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 on the Test Bench today is Corsairs newest MP700 PCIe 5.0 2TB NVMe M.2 …

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… …

Several weeks ago, Lexar sent us their biggest and brightest 2TB Lexar Professional Gold CFExpress B Card and, well, it has found a permanent home in my Canon EOS R5 mirrorless digital full frame.  That wasn’t an easy feat considering I had relied solely on the ProGrade Cobalt 650GB card since its release 2 1/2 …

We couldn’t help but notice the excitement in the last day or so as Linus posted a rather detailed Crucial Gen 5 T700 NVMe report, and kudos for snagging that as well as the detailed SSD breakdown for those not familiar with SSDs.  It is a great video. Something struck us a bit odd though, …

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 …

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’ …

Sometimes small things surprise us.  Samsung just pulled this off with their newest T7 Shield which has just been released in a massive 4TB capacity.  You see… this is not typical of Samsung to push out such high capacity storage as it goes against their business model.  I know this as I had a very …

CFExpress Type B cards have become a main stream item and will be here for some time.  We don’t feel the same with respect to CFExpress Type A as it is supported by few media devices in comparison and can’t come close to capacity or speed of CFExpress Type B.  Don’t get me wrong. CFExpress …

CF Express Type-A memory cards are a particularly niche product restricted for the most part to those newer Sony camera lovers; Sony A7S III, A1 and A7 IV.  It was that mid-choice between XQD and CFExpress Type-B but then XQD saw firmware upgrades enabling CFExpress Type B which left Type-A on its own.  Our first …
