We're proud to announce a partnership with OakGate Technology. This company develops test equipment for (enterprise) SSD vendors and with our partnership comes the opportunity to use their test equipment. This means that besides the most thorough and extensive consumer level SSD reviews as you're used to from us, you can now also expect the most extensive and thorough enterprise SSD reviews. Of course this will also pave the way for articles where we can compare consumer and enterprise level performance and explain which kind of drive is suitable for which situation.
We feel this is an exciting step forward. Of course we'll continue to innovate and find ways to inform you on where to get the best bang for your buck.
