We had a recent incident in our lab where SATA 6Gb/s performance inexplicably dropped going from one motherboard to the next. In theory, both boards should have offered the same performance on the ...

Recently one of my SSDs started acting up; it's the disk I use only for games. It could write at speeds I'd come to expect (500MB/s), but when opening a game, things would slow down to an impossible ...

A) Do 2.5" laptop SSDs use "Mini SATA"? B) Is 2.5" SATA(as in, the SATA on a 2.5" drive), different dimension connector to 3.5" SATA(as in, SATA on a 3.5" drive)? C) Are all mSATA(micro SATA) and all ...

Upgrading a computer's boot drive from a traditional hard drive to an SSD is one of the single best performance upgrades ever. But, if you're like many of us, when you did it SSDs were expensive, and ...

Sabrent, based in the USA, unveiled the DS-UFNC, an enclosure that features a 2.5/3.5-inch bay for SATA and an M.2 slot that supports NVMe SSD. The DS-UFNC can accommodate both SATA drives and M.2 ...

It's a well-known fact that solid-state drives (SSDs) are faster and superior to old mechanical hard drive disks, which are more commonly called HDDs (via Enterprise Storage Platform). An archaic ...

A collapse in price for NAND flash memory and a shrinking gap between the prices of PCI Express-based and SATA-based solid-state drives (SSDs) means the shift to PCI Express SSDs will accelerate in ...

Solid-state drives are universally faster than old-school hard-disk drives, but not all SSDs are the same. They come in different shapes and sizes, have different maximum speeds, and as you might ...
