Memoright, a leading provider of solid state drive (SSD) products, unveils its latest SSD solutions HTM series which delivers constant sequential performance and constant random access performance and allows MLC- based SSDs to deliver longer life span for enterprise storage.
As Memoright’s Chairman and CEO Eric Kao stated in the keynote speech of Flash Memory Summit, “one size does not fit all in SSD world.” SSDs are not simply as a faster version of HDDs. If SSD’s performance characteristic does not match data access patterns, SSDs will not perform as expected and sometimes can be slower than HDDs.
In some application of enterprise storage, SSD’s are required to deliver consistent performance, especially when they are working in an array or certain RAID configurations. Latency is the time with which a drive takes to respond back to host after receiving an IO command. An array of SSD’s performs the best when every SSD responds with same or similar latency. This is also the reason why enterprise HDD’s are often short-stroked to limit the movement of read/write headset thus to obtain a narrower range of latency time, while sacrificing a high percentage of capacity. In SSD world, some manufactures use high over-provisioning to ease garbage collection process in hope of limiting the latency time. It not only wastes a lot of expensive NAND capacity, but also got no guarantee. Memoright shows that it is possible to limit the latency spread without a high percentage of over-provisioning.

Lite-On, a global leader of optical storage solutions, announces the new disc burning comes to the iPhone with the launch of Lite-On’s exclusive MyDisk Suite. A survey finding that eighty three percent of users who purchase disc burners do not install the software suites included with the hardware spurred Lite-On to create MyDisk Suite, a smarter, more interesting form of disc burning software. MyDisk Suite’s tools work with Lite-On drives to integrate disc burning, file indexing, cover creation, and the development of disc menus.
A generation of 17-45 year old customers who share their lives and their media have difficulty finding files they have burned and find current burning software difficult to use. MyDisk Suite requires only a few straightforward steps and incorporates a set of applications for the PC, iPad and iPhone. Applications including DiskIndex, DiskCollection, DiskCase, and DiskMobile present a brand-new approach to disc burning, making disc burning easier, smarter and more interesting. It brings together drag-and-drop disc burning, file/disc indexing, customised menus, personalised disc covers and iOS image burning that is intuitive and user-centric.

Links International announced this week that Plextor's new M2P Series SSDs will be released in Japan on October 8th. Originally unveiled at Computex 2011, the PX-128M2P and PX-256M2P are powered by a server-grade Marvell 88SS9174 controller and share many of the same features found on the M2S Series, including a SATA 6Gb/s interface, TRIM support and Plextor's own Instant Restore technology. The M2P Series even appears to use the same Toshiba 32nm Toggle Mode NAND flash chips found on the PX-128M2S and PX-256M2S.
Despite the similarities, the M2S and M2P Series are quite different. Along with a totally redesigned 2.5-inch PCB and new features like Plextor's True Speed technology, the M2P Series has gotten a considerable speed increase. The 128GB PX-128M2P comes equipped with a 256MB DDR3 cache and is capable of delivering up to 500 MB/s sequential read and 300 MB/s sequential write speeds. The PX-256M2P packs twice the cache (512MB) which helps the drive reach a sequential write speed of 440 MB/s.
