Team Group Inc. is continuously dedicated in satisfying our customers’ needs in every respect. Today we announce the release of the elegant and thin Team C153/C155 premium flash drive. The body of the product is built with aluminum unibody case. The surface is abrasive blasted with features like anti-fingerprint and anti-corrosion anodization. It is an example of achieving aesthetic perfection through beautiful craftsmanship.

The exterior design of the C153/C155 is based on golden ratio to provide a chiseled shape. We also reduced the thickness to 7.1mm. The thinnest part at the outer edge is only 2.95mm thick which creates a thin but stereoscopic feel when consumers holding it in hand. In addition, the unique stereoscopic linear design on the product and trendy colors like the premium gold create an urban trend style that goes with today’s modern technology. The strap hole design can go with a strap to perfectly match with consumer’s personal belongings. It helps with avoiding the problem of losing the device, and it can also become a unique stylish accessory. It is a both elegant and efficient device that you must have.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., the world leader in advanced memory technology, today announced that it has begun mass producing the industry’s first 256-gigabit (Gb), three-dimensional (3D) Vertical NAND (V-NAND) flash memory based on 48 layers of 3-bit multi-level-cell (MLC) arrays for use in solid state drives (SSDs).

“With the introduction of our 3rd generation V-NAND flash memory to the global market, we can now provide the best advanced memory solutions, with even higher efficiency based on improved performance, power utilization and manufacturing productivity, thereby accelerating growth of the high-performance and the high-density SSD markets,” said Young-Hyun Jun, President of the Memory Business at Samsung Electronics. “By making full use of Samsung V-NAND’s excellent features, we will expand our premium-level business in the enterprise and data center market segments, as well as in the consumer market, while continuing to strengthen our strategic SSD focus.”

Silicon Power, the world’s leading provider of memory storage solutions, today announces the launch of its first dual USB drive – Mobile C80 with a USB Type-C connector and a standard USB Type-A connector. Type-C is the next-generation interface that will simplify all formats into one universal interface that will deliver both data and power between devices. Mobile C80 can absolutely fulfill the needs of storage space for Type-C ready smartphones, tablets, and notebooks. Type-C standard enables not only slim designs but also reversible connector which allows users to insert it into their device's port no matter which way up it is. Moreover, Mobile C80 has a USB 3.0 connector to truly bridge various computing devices and makes your digital life easier.

Type-C Interface Rules the Next Generation 
The announcements of new Apple MacBook and Chromebook Pixel in March this year have brought attention to USB Type-C interface, and it is gaining rapid support from top-tier PC and consumer electronics manufacturers. However, many users may suffer from relatively few and specific expansion slots of new-generation mobile devices, and it is costly for additional storage space. Mobile C80 delivers up to 64GB of instant capacity for you to transfer and store content. Without constraints of internet signals and different kinds of cables and adapters, C80 promises easier, faster and more stable data transmission. Inheriting from Jewel J80/ Firma F80, Mobile C80 retains the ergonomic circular shape for easy grasp and perfect keychain accessory, but adds a sturdy 360° swivel cap to protect the connector from harm when it is not in use. Moreover, the zinc alloy casing of C80 features sandblasting treatment that enables delicate touch and provides superior resistance to scratches and fingerprints.

ADATA Technology, a leading manufacturer of high performance DRAM modules and NAND flash products, today launched the Premier SP550 SSD, which uses triple-level cell (TLC) architecture to offer an affordable SSD without compromising performance. The Premier SP550 is the first ADATA drive to include the Silicon Motion (SMI) SM2256 controller, which uses NANDXtend technology to help ADATA implement SSD technologies such as data shaping, LDPC ECC, and a RAID engine for enhanced data protection, stability, and reliability. SLC caching technology has been implemented to boost performance.

“The launch of ADATA’s Premier SP550 SSD with our SM2256 client controller represents a milestone in SSD adoption,” said Nelson Duann, Silicon Motion’s Vice President of Product Marketing. “TLC-based SSDs significantly improve the affordability of high performance, low power SSDs.”

“Our Premier SP550 SSD integrates superior TLC NAND carefully selected and refined with ADATA quality assurance to deliver leading performance, data reliability, and endurance. It provides customers a clear choice for the best storage experience”, said Kevin Chen, Vice President of ADATA.
