Today, at Intel’s Memory and Storage 2020 event, the company highlighted six new memory and storage products to help customers meet the challenges of digital transformation. Key to advancing innovation across memory and storage, Intel announced two new additions to its Intel Optane Solid State Drive (SSD) Series: the Intel Optane SSD P5800X, the world’s fastest data center SSD, and the Intel Optane Memory H20 for client, which features performance and mainstream productivity for gaming and content creation. Optane helps meet the needs of modern computing by bringing the memory closer to the CPU. The company also revealed its intent to deliver its 3rd generation of Intel Optane persistent memory (code-named “Crow Pass”) for cloud and enterprise customers.

“Today is a key moment for our memory and storage journey. With the release of these new Optane products, we continue our innovation, strengthen our memory and storage portfolio, and enable our customers to better navigate the complexity of digital transformation. Optane products and technologies are becoming a mainstream element of business compute. And as a part of Intel, these leadership products are advancing our long-term growth priorities, including AI, 5G networking and the intelligent, autonomous edge.” –Alper Ilkbahar, Intel vice president in the Data Platforms Group and general manager of the Intel Optane Group

TerraMaster, a professional brand that specializes in providing innovative storage products including network-attached storage (NAS) devices, launches the U4-111 enterprise-class 4-bay networked storage server. It is powered by an Intel Celeron 1.5GHz (2.3GHz burst clock) quad-core processor and comes equipped with 4GB memory (upgradeable to 8GB). The TerraMaster U4-111 offers a balance of features to deliver a cost-effective storage solution with stable and reliable performance.

The U4-111 is a highly scalable storage server solution with four bays supporting up to 18TB hard drives, up to 72TB storage capacity in RAID mode, or up to 108TB storage capacity in single volume mode. It features built-in 10GbE networking and SSD cache technology to deliver fast and stable data transmission.

TEAMGROUP, a global leader in computer memory, has rapidly responded to market demand changes during the crucial transition period of next-generation DRAM technology. By integrating the newest technologies to promote its development of DDR5 memory, it has outpaced competitions and developed the first engineering sample of consumer-grade DDR5 memory. With this success, it will welcome the new DDR5 generation with consumers worldwide.

Presently, TEAMGROUP is working hard at producing its first batch of DDR5 memory with the tentative specifications of 16GB, 4800MHz, and 1.1V for a single module. The company is cooperating with major motherboard manufacturers, such as ASUS, MSI, ASRock, and GIGABYTE, providing memory and working together with their R&D divisions to perform validation tests. Through the collaboration of R&D teams, TEAMGROUP was able to accelerate the development of its DDR5 memory by adjusting the initial parameters. The successful completion of the validation phase will confirm that the frequencies of standard DDR5 products surpass those of overclocked DDR4 products, and will represent another big step forward in the evolution of computer memory.

Synology Inc. introduced its next-generation 8-bay NAS, the DS1821+. The new unit is a solution designed for high-capacity and high- performance data management and storage. Its solution ecosystem, versatile performance capabilities, and storage expandability enable content creators and businesses to have peace of mind as they store and secure their files.

"As data requirements grow, so do the expectations of our customers for a solution that can meet the ever-increasing performance and capacity requirements," said Julien Chen, Synology Product Manager. "The DS1821+ is specifically designed for customers wanting a versatile storage solution, even in demanding multi-user environments."

QNAP Systems, Inc., a leading computing, networking and storage solution innovator, today launched the TS-832PX, 8-bay NAS featuring two 10GbE SFP+ and 2.5GbE RJ45 ports, with a PCIe Gen2 x2 slot for adding extra functionality. The TS-832PX supports multi-cloud backup, cloud storage gateways, remote access, AI photo management and additional features for small businesses to build an efficient high-speed network environment.

With a quad-core 1.7 GHz processor, 4 GB DDR4 RAM (expandable to 16 GB), two 10GbE SFP+ ports, and two 2.5GbE ports, the TS-832PX provides the performance and connectivity to make next-generation networking a reality for businesses and organizations. The TS-832PX marks QNAP’s continued commitment to high-speed networking alongside other solutions like QNAP’s 10GbE/2.5GbE managed/unmanaged switches and network adapters.

To meet the burgeoning demand for higher performance parts in the booming PC gaming market, TEAMGROUP’s gaming brand T-FORCE launches the DARK Z FPS Gaming Memory and Cardea IOPS Gaming PCIe SSD at the end of 2020. Players who upgrade with these powerful new components will experience superior performance and be able to dominate the digital arena.

The T-FORCE DARK Z FPS, as its name implies, was created to improve frames-per-second. It is tastefully designed with a plated T-FORCE logo in the center, matching lines extending to the edges, and armor-like metal that surrounds the board to give the product a striking, futuristic look. The DARK Z FPS features RAM speeds of up to 4000MHz and a low CAS latency of CL16. After undergoing rigorous testing with one of the world’s most popular shooters, PUBG, T-FORCE developed this gaming RAM that provides up to 20% more FPS than normal memory. A significant FPS advantage can be felt when it processes high-speed movements and changes to in-game scenery. This faster performance allows players to enjoy more satisfying gunplay and gives them an edge in the battlefield where every second counts.

Vinpower Digital (“Vinpower”), a recognized global manufacturer and distributor of digital duplication equipment and accessories, is announcing the release of the new exclusive BDR-212V 16x internal BD/DVD/CD Half Height Optical Disc Drive (ODD), in collaboration with Pioneer Corporation (“Pioneer”).

As a global leader in the duplication market, Vinpower continues to see strong demand for single layer 4.7GB DVD-R and DVD+R (“DVD5”) recordable media around the globe. However, most of the standard DVD writer drives on the market are not suitable for large scale constant DVD5 recording, as is needed in the duplication market. To overcome this lack of capabilities with DVD5 media, Vinpower joined forces with Pioneer to create the Pioneer BDR-212V drive. The BDR-212V drive is a Blu-ray/DVD/CD writer drive in which the DVD±R writing functionality has been enhanced by greatly decreasing the visibility of uneven symmetrical burn-in marks on the disc’s recording side (often referred to as Donut Rings), specifically for the popular single layer DVD5 media, especially fine tuning the burning strategy for the OPTODISC line of DVD, including 16x DVD-R, 16x DVD+R, 8x DVD-R, and 8x DVD+R.
