SSDs Reviews

The Adata Legend 970 Pro finally delivers a PCIe 5.0 alternative to Phison E26-based SSDs for high-end PCs, but it has poor power efficiency and fails to live up to its 'Pro' moniker.

Adata's SC750 delivers true 10Gbps SSD speeds in a compact (but wide) form factor. It's one of the fastest flash drives we've tested, and it will soon be available in capacities up to 2TB.

The Netac NV7000-Q SSD is a QLC-based budget SSD that performs well enough and is very efficient. However, it’s hard to find and only available at 1TB, making it a niche solution.

A budget SSD with some important caveats.

Not too short, not too long.

BiCS6 QLC flash makes single-sided 4TB fashionable.

Finally, a 2TB QLC M.2 2230 SSD that doesn’t suck.

Perhaps the last hurrah for the portable hard drive

Lexar's SL500 and Professional SL600 do well on most of our tests. But our sustained write testing shows better-performing options are available at lower prices.

PNY's 20 Gbps "rugged" external drive performs well in bursty tasks, but can it handle sustained writes as well as similarly priced alternatives like Crucial's X10 Pro?
