SSDs Reviews

A consistent drive that might fly under the radar.

An unconventional model that takes some risks

The Orico IG740-Pro is a competent, no-frills SSD that hits the right performance and power efficiency marks.

The Biwin Black Opal X570 Pro is a monster of a drive and a compelling alternative to the 8TB Samsung 9100 Pro.

The Transcend 260S is not a record-setter but it does deliver consistent performance in what should be a reliable package.

Novel features, but poor sustained writes.

The WD Green SN3000 repudiates the reputation of its drive line by delivering surprisingly good performance.

The PNY CS2342 is an excellent M.2 2230 SSD with good performance and reasonable power efficiency at 2TB in a single-sided package.

The Lexar Play SE is a capacious but strange NVMe SSD with rare hardware. It puts up meager numbers.

The Biwin Black Opal NV7400 is a solid performer with reasonable power efficiency and no real downsides.
