Micron Technology, Inc., today announced it is shipping the world’s first 176-layer NAND SATA SSD designed for data center workloads. The Micron 5400 SATA SSD is the most advanced data center SATA SSD available. Built on a proven 11th generation SATA architecture, the Micron 5400 SSD enables broad use cases, delivers significantly better performance than traditional hard disk drives (HDDs), and extends the life of SATA platforms.

“Micron is uniquely positioned to lead the SATA market with 176-layer NAND,” said Alvaro Toledo, vice president and general manager of Data Center Storage at Micron. “This cutting-edge NAND enables long-term availability of SATA SSDs while extending a trusted architecture that speeds and simplifies customer qualifications.”

Sonnet Technologies today announced the Sonnet M.2 2x4 Low-profile PCIe® Card, the latest offering in the company’s popular family of high-performance storage adapter cards that enable the installation of multiple SSDs into a computer’s or Thunderbolt expansion system’s PCIe card slot. The low-profile, half-length PCIe 3.0 card features two M-keyed NVMe M.2 SSD slots that support the installation of M.2 form factor NVMe PCIe SSDs.

The Sonnet M.2 2x4 Low-profile PCIe Card enables users to mount two M.2 NVMe 2280 PCIe SSDs (sold separately) into almost any expansion card space with an available x8 or x16 PCIe card slot; using today’s highest-capacity SSDs, up to 16TB of storage capacity may be installed. RAID 0, RAID 1, and JBOD configurations are supported, providing users with flexibility in configuring the SSDs for best performance or data safety, or both.

In response to the evolution of industrial DDR5 memory platform specifications, global memory brand TEAMGROUP has utilized its outstanding R&D capabilities to develop the first industrial U-DIMM, SO-DIMM, ECC-DIMM, and R-DIMM DDR5 memory modules at 5,600MHz clock speeds and run at 1.1V. They are expected to meet the diverse needs of next-generation platforms, Intel Raptor Lake and AMD Raphael-X, with high-performance specifications in line with JEDEC standards, accelerating the development of high-end industrial applications.

TEAMGROUP has been making strides in the industrial market for years and is focused on DDR5 memory applications. The company previously developed a complete range of DDR5 4,800MHz modules, and now thanks to its industry-leading R&D, TEAMGROUP has successfully increased the frequencies of its DDR5 product line to 5,600MHz. For added security in industrial applications, an SPD Write Protection feature was also adopted, which prevents SPD parameter changes caused by abnormal interference. With these enhancements, the risk of shutdown is greatly reduced and the memory is able to operate with substantially improved performance and stability.

Synology announced today the launch of the Deep Learning NVR DVA1622 as it expands its efficacious line of deep learning network video recorders with a solution for smaller deployments. Synology previously launched the four-bay DVA3221 to put AI-powered surveillance in the hands of small and medium-sized businesses. For the first time, the new two-bay DVA1622 brings AI-powered analytics within reach of small businesses and households.

A tailored solution for local use
The DVA1622 allows home users, shop owners, and others to profit from up to two simultaneous smart analytics tasks while monitoring up to 16 cameras in the smallest possible footprint. In addition, unlike its larger brother, the DVA1622 supports HDMI output for up to 16 streams on one screen and local controls via two USB ports, eliminating the need for a PC to monitor and manage your deployment.

"We designed the DVA1622 specifically with the needs of small and home users in mind," said Tony Lin, product manager for surveillance at Synology Inc. "That doesn't mean right-sizing its capacity, but also adding additional features to make sure that it can be used with a monitor, mouse, and keyboard for an all-in-one, standalone surveillance solution."

addlink Technology Co., Ltd, a global storage and memory solution provider, is introducing a new PCIe 4.0 SSD, the S90 Lite, featuring storage capacities of up to 2TB and offer speeds up to 5000MB/s. It is compatible with the latest Intel/AMD PC and laptop computer platforms.

The S90 Lite uses the latest Gen4x4 NVMe controller and 176-layer 3D TLC NAND flash. It utilizes PCIe Gen4x4 and NVMe 1.4 protocol as an interface to achieve rapid sequential read and write speeds up to 5000/4500 MB per second, which is ten times faster than a SATA III SSD. The SSD drive is also backward compatible with the PCIe Gen3 system.

Today, CDRLabs brings you a review of Silicon Power's Armor A66 portable hard drive. Available in 1TB, 2TB, 4TB and 5TB capacities, this rugged, all-terrain USB 3.2 Gen 1 hard drive meets the U.S. military's drop-test standards. Along with a protective rubber bumper that provides 360˚ protection, the Armor A66 is equipped with an advanced suspension system that reduces impact force and increases shock-absorption. In addition, the drive offers IPX4 water-resistance that protects it against splashing from any direction.

Micron Technology, Inc., today announced expansions to its embedded product portfolio and ecosystem partnerships to deliver powerful solutions optimized for complex memory and storage demands at the intelligent edge. The company is sampling to customers the world’s highest-capacity microSD card, the i400, at an unprecedented density of 1.5 terabytes (TB). This card is designed for industrial-grade video security with the world’s first 176-layer 3D NAND, also pioneered by Micron. To better provide its high-performance, ruggedized solutions to the industrial market, Micron is also adding partners to its Industrial Quotient (IQ) partner program. Additionally, the company is announcing it has received the first International Organization of Standardization (ISO) 26262 Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) D certification of memory for its low-power double data rate 5 (LPDDR5) DRAM, which is based on its first-to-market 1α (1-alpha) process node. With next-generation advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) applications requiring increasing levels of autonomy and safety, this certification validates that Micron’s LPDDR5 meets strict functional safety standards and positions it to enable innovations that will unleash full autonomy in intelligent vehicles.
