The ADATA SE920 is a high-end external SSD that is primarily aimed at users who want to combine the highest transfer rates with the latest interface technology. With its USB4 connection, it is designed to achieve data rates in practice that were previously reserved for internal PCIe drives. This makes it part of a new device class that attempts to [...]
Today’s review is about the ORICO IG740 Pro with 2 TB of storage space, an NVMe SSD that is clearly aimed at users who expect appealing performance in everyday use and professional applications. Before I discuss the technical details and measurement results, however, it is worth taking a look at the manufacturer and the background of this [...]
Another cube, because it’s cube week again. You have to go through it (again), because many manufacturers are currently entering the NAS market and apparently Beelink also wants to get in on the act. Instead of hard disks, this model relies entirely on SSDs, with 6 of them being able to be installed despite the small size. However [...]
The Kingston KC3000 is currently one of the most powerful PCIe 4.0 SSDs on the market. After all, that’s what they say. With capacities from 512 GB to 4 TB, it covers a broad spectrum. The 2 TB version is particularly popular, as it offers enough storage space for games, video editing and demanding applications without reaching the price [...]
Während Nintendo gerade erst microSD Express als technischen Fortschritt für die kommende Switch 2 feiert, setzt China bereits den nächsten Nadelstich: Eine neue Mini-SSD im Format 15×17 mm, intern bei Herstellern wie Biwin als „1517“ bezeichnet, bietet nicht nur bis zu 2 TB Kapazität, sondern ist auch drei Mal schneller als der microSD [...]
Do you remember my OBS server build? That was the project where I finally had a practical excuse not only to test an absurdly large hard disk, but also to use it productively. The WD Red Pro with its 26 terabyte capacity has been playing a major role there for some time now, now also privately. If you haven’t read the article on the server [...]
The PBlaze7 7A40 is a latest-generation enterprise SSD designed for maximum IOPS performance, high energy efficiency and low access times with uncompromising data security. As an NVMe SSD with PCIe 5.0 connectivity, it is aimed specifically at data centers, cloud platforms, high-frequency trading and database-intensive applications. It combines a [...]
At a time when data covers every situation in life like an aggressive mold and even the most banal Excel spreadsheet can be blown up into “confidential information”, TeamGroup has come around the corner with an SSD that promises a big digital wipeout – at the touch of a button. The P250Q is not an SSD for gamers, YouTubers or [...]
The EXCERIA PLUS G4 is KIOXIA’s first consumer SSD with a PCIe Gen 5 interface and currently costs around 183 euros. It uses the cheaper Phison PS5031-E31T controller and 218-layer BiCS 8 TLC NAND to achieve transfer rates of up to 10,000 MB/s for read and 8,200 MB/s for write operations (for the 2 TB version) for sequential accesses. The [...]
Biwin is a Chinese manufacturer specializing in the development and production of storage solutions. The company offers a wide range of products, including solid-state drives (SSDs), DRAM modules and flash memory. Biwin is active both as an OEM partner for well-known brands and under its own product lines such as “Black Opal”. The [...]
Samsung jumps on the PCIe 5.0 bandwagon and presents a new generation of high-end SSDs with the 9100 PRO series. The key data sounds impressive: up to 14,800 MB/s for sequential reading and 13,400 MB/s for writing. The spectrum of storage sizes also ranges from 1 TB to a whopping 8 TB. However, there is often a gap between marketing promises and [...]
We have already looked at some of this manufacturer’s backup and storage solutions in the past, but so far they have all been based on HDDs. Falling prices for SSDs, requirements for low latency with high throughput and perhaps even portability have fueled the popularity of “all-flash” solutions. And TerraMaster naturally [...]
Nowadays, there is an impressive variety of storage media from a wide range of manufacturers. But with so much choice, the question arises: which product is right for you? The possibilities seem endless. With the introduction of the new T-FORCE GA PRO PCIe 5.0 SSD, TEAMGROUP is expanding its popular T-FORCE range and could win over one or two [...]
With the Corsair MP700 Elite, Corsair offers a more economical alternative to the MP700 PRO SE already tested and uses the new expansion stage of the SSD design with the Phison E31T and fast Kioxia NAND for still above-average speed. Today I’m testing the 2 TB version WITH cooler, which unfortunately has only just arrived. So you don’t [...]
In addition to various new NAS models, TerraMaster recently introduced an external housing for up to eight data carriers. Personally, I’m more interested in centrally available network storage so that I can access it from several devices, but these USB solutions also have their advantages, of course. So let’s take a look at the D8 [...]
A few months ago, we already presented and tested its big brother, the F4-424 NAS. But since not everyone has enough data to fill four hard disks, there is of course also a 2-bay version. As the two models hardly differ technically, we also take a look at the new TOS6 beta. Click here for the test reports of the 4-bay version and its predecessor [...]
When it comes to the subject of SSDs, you always hear a wide variety of opinions. With or without DRAM? The SLC cache must be large and, above all, an SSD must be able to do everything. From simple office to gaming to total servitude in the workstation sector. The latter in particular places extreme demands on the SSD and this is then reflected in [...]
It has now been almost 3 months since we took a look at the NAS products of an unexpected new competitor on the market. So it’s a good time to take another look at UGOS and hopefully present the improvements that have appeared in the meantime. And since the 6-bay version is now also available, we’ll start with this one. If you are more [...]
I got the obvious out of the way right from the title, so we can concentrate fully on the essentials … mostly. Because with this self-proclaimed NAS and router, this previously unknown manufacturer has brought something really interesting to the market. So let’s take a look together at what this little guy has to offer. Packaging and [...]
With the T-FORCE Z540, TeamGroup is selling its own NVMe SSD with PCIe Gen. 5, based on the penultimate iteration of the reference boards for the Phison E26. The SSD is therefore not completely brand new. Whether this was such a good idea remains to be seen, because I can compare it with the MSI SPATIUM M570, which is absolutely identical in [...]
