SSD reviews

Speed machine Once the world's fastest sequential SSD, this plucky stick still holds its own.

Too late? Nearly two years on, and Samsung's first PCIe 5.0 drive is, well, average.

tiny drive A reasonably performant and extra-small USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 drive that faces tough competition.

Puck A smart, surprisingly performant portable USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 drive.

Huge lad Pushing PCIe storage to the limit.

Controlled Impressively chilled, with top-tier random 4K stats.

Big value Big capacity, big performance, big value.

Big, not bold Big ticket capacity held back by poor pricing.

Sammy Powerful sequentials on the cheap.

Hefty puck Not the most portable drive but great for system backups, giant game libraries, and media storage.
