Abstract: In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. This is the unfortunate but temporary state of consumer SSDs that aren't the Intel 750 or Samsung SM951. Both of those drives offer cutting-edge performance, value (relative to peers), and the potential...

Abstract: It's been quite some time since our last SSD roundup and we hadn't seen much need for one until recently. SSD technology grew stale after saturating the SATA 6Gb/s bus, bringing mostly minor improvements in recent memory and making up for it with price cu...

Green PCB
The Phoenix Blade is a wonderful drive and has the excellent finish and solid construction I've come to expect from the G.SKILL. Even the packaging has a quality feel to it. The only let down is the green PCB. While most of the motherboard, graphics card,...

Do we need to write anything here? We do? But they saw the graphs, it's obvious what the conclusion is. What? Some people just skip to this page. More fool them. Okay here goes...The G.Skill Phoenix Blade PCIe SSD is the fastest storage solution around, b...

The Phoenix Blade is a beast in performance. It's in the top two of all the client-level SSDs that we have ever tested and trades blows with Samsung's XP941 PCIe SSD (although I must say here that most of the client drives we have tested are SATA based, s...

Looking at the capacity of the G.SKILL Phoenix Blade 480GB PCIe SSD we saw total of 512GB(1GB byte = 1,000,000,000 bytes) of NAND on board and Windows reports the capacity accessible to the end user as 447 GiB (1Gib = 1,073,741,824 bytes) which is typical...
This year we'll see 10 Gbps interfaces like the M2 port take off, bringing performance close to say 700 - 800 MB/sec on a small SSD that you infect inject into your motherboard. The next step is a PCI Express based add-in card in RAID and multiple NAND F...

G.Skill’s Phoenix Blade represents a big step forward for a company that decided to temporarily exit the SSD market altogether. It is obscenely fast and extremely expensive but its value quotient is surprisingly high when the competition is factored into ...
