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 …

Gen 4 SSDs have been available for just over a year now and the two most talked about characteristics just happen to speak to the good and the bad. The good of course has had us watching storage speeds jumping from 3.5GB/s to 5GB/s and now 7GB/s becoming the norm. The bad is the fact that Gen 4 necessitated additional …

Today, we are reviewing the first publicly available 4TB M.2 SSD in the industry.  Yes.  You …
