There is a growing performance scaling discrepancy between CPUs and hard-disk drives (HDDs). While CPU performance has improved by 175 times in the last 13 years, HDD performance has improved by only ...

Computers use two main types of storage: hard disk drives and solid-state drives. Both store your files, applications and operating system, but they work differently. These differences significantly ...

With the benchmarks and hardware established, here’s what our initial testing results look like. This is a starting point, and while the three drive configurations listed here will remain, we will ...

TL;DR: Microsoft's DirectStorage technology accelerates game loading by allowing the GPU to handle file access and decompression, designed for NVMe SSDs with PCIe Gen4 speeds. Despite limited game ...

In 2025, the choice of storage—HDD, SSD, or RAID—is critical to data security, performance, and uptime. SSDs provide quicker speed, cooler, quieter operation, and faster rebuilds in RAID ...

When it comes to picking the right data storage, there are two mainstream options available: SSD (Solid State Drives) and HDD (Hard Disk Drives). Then there is the amalgamation of both that is a ...

Solid-state disk (SSD) drives are all the rage among techies. The drives use non-volatile NAND flash memory, meaning there are no moving parts. Because there is no actuator arm and read/write head ...

AS SSD Benchmark confirms the RevoDrive Hybrid's strong sequential read performance as it pumped 386.5MB/s on its first run. As we've seen previously, it offered poor sequential write performance ...

AS SSD Benchmark confirms what we found when testing with CrystalDiskMark. The Black2's SSD provides relatively strong read performance hitting 393MB/s, which was a fraction faster than the Agility 4.

The best external SSDs offer a level of storage performance, read/write speed, and reliability that wasn't possible with older external hard drives. They're also lighter and much less susceptible to ...
