What SSD and Storage Topics Does NewMaxx's SSD Page Cover?

NewMaxx's SSD Page (borecraft.com) is a personal SSD-focused news and reference site that mixes storage industry news, hardware reviews, SSD buying guidance, and technical research summaries. It is worth following if you want SSD and NAND developments in one feed, but it is not a formal review lab or a spec database — treat it as a curated stream of storage news plus occasional deep dives.

The site's core coverage

The page presents itself as "SSD and tech news, reviews, and guides from NewMaxx." In practice, its content falls into four buckets:

• SSD and storage news — product launches, industry shifts, and storage-adjacent developments.
• Reviews — hands-on write-ups of storage hardware. One example visible on the page is a review of the Asustor Lockerstor 2 Gen2+ AS6702T v2, a NAS unit rather than a bare SSD, which shows the review scope extends to storage systems around the drive.
• Guides — practical SSD selection and usage material, which is the part most readers come for.
• Technical and research summaries — academic or industry papers condensed into readable posts.

SSD news and product coverage

The news feed is broad rather than strictly SSD-only. Alongside storage items, the page carries general tech and PC gaming stories, such as:

• A Windows 11 update that reduces RAM usage, alongside notes on RAM shortages.
• GPU and hardware items (an RTX 5090 8-pin mod, KINGPIN and Spectre returning).
• Nintendo's position on physical Switch 2 games.
• NVIDIA's CUDA ecosystem driving RTX Spark laptop sales, with 128GB unified memory configurations sold out.

The storage-relevant thread running through this is memory and NAND supply. A post noting that "CPU, DRAM, and SSD now eat 68% of a $900 laptop's build cost" is a good example of the site connecting component pricing to what buyers actually pay. If you are tracking SSD prices, this kind of framing is more useful than a bare product announcement.

Guides and buying-oriented content

The "guides" element is what distinguishes the page from a pure news aggregator. Posts like "Hit the storage gold mine" sit in the practical, deal-and-selection space rather than the lab-bench space. The site's own keywords include "premium" and "upgrade," which matches the editorial angle: helping readers decide what storage to buy or add.

One caveat worth stating plainly: the page does not publish a price list or a structured spec table, and nothing on it indicates whether any content sits behind a login or paywall. If you need current pricing or exact controller/NAND specifications, verify against the manufacturer or a retailer rather than relying on a news post.

NAND and flash memory research

A notable and less common part of the coverage is flash memory research, summarized for a general technical audience:

• "ML Framework with Gaussian Process Augmentation for Read Current Prediction in Ultra-Tall 3D NAND Flash Memory" — machine learning applied to predicting read current in very tall 3D NAND stacks.
• "Reliable HCI-Based Programming in V-NAND Flash Memory: Co-optimization of SWL Waveform and Trap-Cut Architecture" — programming reliability work on V-NAND, combining waveform and cell architecture changes.

These are dense topics, but they explain why future SSDs behave the way they do — endurance, read stability, and scaling limits as NAND stacks get taller. If you only care about which drive to buy, you can skip them; if you want to understand where the technology is heading, they are the most distinctive thing on the site.

Formats: articles, podcast, and paper summaries

Content appears in three main forms:

The podcast is the efficient option if you want the news without reading each post; the written posts are better when you need to check a specific claim.

How to use the site without getting overwhelmed

Because the feed mixes SSD topics with general PC and gaming news, a simple filter helps:

1. Scan headlines for storage keywords — SSD, NAND, DRAM, storage, NAS, memory. Skip the rest unless it interests you.
2. Read guides when you are actually buying — they are the decision-oriented content.
3. Use the podcast for catch-up — one episode covers many stories, including the RAM and storage supply items.
4. Cross-check anything numeric — prices, capacities, and specs change; confirm with the vendor before acting.

If your goal is a single source for SSD news plus the occasional technical explainer, this page fits. If you need standardized benchmark comparisons across many drives, you will still want a dedicated review outlet alongside it.
