Micron Technology, Inc., today announced it is shipping the Micron 2550 NVMe™ SSD to global PC OEM customers for use in mainstream laptops and desktops. The 2550 is the world’s first client SSD to ship using NAND over 200 layers. Delivering performance that eclipses the competition through its density and power advantages, the 2550 provides users with responsiveness and the low power consumption needed to extend battery life for work and home PCs.

“We focused on delivering a superior user experience for PC users with this SSD,” said Praveen Vaidyanathan, vice president and general manager of the Client Storage Group at Micron. “The new 2550 SSD builds on our established and broadly adopted PCIe Gen4 architecture. It also incorporates Micron’s industry-leading 232-layer NAND and focuses on thermal architecture and power design. These capabilities deliver impressive application performance and phenomenal power savings.”

TEAMGROUP, the global leader in industrial memory modules, launches the brand’s first industrial grade PCIe Gen4x4 M.2 2280 SSD, P845-M80. With the adoption of the ultra-fast Gen4x4 interface, it delivers an exceptional reading/writing performance for a large data amount. Equipped with BiCS5 112-layer 3D NAND flash memory, it is a highly cost-competitive solution that accelerates the development of biomedical innovation and digital medicine applications. P845-M80 comes in a maximum capacity of 2TB and meets the NVMe 2.0 standards. Its bandwidth and data transmission speed are twice that of its predecessor PCIe Gen3, making it even more ideal for the transmission of large amounts of data. Meanwhile, its 3K P/E cycles make it the best memory solution in both performance and durability.

In the wake of the global pandemic, science and digital medicine is rapidly on the rise in innovative biomedical fields. In response to the significant increase in the demand for high-performance image processing and stable storage, TEAMGROUP introduces the PCIe Gen4x4 industrial grade SSD with the adoption of an 8-channel controller and optional patented graphene and aluminum fin heat dissipation technologies. It effectively reduces the thermal energy generated from high-speed reading and writing and maintains system stability. The patented graphene heat dissipation technology (US invention patent number: US 110,513,92 B2 / Taiwan invention patent number: I703921) features a small volume and agility in application, suitable for machines of smaller sizes. Whereas, the patented aluminum fin heat dissipation technology (Taiwan utility model patent number: M541645) enables maximum heat dissipation and prolongs product service life. Both technologies are novel options for biomedical innovators, offering stability, high speed, and low latency.

Unigen Corporation has introduced the Oncilla PCIe Gen 4.0 M.2 2280 SSD. The high-performance solution pairs the latest advanced PCIe Gen 4.0 SSD controller with high endurance eTLC NAND Flash to deliver the fastest M.2 2280 to the performance market. Capable of 7400MB/s Sequential Read performance, the Oncilla is perfect for workstation media applications where transferring large video files must be as fast as possible to process large datasets during VFX (Visual Effects) and post processing operations for Hollywood.

The ability to perform at the highest level is also required for high performance OS boot and application drives in data centers and mission critical network appliances. For these applications optional features such as industrial temperatures and higher endurance NAND are available upon request.

Transcend Information, Inc. (Transcend), a leading manufacturer of embedded memory products, recently released a complete range of 112-layer 3D NAND SLC Mode solid-state drives (SSDs). Simulating the behavior of SLC flash, these 3D NAND-based SSDs deliver competitive transfer speeds and longer service life, with endurance reaching 100K P/E cycles. Their cost advantage and high endurance make SLC Mode SSDs ideal for always-on embedded systems and write-intensive devices, bringing high reliability and stability to industrial storage applications.

Organizations and enterprises are increasingly tackling an exponential growth of data. Such challenges require resilient storage devices to transfer large amounts of information. Transcend's SLC Mode technology resolves this dilemma by simulating SLC flash performance and endurance using 3D TLC-based flash, allowing only one bit of data to be stored in a cell. This not only guarantees sustained high speeds and greater endurance, but also provides clients with a more cost-effective option. To cope with various types of operating environments, Transcend utilizes anti-sulfur resistors, Corner Bond technology, and 30µ” gold finger PCBs to ensure key components are able to withstand shock, vibration, and external pollution. Transcend's SSDs are 100% chamber tested in-house, certifying that our wide temperature SLC Mode SSDs are capable of operating at temperatures from -40°C to 85°C.

With the rising popularity of visual media creation, video recording and photo shooting have become increasingly professional. To meet the demand for reliable and top-quality media storage solutions, T-CREATE, the creator sub-brand of TEAMGROUP, has announced two high-end memory cards for professional high-definition video creation and photography, both rated IP67 for dust and water resistance: the T-CREATE EXPERT SDXC UHS-II U3 V90 Memory Card and T-CREATE EXPERT SDXC UHS-II U3 V60 Memory Card. Whether for everyday professional photography and high-definition action shots; or 8K, 4K Ultra-HD, and 3D video recording, the T-CREATE EXPERT Memory Cards are the perfect tools for capturing the ever-changing beauty before creators’ lenses.

Rated at UHS Speed Class 3 (U3) and Video Speed Class 90 (V90), the T-CREATE EXPERT SDXC UHS-II U3 V90 Memory Card offers exceptional read speeds of up to 300MB/s and write speeds of up to 260MB/s, allowing professional creators to snap exciting images in high-definition or record video in 8K, 4K, Ultra-HD, and 3D. Whether it's for interviews, location recording, outdoor photography, or other visual-focused content, the T-CREATE EXPERT V90 Memory Card provides photographers and videographers with high-quality images that pick up life-like details and motions.

SMART Modular Technologies, Inc. (“SMART”), a division of SGH and a global leader in memory solutions, solid-state drives and hybrid storage products announces that it is now offering a new class of high performance, power efficient, data center solid state disk drives (SSDs) beginning with the DC4800 PCIe Gen 4 family.

SMART’s DC4800 devices are designed with a specialized hardware-accelerated SSD controller that draws less power without compromising storage input/output (I/O) performance. Zero-induced throttling allows these SSDs to perform better under continued duress, even when they are pushed to their performance limit. This translates to significant power consumption improvement per server, as well as consistent latency performance of up to 7-nines or 99.99999% of the time.

QNAP Systems, Inc., a leading computing, networking, and storage solution innovator, introduced new QM2 PCIe Gen 3 expansion cards: the QM2-2P-344A and QM2-2P-384A. QM2 cards can be installed in compatible QNAP NAS or Windows®/Linux® PCs/workstations to add M.2 NVMe SSD slots (M.2 SSD sold separately) for boosting system performance and increasing storage capacity.

“The QM2-2P-344A and QM2-2P-384A are a budget-friendly expansion solution for both QNAP NAS and PC/workstations, providing flexible M.2 NVMe SSD configuration with easy-to-use tool-free installation,” said Andy Chuang, Product Manager of QNAP, adding “Compared with SATA-based SSDs, the QM2’s PCIe interface provides higher bandwidth to deliver faster transfer speed and data access.”
