If there is anything we have discovered with the release of the Canon EOS R5 camera in the past two months, its the need for fast CFexpress Type B cards at a low temperature. Our first two reviews of CFexpress Type B looked at the Lexar Professional and SanDisk Extreme Pro CFexpressB cards, both of which are “Canon R5 approved”. …

Silicon Power UD70 2TB NVMe SSD Review
The Silicon Power UD70 NVMe SSD is based on the newest Micron QLC NAND flash memory and it fits right in. That is a pretty big statement considering there was a point when nobody thought QLC memory could stand up to the performance of previous gen TLC memory. But then again, the same was said of TLC memory in comparing …

Less than a week ago Canon introduced their newest camera lineup which was highlighted by the Canon EOS mirror-less R5 Digital camera. To anyone who is familiar with cameras, this may be the release of the decade. It is a 45 megapixel camera that will shoot video as large as 8K/30 or 4K/120 with RAW. Myself, I am moving up …

USB 3.2 Gen 2 with Type-C has become the norm as of late and more systems these days are being sold with USB-C or Thunderbolt included. Simply put, this means faster transfer speeds between your system and external storage, this storage being bus powered and not requiring a separate adapter and cable to power the device. ADATA has recently released …

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 …

If you have been following us for awhile, you might remember our review of the Apricorn Aegis Secure Key 3 flash drive that we did back in August of 2016. Back then, any flash drive at 480GB was something to get your hands on, much less one that would also qualify as one of the most secure flash drives worldwide. …

It is not often that we dedicate the time to looking at an SSD that has been reworked simply through firmware, but our review today of the Western Digital Black SN750 NVMe SSD is just that. Physically, this SSD holds the same level of components as the WD Black/SanDisk Extreme pro Report we did just about a year ago. We …
Read More »MyDigitalSSD BPX Pro NVMe SSD Review (2TB) – Absolutely Incredible Value
Unless you really dig into SSD technology and the inner workings of a SSD, many are probably totally how similar many SSDs really are. In fact, when the SSD just started breaking out so many years ago, it wouldn’t be unusual for two SSDs to be nothing more than a different brand sticker. Absolutely true. One manufacturer would successfully market …
Read More »Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe SSD Review (250GB/1TB) – Knockout Performance at a Value Price
Well… I am kind of speechless at just how I should be starting this report because, quite frankly, it has been rather unexpected. For years now, the SSD industry has had an unofficial divide between premium SSDs and those that are intended for the value point. Typically we can separate the big boys from the rest by their controller, controllers …
Read More »Samsung 970 EVO M.2 NVMe SSD Review (500GB/1TB) – Evo Becomes a Top Tier SSD
For some time now, Samsung has used a marketing approach with respect to flash media that accommodates both business and the consumer. They produce the Pro M.2 NVMe SSD series for business and media needs and the EVO M.2 NVMe family for consumer use, and at a relatively modest price point. One has top performance and the other…is a bit …
