QNAP Systems, Inc. today released the latest CloudLink app that improves the remote access functions of the myQNAPcloud service, making it easy for users to access their QNAP devices anytime through the Internet without complicated domain redirection processes. By installing the CloudLink app, users can timely access the files on a QNAP NAS using myQNAPcloud (www.myqnapcloud.com) or by sharing download links with contacts to track the task status. Users can also simultaneously download and sync files to a remote NAS from shared links without needing to first save them to a PC/Mac.
QNAP is devoted to further developing myQNAPcloud services and in order to provide greater resources to this development, it will unfortunately require the discontinuation of support for MyCloudNAS from January 15, 2016.

Transcend Information, Inc. (Transcend), a leading manufacturer of industrial-grade products, is proud to announce its newly developed SuperMLC technology featuring a cost effective solution yet with nearly equivalent performance to SLC NAND flash. By adjusting firmware coding and preselecting high quality flash chips, Transcend has successfully developed SuperMLC technology that breaks through the performance bottleneck in small capacity SSD to reach 4 times of sequential write than MLC NAND flash and up to 30,000 times of P/E cycles. Upcoming in 2016, Transcend plans to release brand new industrial-grade SSD models embedded with SuperMLC technology, offering industrial enterprises ideal alternative to SLC-based solutions for superior quality at affordable prices.
Transcend Exclusive SuperMLC Technology
Between Single-Level Cell (SLC) and Multi-Level Cell (MLC) NAND flash, Transcend has successfully developed SuperMLC technology by reprogramming the two bits per cell of MLC into one bit per cell to greatly boost its performance and endurance, especially in small capacity SSD. The sequential write speed can reach up to 4 times faster than MLC flash chips and provides up to 30,000 times of P/E cycles. SuperMLC technology offers better reliability and endurance than MLC flash chips though this practice halves capacity considering the double occupation of cells for two bits. It is still a good tradeoff for industrial enterprises to obtain superior quality that is nearly equivalent to SLC NAND flash at the most cost-effective price. Transcend SSDs with SuperMLC technology aim at industrial-grade applications, such as embedded automation computers, engineering machines and fanless PCs.

Silicon Power, the world’s leading provider of memory storage solutions, today introduces the comprehensive lineup of Apple storage products to meet increasing iOS users’ demands for storage expansion. Incorporating wide range of products including USB flash drives, expansion cards, portable hard drives and external SSD, the SP Apple Series is about to satisfy all kinds of memory expansion needs with ease and little cost.
Instantly Add More Space for Apple Handsets with Multiple Interfaces
According to Gartner, the well-known research and advisory company, Apple’s iOS mobile platform saw its great slice of the smartphone pie with 17.9% for the first quarter of 2015. Moreover, the research corporation-IDC also addressed that Apple sold around 48 million iPhones during the third quarter of 2015, which outperformed the sales during the same period in 2014. However, the Institute for Information Industry recently released a report indicating that more than 35% of iPhone users claimed that the biggest problem they have encountered is “No enough storage available”. Additionally, the big price gap between iPhones/iPads with different capacities also troubles many users for they have to spend much more money to upgrade the storage. The problems of “Space Shortage” and “High cost” imply that there are more and more users looking for cost-effective iOS-supported memory storage devices. In response to such booing demands, Silicon Power offers the SP xDrive Z30 Lightning USB drive that enables easy storage expansion for iOS handsets. Furthermore, the Z30 features dual-interface design with Lightning and USB 3.0 connectors that make the drive a perfect bridge to move photos and videos among iOS handsets, desktops and laptops. In addition to Lightning-interface application, SP also takes the upcoming trend of USB Type-C into consideration and therefore introduces the Mobile C80 dual USB drive, which incorporates two connectors with Type-C and USB 3.0 interfaces. Equipped with the dual-connector design, the C80 enables data backup and transmission between devices with USB Type-C or USB Type-A ports.
