Samsung’s high-end 980 Pro and 990 Pro SSDs have been affected by rapidly decreasing quality issues lately. The company already released a firmware update for its 980 Pro SSDs some time ago and has now provided a similar solution for its latest flagship storage solution. Samsung initially declined warranties and RMA for its 980/990 Pro [...]
Corsair MP700 PRO SE PCIe 5.0 NVMe M.2 SSD Review: Fast, but good cooling is a must

TeamGroup MP44 2TB PCIe 4.0 TLC NVMEe SSD Review – About prices, clones and misleading specifications

I deliberately took a bit more time this time by testing the Solidigm P44 Pro briefly at first and then using it in the workstation for a longer time. The Solidigm P44 Pro is ultimately just a SK hynix Platinum P41 under a different name and with modified firmware. The tested 1 TB version is one of three P44 models that are available with 512 GB [...]
The Acer Predator is definitely a highly interesting SSD, because it combines a rather unknown controller (which does without DRAM as cache) with a very special Chinese 3D TLC NAND from YMTC. In this form, it is even (on paper) one of the fastest PCIe-4 SSDs without DRAM cache and probably the most efficient SSD in this segment at all. Even if it [...]
The first NVMe SSDs compatible with the latest PCI Express standard are now available from CFD Gaming. Even though platforms supporting this technology have been available to consumers for over a year, SSD manufacturers have not been in a hurry. Even months after AMD and Intel unveiled their latest and updated platforms with expanded support for [...]
Today follows the last part of this little hobby project, but the end comes with a bang (metaphorically): Ryzen 7, 16GB RAM and a proud 32TB of storage. I had already teased the slightly extended version of the normal NAS, now it can finally show what it can do! The title already gave it away, for this system, which can also be used as a server [...]
With the MP600 GS, Corsair rounds off the SSD portfolio in the solid mid-range as well and meanwhile also benefits a bit from the price drop. Starting at around 10 cents per GB, the price is now just under 8 cents. Corsair offers a somewhat more frugal M.2 SSD with PCIe 4.0 in the form of the MP600 GS, including the cheaper Phison E21T controller [...]
Does it really always have to be the fastest data medium on paper and what do older SATA devices in the form of a 2.5″ SSD or a 3.5″ hard drive perform? Do we really need the latest product pushed on us by marketing, or can it be a few levels lower? You can argue about the sense and nonsense of the products, but there are still enough [...]
Let’s be honest: is there currently an SSD with 2 TB of storage available for under 50 Euros? If it were up to certain eBay “top sellers,” it probably would. This contradicts the search results in reputable stores, but maybe the little technology miracle is taking place just outside of the usual big online shops. For example, if [...]
We seamlessly follow up on the last article about my 3D-printed NAS, then today it’s all about commissioning and also finally performance testing. If you haven’t read the last article yet, you should definitely catch up on it. In this one, it does get very software-heavy. Preparations As already announced, I decided to use [...]
Those who value data security will certainly like today’s article and the video of the hot stone. We are publicly destroying a not quite cheap 980 PRO 2 TB SSD today on behalf of Samsung’s warranty department. The correspondence, which I have shortened and anonymized in the article for legal reasons, also shows why it absolutely had to [...]
A little over a year ago, I presented an ITX gaming system here whose case came entirely from the 3D printer. Since then there were from me now and then smaller topics in this direction, today I present you my next big project with a small footprint. However, instead of a gaming PC for your own leisure time, it becomes rather useful and practical [...]

I had already tested the MSI SPATIUM M480 with 2TB capacity, but now MSI has relaunched this SSD – with a trendy “Play” abbreviation in the name and the possibility to also install this storage device in a Sony PS5. The SPATIUM M480 and M480 Play also let it rip, because a good abd fast controller for the 2 TB NAND memory [...]
With the Spatium M450, MSI also enters the path of cheaper NVMe SSDs with PCIe 4.0, which do not rely on the vulnerable and unloved QLC flash memory, but on a new, simplified concept. This is because certain additional costs still stand in the way of the large distribution of PCIe 4.0 SSDs. However, in order to be able to reduce the costs not only [...]

With the SanDisk Professional G-Drive SSD 2TB, Western Digital offers a shock-proof and also dust-proof according to IP67 as well as (at least for a short time) protected against accidental submersion, which fits in pretty much every trouser pocket, even if it is quite narrow. Such a thing is called rugged design, so it is a kind of BMX bike among [...]
