Gaming is a booming global industry, and content creation is also more popular today with the continued growth of social networking. Having a reliable storage device has therefore become a prerequisite. Transcend Information, Inc. (Transcend), a leading brand of digital storage and multimedia products, is proud to announce the release of the MTE240S, a PCIe M.2 solid-state drive (SSD), to serve the increasing need for digital storage. Built meeting the latest PCIe 4.0 specifications and crafted of high-quality 3D NAND flash memory, the MTE240S unleashes lightning transfer speeds of up to 3,800MB/s. Available in capacities of up to 1TB, the SSD comes with an ultra-thin graphene heatsink, delivering a seamlessly smooth and stable storage experience for gamers and content creators alike.
3,800MB/s high speed for uninterrupted performance
Compliant with the NVMe 1.4 specification, the MTE240S is embedded with the latest PCIe Gen4 x4 interface and a 4-channel controller, resulting in compelling performance of 3,800MB/s read and 3,200MB/s write speeds. The drive effectively decreases system latency, giving gamers that competitive edge, and enabling video editing by content creators.
Stay cool with graphene heatsink
Transcend’s MTE240S features an ultra-thin graphene heatsink that keeps the components at a suitable temperature during high-speed operations. The operational temperature remains within an acceptable range, ensuring that speed is not affected by heat. Dynamic thermal throttling mechanism monitors the temperature at all times. This not only keeps overall system stability on an even keel, but prolongs the lifespan of the SSD. The MTE240S is also engineered with LDPC coding for greater data integrity. All these technologies aim at a safer, more durable storage experience for gamers and content creators.

Samsung Electronics, the world leader in advanced memory technology, today announced the 980 NVMe SSD, the company’s first consumer drive without DRAM. Delivering the highest performance among DRAM-less SSDs, the new 980 makes blazing NVMe speeds more accessible to a wider range of users.
“Through both hardware and software innovations, our new 980 SSD brings greater value without compromising the high-end NVMe performance,” said KyuYoung Lee, vice president of Memory Brand Product Biz team at Samsung Electronics. “The 980 offers an excellent blend of speed, power efficiency and reliability, making it suitable for everyday PC users and gamers as well as content creators.”
Previously, DRAM-less designs have presented a disadvantage in speed without the short-term memory at hand for fast access to data. Samsung’s 980 utilizes Host Memory Buffer (HMB) technology, which links the drive directly to the host processor’s DRAM to overcome any performance drawbacks. This technology, coupled with the company’s latest sixth-generation V-NAND as well as optimized controller and firmware, enables the 980 to provide NVMe performance with six times the speed of SATA SSDs. Sequential read and write speeds come in at up to 3,500 and 3,000 MB/s, while random read and write performances are rated as high as 500K IOPS and 480K IOPS, respectively.

Phison Electronics Corp, a global leader in NAND Flash controllers, integrated circuits, and storage solutions, announced today that it will be the first to ship the new PCIe interface SD card, SD Express 7.0. The card will start shipping in March, 2021 and will come in a 256GB and a 512GB offering.
SD Express (SD 7.0) is the first memory card to apply a PCIe interface in an SD interface compatible with all the existing built-in SD slots. This innovation takes the SD Express 7.0 memory card to another performance level, closer to CF Express type A and UFS card, and is three times faster than UHS-II, the fastest card in the current removable device market.
SD Express cards can be considered a traditional UHS-I memory card with the PCIe interface and NVMe protocol. PCIe and NVMe are known worldwide for their high bandwidth and low latency storage capabilities. In anticipation of the next generation of high-performance mobile computing requirements, adding both architectures to SD Express delivers faster access to data files than the various legacy SD platforms.
SD Express cards can achieve speeds of up to 870MB/s with PCIe Gen3x1 supporting content applications and data generated by highly demanding system architectures.
