SSDs Reviews

The Nextorage NEM-PAC is a quiet contender with good performance and a PS5-compliant heatsink. It’s a competent Gen 4 SSD but is otherwise unexciting.

The Inland QN450 is a surprisingly capable Gen 4 drive with strong all-around performance and exceptional power efficiency. It outshines the NV3 but has hardware uncertainty and low TBW.

Biwin takes the fight to Kingston’s NV3

Speedy, compact storage with a handy built-in hub

The GameStop NVMe SSD is a decent gamer-oriented drive with good performance and a nice heatsink at a reasonable price. SMI and Samsung hardware come together for a compelling package.

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.
