Some time ago we posted an article on the latest and greatest in CFExpress Type B cards with our Lexar Professional Diamond 128GB and its unique ability to provide a sustained write performance of just under 1600MB/s.  After all, sustained write speeds are everything in the world of digital media and, earlier CFExpress Type B cards that could not hold …

It’s been just over a month since we posted the latest in NAND flash technology with our Micron 2550 DRAM-less Gen 4 SSD Review where we saw a Gen 4 SSD run cooler and faster than we ever had before. It was (and still is) an ideal candidate for ‘PS5 Gaming SSD of the Year’ (if you can get your …

Without a doubt one of the smallest and fastest storage solutions available today!

Let's Welcome the world's first PCIe 5.0 SSD outside of manufacturers hands...

Every now and then a product comes across our desk that we just know is going to be special…maybe even a game changer.  Such is the case with the newest Micron 2550 DRAMless PCIe 4.0 Client M.2 SSD that we are testing today and, quite frankly, it is hard to believe there is really so much in such a small …

I remember a few years back when I got my hands on the first SATA SSD and first experienced the difference between a hard drive and SSD.  Back then, part of my job was creating legal disclosures and completing a vetted and optimized 300 page report in Acrobat might take 30 to 45 minutes.  With an SSD it took 30 …

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, …
