Review: Addlink G55 (Phison e31t) PCIe gen 5.0 NVMe SSD @ 10GB/s - Value For the Masses
» Read Review
We tested the TeamGroup T-Force Z540 (4TB model), this PCIe gen 5.0 NVMe SSD offers blistering speeds. You can (and should) tuck it away underneath your motherboard heatsink, however we'll also pair it with the Dark AirFlow I combo Heatsink, which offers tremendous good cooling, making sure your new NVMe SSD runs optimally cooled.
Today, we’re presenting a review of a Neo Forza NF495 M.2 SSD. Neo Forza is a Taiwanese company founded in 2018. It is a Goldkey brand (which has existed since 1998) that focuses on enthusiast-grade products. You can find the SATA, M.2 PCIe drives, DDR4, and DDR5 (which we reviewed in the past) in the offer.
Proxmem Technology USA Corp has already produced the RAM from DDR4 series and introduced the DDR5 product from the Kerberos series with the Asus TUF branding, from which we go a sample. The presented series has various available frequencies and kits of multiple capacities. The sample we got is 6800 MHz, 32 GB (16 GB x 2), and CL34-45-45-108, but there are also ones starting from 6000 MHz.
TeamGroup T-Force G70 Pro (4TB) - PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD makes use of an innogrit controller, designed and aimed at gamers this new SDSD series from teamGroup is bound to impress with respectable performance and good value for money.
Predator (and overall Acer’s) storage products are manufactured by BIWIN Storage Technology (for example, it’s also applicable for HP SSDs/RAM). The presented series has various available frequencies and kits of multiple capacities. The sample we got is 6800 MHz, 32 GB (16 GB x 2), and CL32-45-45-108, but there are also ones starting from 6400 MHz and reaching up to 8000 MHz
The Corsair MP700 Pro SE marks the second generation of Corsair's PCIe 5.0 solid-state drives (SSDs), designed to fully utilize the PCIe 5.0 interface. This latest model significantly advances in speed, achieving up to 14 GB/s, and expands the series to cater to various performance requirements.
V-Color is a company (from Taiwan established in 2006) for which we have already reviewed two other DDR5 kits. One was the ROG Manta XSky series, with a frequency of 7000 MHz and CL36 latency; the second one was - Manta XPrism 6200 CL36, which is from the same series as the product we will present today. This time, the sample is from the (very) high-capacity kits (2x48 GB), reaching up to 6800 MHz; here, it’s a 6800 CL34 version. This series in the V-Color offers frequencies up to 8400 MHz.
Lexar SL660 BLAZE Gaming Portable SSD. New drive has latest USB 3.2 Gen2 x2 technology and blazing-fast NVMe performance. It is perfect for boosting the performance of your consoles and editing workstations, at 2000 MB/sec.
We review the KIOXIA EXCERIA PLUS G3 SSD, aimed at the mainstream consumer market seeking to enhance their system performance beyond the capabilities of initial entry-level M.2 SSDs. This latest model moves past the limitations of earlier technologies like PCIe Gen3 and NVMe 1.3, offering upgrades in both performance and capacity. Notably, the EXCERIA PLUS G3 SSD comes in larger storage options, such as 2TB, addressing the need for higher data storage capacity.
G.Skill is a company (from Taipei) whose products don’t need an introduction, as it’s one of the most well-known RAM manufacturers. The provided sample is from a Trident Z5 series consisting of two 32 GB modules with a frequency of 6400 MHz. At first glance, it should be the sweet spot choice for the AMD Ryzen 7000 series and the Intel processors.
We look at a TeamGroup T-Force XTREEM 48GB DDR5 - 8200 MHz CL38 DDR5 memory kit. This set is based on their newly released XTREEM series. We have never seen DDR5 memory so fast, but we have never seen so many compatibility issues also. Join us in a quick review of what is achievable.
In an effort to make M.2 SSDs cheaper manufacturers are diverting to different controllers and QLC NAND. HP is joining in on that with their FX700 series NMVe SSD. How does 2TB storage for $89 sound? With a Gen4x4 NVMe Maxio 1602 controller 2400MT/s 3D QLC NAND flash, this SSD reaches sequential read and write speeds up to 7200/6200 MB/s, respectively.
Let me introduce you to Corsair's more affordable NVMe SSD, the Corsair MP600 Elite PCIe Gen 4.0 SSD; this is one a fast PCIe Gen 4.0 NVMe SSD that is based on a dramless design. With a transfer rate of 7000 MB/sec, the 2 TB version is priced at 10 cents per GB. However, there is a twist in this round, as the new model comes equipped with an entirely new heatsink. Not only does it look very attractive, but it also functions admirably.
How does 4TB storage for $199 sound? With a Gen4x4 NVMe controller and 2400MT/s 3D TLC NAND flash, the S93 reaches sequential read and write speeds up to 7400/6500 MB/s, respectively. It is built for PCIe 4.0 but has compatibility with M.2 PCIe 3.0 and PCIe 5.0 slots
