SSDs over the SATA3 (6 Gb/s) interface have reached a performance ceiling, and high-performance M.2 SSDs are not a mass marketitem yet.. That doesn’t mean that you cannot buy a faster-than-SATA3 SSD though, as some manufacturers make PCI Express-based SSDs that perform quite admirably. The latest contender to make such an SSD is G.Skill, which […]
BiTMICRO has announced the new MAXio E-Series PCIe solid state drives (SSDs). Prior to this announcement, BiTMICRO targeted the industrial and military markets but with the E-Series (E for Enterprise) SSDs, they are now going after the growing enterprise storage market. BiTMICRO’s Talino ASIC technology allows scaling of capacity and throughput. A single Talino controller […]

Mushkin has announced a new series of SSDs, the Scorpion Deluxe series. This series of SSDs, though, is no ordinary lineup, as the units are PCIe– based; thus, they also have much higher read and write speeds. The units are driven by a total of four Sandforce SF-2281 controllers and have native support for Windows […]
Serial ATA storage solutions developer FirmTek has revealed that its SeriTek/Q6G 4-Port eSATA host adapter is now available. The high performance SeriTek/Q6G is Mac OS X bootable, whether installed inside the Apple Mac Pro or a Thunderbolt PCIe expansion chassis, with and without SATA port-multiplication. The SeriTek/Q6G is built to support several types of eSATA […]
Expansion manufacturer mLogic is now shipping its PCIe Thunderbolt expansion chassis worldwide. The mLink chassis enables selected PCIe cards such as RAID controllers, 10GigE, Fiber Channel and audio-video capture cards to connect to Mac desktop and laptop computers through the Thunderbolt interface. The new expansion case allows installation of half-length, Thunderbolt-aware PCIe cards, and boasts […]
Sonnet has followed up its Thunderbolt PCIe expansion cases with new, budget-priced versions called Echo Express SE. The chassis lets users plug PCI Express cards into computers without any expansion ports and communicate with them at high speeds thanks to their Thunderbolt interface. The cases have two such ports, allowing them to daisy-chain up to […]
Magma hopes to get you to use your Thunderbolt port with its upcoming, newly teased ExpressBox 3T. The box contains slots for three PCIe cards side-by-side for video capture, media transcoding, audio processing and fast data storage.
