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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Samsung’s HBM3E memory encounters obstacles: Technical issues or strategic battle? AlphaBiz reports suggest that Samsung is struggling to meet the HBM3E memory tests set by NVIDIA. This could be a setback for the Korean giant, which has seen an upswing in its memory business in recent quarters. Initial reports suggested that Samsung’s [...]
With the Corsair MP700 PRO SE, the manufacturer does what MSI did with the SPATIUM M580 Frozr and uses the new expansion stage of the SSD design with the Phison 26 and fast Micron NAND for even more speed. I’m testing the coolerless 4 TB version today, but that doesn’t mean you don’t need a cooler. But you can choose from a 3rd [...]
After we tested the DXP4800 Plus from Ugreen in detail a few days ago, the smaller 2-bay version should of course not be missing. For most users it doesn’t have to be a maximum of 96TB in RAID5, a simple and above all cheaper backup solution is sufficient. And this is exactly what Ugreen wants to offer with the DXP2800, so let’s take a [...]
I have to explain the title, of course, because there are two reasons for it. Firstly, despite the same packaging and the same data sheets, TeamGroup has now launched a completely different SSD than it did around 7 months ago and secondly, this one resembles the recently tested Corsair MP600 Elite like an egg to another. I will explain both points [...]
The company HighPoint is not an unknown name, as it is known for the production of RAID storage and NVMe data carriers. Now, with its new Rocket Gen5 NVMe switch controller and RAID AIC/adapter series, the company is presenting a range of new products. The company is presenting its new Rocket 1608A and Rocket 7608A with the respective adapters [...]
The HP FX700 tested today is no longer brand new, but there was a reason for that, because I tend to be skeptical about QLC. Hewlett Packard, or HP for short, is one of the leading names in the technology industry worldwide. However, when developing the SSDs, HP entered into a partnership with BIWIN Storage, a renowned Chinese manufacturer of SSD [...]
With the MSI SPATIUM M580 Frozr, the Taiwanese manufacturer has gone one better and launched a second fanless NVMe SSD with PCIe 5.0 standard, which is supposed to be a little bit faster and could therefore also reach the limits of PCIe 5.0. But does such a bolide bring any real added performance value and what is actually installed in detail? Of [...]
With the MP600 Elite, Corsair sent me an SSD to test some time ago, which I couldn’t really categorize logically based on the test results and the price. The name implies a lot, but in practice it looked a lot less rosy. So I waited to see how the price developed and compared the street price with the MP600 Pro XT I had already tested. Now [...]
