Greenliant is now sampling its new NVMe NANDrive ball grid array (BGA) solid state drives (SSDs) to customers requiring reliable, high performance data storage for embedded systems used in high stress, extreme environments. Operating between -40 and +95 degrees Celsius, NVMe NANDrive SSDs support the PCIe Gen3x4 interface and are built in an industry standard M.2 1620 (16 x 20mm, 291-ball) package.

“Building on our proven track record with PATA, SATA and eMMC NANDrive, Greenliant delivers another outstanding high reliability BGA SSD, now with the high speed PCIe NVMe interface, and features that meet the requirements of the most demanding applications,” said Arthur Kroyan, vice president, business development and marketing, Greenliant.

The NVMe NANDrive EX Series using Greenliant EnduroSLC™ Technology offers superior data retention and ultra-high endurance of 75,000, 150,000 or 400,000 program-erase (P/E) cycles (up to 17,800 TeraBytes Written (TBW)). NVMe NANDrive EX Series SSDs are available in 20 GB, 40 GB, 80 GB and 160 GB capacities. For long-life applications, NVMe NANDrive EX Series SSDs are included in Greenliant’s Long-Term Availability (LTA) program (https://bit.ly/SSD-LTA-program).

Kingston Digital, Inc., the Flash memory affiliate of Kingston Technology Company, Inc., a world leader in memory products and technology solutions, announced today it had developed a line of Industrial Temp solid-state drives specifically for system builders and design engineers that require a wider operating temperature range for extreme environments. These SSDs are designed for devices such as self-serve kiosks, digital signage, robots, point of sale, and military and agriculture applications among others.

With support for SATA interfaces, these industrial SSDs will be available in 128GB through 1TB capacities in industrial operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) to address climate-controlled and non-climate-controlled environments. Kingston i-Temp SATA SSDs include 2.5-inch and M.2 2280 form factors to offer advanced SATA 3, 6Gbps controllers that automatically perform wear-leveling, garbage collection and other vital NAND Flash management features. They also incorporate high speed next-generation 3D NAND Flash Memory and are drop-in replacements for HDDs delivering higher reliability and up to 20x greater performance.

Thermaltake, a leading PC DIY brand for premium hardware solutions, is proud to announce the launch of the MS-1 M.2 2280 SSD Cooler. The MS-1 Cooler features an active high-speed micro fan, direct-contact heat pipe, and a high-quality aluminum heatsink, keeping the Gen5 SSD cool effectively. With this latest cooler, you can prevent SSDs from overheating and achieve a smoother gaming experience.

Upgrading to a Gen5 SSD with higher read/write speeds can accelerate your PCs’ loading time. However, without proper heat dissipation, the high temperature may cause a significant reduction in the SDDs performance. The MS-1 M.2 2280 SSD Cooler can help you solve this problem! It comes with an active cooling system that can lower temperature efficiently, enabling you to enjoy gameplay with read/write speeds exceeding 10K.

TerraMaster, a professional brand that focuses on providing innovative storage products for homes and businesses, announces the brand new TOS 6 Beta operating system with more than 40 new functions and 370 improvements, providing TNAS users with an unparalleled upgrade experience. From the new user interface to enhanced data security, every aspect has been carefully refined to ensure users have the most advanced solutions to storage and administration.

TOS 6 is TerraMaster the most powerful terminal operating system to date, bringing users an unprecedented experience.

TOS 6 Operating System Key Features

The Latest Linux Kernel
The kernel of TOS 6 is based on the latest Linux Kernel 6.1 LTS, which introduces MG-LRU to enhance system performance, significantly improves the performance of the btrfs file system, adds erofs for cross-file system data sharing, prepares for support of the Intel Meteor Lake 5nm chip, merges the Kernel Memory Sanitizer (KMSAN) for enhanced memory management, achieves faster Intel memory error decoding via the EDAC driver, introduces support for the Maple Tree data structure, and implements new security controls on the ability to create user namespaces.

ASUSTOR Inc. has updated the hard drive compatibility list by adding Seagate’s IronWolf Pro 24 TB high-capacity NAS hard drive. The listed model is ST24000NT002. IronWolf Pro is designed for businesses and those that want the very most in data capacity. Using Seagate’s 24 TB hard drives in conjunction with the largest ASUSTOR NAS devices means that some ASUSTOR NAS devices can support up to just under 400 TB.

24 TB drives also help ASUSTOR's MyArchive feature. The use of 24 TB hard drives helps make the backup process with MyArchive easier by using fewer drives. This helps facilitate safe 3-2-1 backups as well as providing as much archival storage as needed. Need even more space? Use the Xpanstor 4, one of the only expansion units featuring a 10 Gbps USB interface. It also supports MyArchive cold backup technology even on NAS devices that don’t support hard drives. In addition to the additional 96 TB storage space provided by the four hard drive bays, the USB 3.2 Gen 2 port greatly increases the performance.

Apricorn, the leading manufacturer of software-free, 256-bit AES XTS hardware-encrypted USB data storage devices, today announced the release of a 24TB version of its Aegis Padlock DT and Padlock DT FIPS Desktop Drives. Continuing its position as an industry leader, Apricorn is the first to bring a 24TB encrypted drive to market, delivering high performance and mass capacity to industries such as healthcare, financial services, education, and government, while ensuring the security of users’ data. This is the third time Apricorn has brought to market the industry’s largest capacity hardware encrypted USB drive, having previously done so in 20TB and 22TB sizes.

“Microsoft this month disclosed that the nation state attack it identified in January was still not fully contained. Since Microsoft is so deeply entrenched in just about every facet of our workflow, encrypting and storing data offline adds a layer of protection and resilience in the face of potential future attacks that could stem from breaches of this nature,” said Kurt Markley, U.S. Managing Director at Apricorn. “The Aegis Padlock DT line is an ideal way for large organizations to protect vast amounts of data at rest in a highly secure and economic way.”
