In our review of the Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR4-2400 memory kit, we found it to be a top value for DDR4 memory, while still delivering excellent performance, and even some overclock-ability. It remains one of our favorite DDR4 memory kits, in fact we still use it as our base memory kit for our X99 test system. So naturally when Crucial asked if …

Micron Technology, a leading producer of flash memory devices, is announcing availability of their new ultra high-speed, ultra reliable and ultra high-temperature parallel NOR Flash memory and low-power DDR4 (LPDDR4) DRAM memory designed for the ever-increasing memory requirements of today’s advance automotive systems. Micron’s latest G18 NOR series represents the industry’s highest-performing parallel NOR, while their new automotive-grade LPDDR4 offerings …

With the rapid progress of technology from one day to the next, concepts, ideas, inventions, and reinventions suddenly turn from wishful thinking into reality. In the case of solid-state drives the burning question was whether we would see a viable external solution. Conventional hard-drives already go their external variant primarily thanks to USB 2.0; with the raw speed and performance …

SSD technology has seen some massive leaps since it was introduced in the mass consumer market a few years back. Throughout that time we have seen faster speeds, newer interfaces, and smaller designs. One drawback that has remained constant throughout is size, and it still is the major issue today for those looking to make the jump from mechanical to …

The SSD market has seen such staggering growth since its inception; it is almost mind-boggling to keep up with the new drives and companies entering the fray every year. Some do well, while others quickly exit out, hence, we are left with those companies that have proven their reliability in positively sustaining consumer SSD technology, architecture, and hardware. Crucial is …
