Lite-On Storage, a rising player in the rapidly expanding solid-state drive (SSD) industry, said today it will release SSDs later this year with 3D NAND flash technology.
The company will showcase its latest drives during an invitation only press event at this week’s CES 2017 in Las Vegas.
Lite-On will become the latest of a growing number of SSD vendors to embrace the 3D NAND technology for its vastly improved speed, performance, reliability, and cost benefits.
3D NAND is an emerging flash design where memory cells are stacked vertically and in multiple layers – a bit like a skyscraper to store more data at lower costs. It enables enterprise organizations to retain dramatically higher volumes of data for a lower cost per byte.
That’s likely one reason why the global 3D NAND flash market is projected to reach 9.7 billion units in 2020 at a CAGR of 89%, and explode at a petabyte growth of 129% from 2015-2010, according to Forward Insights.

ZADAK Lab is thrilled to achieve the honor of being the only brand with the distinction of having overcame the challenges of developing RGB LED illuminated SSDs and memory modules. LED lighting memory module with single color? An external LED SSD with low capacity? It was really different before the ZADAK511 SHIELD RGB Series. The ZADAK team is comfortably over those limits. SHIELD RGB DDR4 and SHIELD RGB Dual Interface SSD are pretty groundbreaking products. They really set the standard for the design and functionality of memory modules and SSD for next one to two years. It is a revolution.
The patented SHIELD RGB Dual Interface SSD is one of the most beautiful designs you have ever seen. Distinguished from other SSD, ZADAK team employs various metal materials and exquisite workmanship to create multi-level design on the upper cover, making the look of SHIELD SSD from 2D to 3D. Not merely the sense of vision but the tactile amazes those PC enthusiasts which makes this SSD a legend. Besides the high speed SATAIII and USB3.1 TYPE-C Gen2, the high performance SHIELD SSD adopts MLC NAND Flash with a rigorous testing process so that the important documents can be stored safely. The sequential read and write speed on both connectors are 550MB/s and 480MB/s.
