ADATA Technology, a leading manufacturer of industrial-grade DRAM modules, and NAND Flash products, today announces the launch of a new generation of 112-layer stacked BiCS5 3D NAND SSDs with higher capacities and a major leap forward in performance. They are geared toward assisting the development of 5G, IoT, AI, Netcom, server, and other applications. According to a GSA report, 169 operators in 70 countries are providing 5G services as of May 2021, and applications such as smart logistics, telemedicine, autonomous driving, and security monitoring will flourish as 5G becomes more mature. In light of this, advanced 3D NAND technology is critical to offering durable, reliable, stable, and efficient storage products to handle the processing of larger volumes of data at higher speeds. Therefore, ADATA has focused on the development of a new generation of BiCS5 series industrial-grade SSDs. It is expected to start sample deliveries in September and begin mass production in Q4 2021.
To meet customer expectations for cost, performance, and compatibility, ADATA BiCS5 series SSDs feature 112-tier 3D TLC flash memory developed by WD and KIOXIA with 2.5-inch, M.2 2280, M.2 2242 dimensions. They also come with mainstream specifications such as mSATA, supports SATA III and PCIe Gen3x4 high-speed transmission interfaces, and feature capacities ranging from 128GB to 4TB. In addition to the rapid processing of large volumes of data, they are also suitable as system storage devices and boot drives. At the same time, to offer excellent stability for high-speed transmissions, they sport high P/E Cycle (program/erase) ratings of 3,000 times to distribute program/erase cycles evenly among blocks for a longer product lifespan, wear leveling for extended lifespans, and LDPC error correcting code to ensure data accuracy.

Add a commentADATA Technology, a manufacturer of high-performance DRAM modules, NAND Flash products, mobile accessories, gaming products, electric power trains, and industrial solutions, today unveiled the ADATA PROSPECTOR 970 and PROSPECTOR 950 PCIe solid state drives. Geared toward Chia coin farming (a.k.a. plotting), the SSDs sports high capacities of up to 2TB, excellent read and write performance, and robust durability.
Endurance for Chia Farming
Unlike other cryptocurrencies that are based on a “proof of work” system, Chia coins follow a “proof of space and time” system that is less energy-intensive and requires plentiful hard drive space for storage plotting. To meet the requirements of Chia farming, ADATA has developed the PROSPECTOR series. Designed for continuous operation, the SSDs are especially durable. The PROSPECTOR 970 has a Total Bytes Written (TBW) value of 56,000 while the PROSPECTOR 950 has a value of 28,000, which are at least 40 times higher than ordinary PCIe SSDs. TBW directly measures how much can be written cumulatively into a drive over its lifetime. What’s is more, the PROSPECTOR also sports a high Program-Erase (P/E) cycle rating. An SSD’s P/E cycle indicates its lifetime based on the number of P/E cycles it can endure.
PNY announced today the launch of the LX2030 and LX3030 line of ultra high endurance SSDs to the company's assortment of solid state drives. The new LX families of SSDs offer ever higher levels of endurance designed for "proof of space and time" applications like Chia (XCH) Plotting.
Designed for Plotting
The PNY LX2030 and LX3030 M.2 NVMe SSDs are the ideal solution for "proof of space and time" applications like plotting Chia Coin. Unlike "proof of work" models like bitcoin which consume large amounts of power by requiring the miners to do complex mathematical calculations, "proof of space and time" applications utilize the unused space on a users' systems, making it a more energy efficient and environmentally conscious model. To secure the blockchain, the data needs to be first created in a process called "plotting", which is only required once per plot file. This process is write intensive, so a desirable SSD for plotting has high sustained write bandwidth and endurance (TBW, or terabytes written). Typically this level of write performance and endurance was only seen on enterprise class SSDs.
