Our never-ending pursuit to obtain a solid-state drive that provides the most capacity while balancing performance and efficiency is an uphill battle. While the climb is difficult, we finally have an outstanding drive with the Samsung 2TB 990 EVO Plus Internal SSD. Available in sizes up to 4TB and sporting the PCIe 5.0 M.2 interface, the 990 EVO Plus offers incredible data transfer speeds suitable for all types of

With the launch of the SanDisk Desk Drive SSD, balancing between performance and data storage capacity feels like less of a compromise. Available in 4TB and 8TB capacities with a 20 Gb/s USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 connection, you can offload your memory cards and back up your video, photo, and music libraries in short time using the included Acronis True Image software. And with up to 1000 MB/s sequential read speeds, you

Rugged, portable, and fast, Samsung’s T9 series of SSDs are the latest and greatest models in this content- creator-focused line of USB-C external storage. Following in line with the immensely popular T5, T7, and the T7 Shield, the T9 gains a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2 port, essentially doubles the transfer speeds of the T7, and retains the rubberized, durable exterior design of the Shield for extra protection during everyday

A few years ago, I realized my family had a media problem: our movies, home videos, music, and pictures were scattered all over the place. Some media was stuck on physical discs, a bunch of it was stored on unlabeled thumb drives, and some were even trapped on old, obsolete computers. Even worse, it was all dumb; we had no sensible way of accessing and managing our multimedia library. Like many of you, my 2020 was spent mostly indoors, so consolidating and organizing our media became a project. But I underestimated how long it would take to

Earlier this year, Crucial added a 4TB storage option to its popular X8-series of external SSDs. Like the other storage options in the X8 lineup, the 4TB model promises fast transfer times, a slim, sturdy design, and enough storage to hold a small library’s worth of data. To see whether it could live up to those lofty promises, we took the 4TB X8 External SSD home for a weeklong hands-on review.

It’s safe to say that Samsung’s T-series SSDs are the best around. Their blend of performance, size, and price can’t be matched. The T7 is the current gen, but Samsung is doing great work in expanding the functionality of the series. Most recently the brand ruggedized it, resulting in the T7 Shield.

Like so many other photographers and filmmakers working with high-resolution imagery, I never seem to have enough free storage on my external drives. Ever on the lookout for more space and faster transfer speeds, I was excited to try LaCie’s 18TB 1big Dock, a desktop powerhouse designed with creative workflows in mind. Could this be the next home for my archive?

The Microsoft Surface Go 2 is good. Or, it’s great. Determining which depends largely on the user, perhaps more so than for any tablet I’ve ever reviewed. For that reason, I tend to think of the Surface Go 2 as being particular. It’s idiosyncratic. If your needs align with the Surface Go 2’s specific feature set, it’s nothing short of magic. If they don’t, then it’s less of a revelation, but still quite good. To determine where I fell on

The iPad Pro is something of a paradox, in that it is simultaneously a luxury item and a necessity. At first glance, this doesn’t appear to be the case. The Pro seems more like the Bugatti of tablets, a gorgeous vehicle that’s too costly and too much car for a population that can easily get by with a nice mid-range sedan. But after a few

Say what you will about Wacom—this is one company that doesn’t rest on its laurels. One week after releasing the greatest creative tablet ever designed, Wacom was back at it, introducing yet another new product. This time it was an update of the popular Intuos line (available in Small and

For digital artists, few names are as revered as Wacom. By bridging the gap between real-world illustration and digital, the company didn’t just change the game, it essentially invented a new one. Now, 20 years after the release of its first Intuos tablet, Wacom looks poised to shake up the market once again, this time with the newly unveiled Cintiq Pro 24. We happily got our hands on one for an in-the-field

Some of us are tech nerds; we love scanning the headlines for tech news and announcements, and then get giddy when we hear that a new processor is available on a mobile platform or new features are being added to an established brand that make the buying of a tablet even more desirable. But tablets have recently fallen out of favor
