairs newest MP700 PCIe 5.0 2TB NVMe M.2 SSD and, if you would believe …

One of the oldest names in the flash business is Micron/Crucial and our own relationship with them goes way back to 2010.  Back then, we were one of the first to review their Crucial C300 RealSSD in a 64GB capacity, with lightning fast speeds of  357MB/s read and 76MB/s write, and a price of $139.99… for a 64GB SSD.

TBolt 3/4 brings …

It has been some time since we have posted a Test Bench build so we thought we would start the new year off right by introducing the world to our latest and greatest Intel based Test Bench. As much as we hoped this might be our introduction to Gen 5 SSDs and the incredible speed they provide, timing was just …
