Samsung's 850 Pro SSDs are without a doubt the fastest SSDs of this moment. Given that this product does not seem to have any flaws, we heartily recommend it to those who are looking for the fastest possible SSD. The Vector 150 and AMD Radeon R7 SSDs ar...

When it comes to building their SSD it is hard not to be impressed by the M5 Pro from Plextor. As soon as we unbox the product the metal casing gives a feel of quality and then upon opening the drive we find the latest Toshiba branded flash and the latest...
Excellent allround performance, Remains fast regardless of data type, Uses a thirdgeneration Marvell controller, Equipped with highspeed Toggle Mode NAND, Fiveyear warranty as standard
Premium price tag, Not a huge step up from previous generations
