Does it really always have to be the fastest data medium on paper and what do older SATA devices in the form of a 2.5″ SSD or a 3.5″ hard drive perform? Do we really need the latest product pushed on us by marketing, or can it be a few levels lower? You can argue about the sense and nonsense of the products, but there are still enough [...]
Let’s be honest: is there currently an SSD with 2 TB of storage available for under 50 Euros? If it were up to certain eBay “top sellers,” it probably would. This contradicts the search results in reputable stores, but maybe the little technology miracle is taking place just outside of the usual big online shops. For example, if [...]
Those who value data security will certainly like today’s article and the video of the hot stone. We are publicly destroying a not quite cheap 980 PRO 2 TB SSD today on behalf of Samsung’s warranty department. The correspondence, which I have shortened and anonymized in the article for legal reasons, also shows why it absolutely had to [...]

I had already tested the MSI SPATIUM M480 with 2TB capacity, but now MSI has relaunched this SSD – with a trendy “Play” abbreviation in the name and the possibility to also install this storage device in a Sony PS5. The SPATIUM M480 and M480 Play also let it rip, because a good abd fast controller for the 2 TB NAND memory [...]

With the SanDisk Professional G-Drive SSD 2TB, Western Digital offers a shock-proof and also dust-proof according to IP67 as well as (at least for a short time) protected against accidental submersion, which fits in pretty much every trouser pocket, even if it is quite narrow. Such a thing is called rugged design, so it is a kind of BMX bike among [...]

MSI announces the launch of its own Solid State Drive (SSD) product line, SPATIUM. The initial product offering will include the M480, M470 and M370. Supporting PCIe Gen4 and Gen3, depending on the model, all NVMe SSDs feature the compact M.2 2280 form factor to fit desktop motherboards and laptops. On these SSDs, MSI says it’s putting high [...]
Patriot has once again made it exciting and even issued an extra NDA for this SUPERSONIC RAGE PRIME 1TB USB 3.2 stick. I must also preface this by saying that I had to do this test without a communicated MSRP, which might put some things into perspective later on. But I was really fascinated by this stick in many parts of this test, because it [...]
Already at the launch of NVIDIA’s Ampere graphics cards, this feature was the talk of the town and subsequently on the wish list of those who want to move large amounts of data directly and without the tedious detour via the CPU. The DirectStorage function was promised for Windows 10, but is now only available from version 11. In the [...]
I recently introduced you to the hardware brokers and published some internal prices of the “grey” market. Because we now also know where the stocks come from, when for example even the official distributors of the graphics card manufacturers wave off and lie dry. Because, as we now know, there is a kind of parallel universe of the [...]
Having assembled quite a few PCs already, I’ve always wanted to build a mini-I-X system for everyday use. So it came as a call that my work colleague asked me for a new PC, well, the help to build him something tailor-made. After a short information gathering regarding the application of the PC as well as the budget, it was only a few mouse [...]
SSDs have become an indispensable part of everyday PC life, and the slim NVMe SSDs in the M.2 slot are even more so. With the EXCERIA PLUS, TLC NAND and 5 years warranty, KIOXIA (quasi Toshiba) wants to expand the EXCERIA series upwards and relies mainly on components from its own production. This extends to the board layout, so this time [...]
There’s no need to repeat the war of the clone SSD sheeps with nearly identical Techvest boards, because if you know one, you know all SSDs. Well, yeah, more or less. And then BIWIN comes now with the HP SSD EX950 M.2 2TB from 240 euros and a different design and nice prices. This is even cheaper than a QLC-SSD in the form of the already [...]
Overview and requirements You know what that’s like? In and around your PC there are dozens of hard disks, on each one there are different files, you never find anything and space is always limited anyway. Now, you could just buy a ready-made NAS from, for example Synology or Qnap, but that’s not an option for small wallets [...]
