SSDs Reviews

The Biwin Black Opal X570 is a unique drive, running with an eight-channel control without DRAM. Its performance is not bad, but the drive may have only niche applications.

Rugged and ready for speed where you need it

The Lexar NM1090 Pro is not a bad drive, but its appeal is somewhat limited given its position in the market. It has good all-around performance, but it isn't exceptional.

Samsung pushes the limit with the 8TB 9100 Pro, offering the first large-capacity high-end PCIe 5.0 drive. It’s a good drive, but the price might cause some hesitation.

The TeamGroup MP44Q is another budget SSD from the company, this time using QLC flash instead of TLC. It performs well with good power efficiency, but has the expected QLC drawbacks.

The Crucial T710 is the successor to the flagship T705, offering only minor gains outside of outstanding power efficiency improvements.

Kioxia’s Exceria Plus G2 external drive is compact and feels premium, while delivering mostly the performance you’d expect from a 10 Gbps SSD.

The Acer Predator GM9000 is a high-end PCIe 5.0 drive positioned as a budget entry in an enthusiast market segment.

Filling the gap between the P310 and T710

The Phison E28 is a return to form, offering excellent performance and power efficiency. It’s an all-around impressive package.
