SSDs Reviews

The 990 EVO Plus is Samsung’s real answer to the DRAM-less SSD market, an improvement over the stalled 990 EVO in every way. The company is back to form with a pretty solid drive.

The Team Group PD20 Mini External SSD looks good and performs well enough for speedy mainstream use. But its sustained write performance is lacking, and some similarly performing drives cost less.

Worth the wait, but still expensive

Finally, a PCIe 5.0 SSD for laptops and more

Kingston’s budget SSD line returns with improvements

Seagate's Game Drive External SSD performs well and looks the part of a PlayStation accessory, but similarly-performing alternatives are available for much less.

SMI’s high-end SM2508 PCIe 5.0 SSD controller is finally here. It offers top notch performance and does so with greatly improved efficiency, ushering in an era of better controllers and SSDs.

A niche solution with interesting features.

The Adata Legend 970 Pro finally delivers a PCIe 5.0 alternative to Phison E26-based SSDs for high-end PCs, but it has poor power efficiency and fails to live up to its 'Pro' moniker.

Adata's SC750 delivers true 10Gbps SSD speeds in a compact (but wide) form factor. It's one of the fastest flash drives we've tested, and it will soon be available in capacities up to 2TB.
