Storage

Should you buy an HDD or SSD? Here's all you need to know.

Will 5 GB/s of throughput have a real impact on common desktop workloads, like gaming? Let's see.

The PMC-Sierra Flashtec NVRAM drive offers up to 10M IOPS in Direct Memory Interface (DMI) mode and 1M 4K random IOPS when utilized as a block device with the lightweight NVMe protocol.

Intel is the first fab-enabled manufacturer to come forward with an enterprise-class M.2 SSD. Come along for a closer look at the diminutive speedster.

Come along as we explore all things SMR in our Seagate Archive 8TB HDD Enterprise Review at Tom's IT Pro.

Phison offered to let us test its S10 controller with three flash types that will ship in 2015: Toshiba's A19 TLC, 15nm MLC and Micron L95B 16nm MLC.

Join us as we put Mangstor's MX6300 Enterprise NVMe SSD under the Tom's IT Pro microscope. How does it fare against competing NVMe-based PCIe models?

Join us as we put Intel's 1.2TB DC S3710 under the Tom's IT Pro microscope. How does it fare against competing 2.5-inch enterprise SSDs?

JMicron sent over three SSD configurations that use the new JMF670H controller and are paired up with brand new flash memory.

Join us as we put Intel's 800GB DC S3610 under the Tom's IT Pro microscope. How does it fare against competing 2.5-inch enterprise SSDs?

With the introduction of its SSD DC P3700, P3600, and P3500, Intel is giving us our first taste of the PCIe-based NVMe specification. We take the flagship P3700 for a drive in its 800 GB and 1.6 TB incarnations. Just how fast is the future of storage?

We have our first retail SSD with JMicron's JMF667H controller. Paying $115 for 256 GB of fast storage sure sounds attractive, but has the company ironed out the issues that plagued it in the early days of SSDs? We run its SSD340 through our grinder.

It's rare that we get the chance to test SSDs before they hit production. But after waltzing with Silicon Motion's SM2246EN platform last year, JMicron offered us a handful of reference drives with different types of flash, all driven by the new JMF667H.

After winning an award last year for its 840 EVO, Samsung is ready to follow up with another high-end offering. The company's 850 Pro SSD merges the EVO's familiar MEX controller with 3D V-NAND. Does the combination justify an upgrade, or should you wait?

Video surveillance has been around for years. Grainy gas station cameras are giving way to higher-end 1080p-capable IP cameras, and storage is evolving to meet the needs of these ever-expanding solutions. Today we look at two new entries into the market.

With the introduction of its 845DC EVO, Samsung continues down the path of taking well-received enthusiast-oriented SSDs and customizing them for the enterprise. We run the new drive through a battery of tests in order to determine its strengths.
