Delivering better transfer speeds and power efficiency, Toshiba Electronics Europe has announced the new SG6 series, the latest Toshiba client SSD to feature 64-layer, 3-bit-per-cell TLC (triple-level cell) BiCS FLASH. This family of SSDs is designed for mainstream desktops and notebooks, consumer upgrades, as well as applications needing data security.

Provider of semiconductor solutions, Microsemi, has announced the production release of its Flashtec NVM Express (NVMe) 2108 eight-channel controllers, enabling enterprises and data centres worldwide to realise cost and power efficient high capacity Solid State Drives (SSDs).

Based on its latest 64 layer, 3-bit-per-cell TLC (triple-level cell) BiCS FLASH, Toshiba Electronics Europe has announced the availability of the BG3 series, its next-gen single-package ball grid array (BGA) solid state drive (SSD) product line. Designed to fuel the future of mobile devices, Toshiba claims that the BG3 SSDs deliver better performance and a smaller footprint than traditional SATA-based drives.

Research scientists have achieved a new world record in tape storage – their fifth since 2006. The new record of 201 Gb/in2 in areal density was achieved on a prototype sputtered magnetic tape developed by Sony Storage Media Solutions. The scientists presented the achievement today at the 28th Magnetic Recording Conference (TMRC 2017) here.

Manufacturer of flash memory solutions, Swissbit, will be exhibiting its latest memory innovations at the Flash Memory Summit 2017 in Santa Clara, California (8-10th August, 2017).

Magnets and magnetic phenomena underpin the vast majority of modern data storage, and the measurement scales for research focused on magnetic behaviors continue to shrink with the rest of digital technology. Skyrmions, for example, are a kind of nanomagnet, composed of a spin-correlated ensemble of electrons acting as a topological magnet on certain microscopic surfaces. The precise properties, like spin orientation, of such nanomagnets can store...

In response to consumer needs for faster big data processing and real-time computing, Apacer Technology has launched the industrial-grade PM110-M280, a high-performance PCIe SSD suitable for cloud computing, IoT, and virtual environments. This enterprise SSD features a PCIe Gen3 x4 interface for faster transmission speeds and supports industry-leading NVMe, greatly improving IOPS and low latency performance and pushing through the bottleneck of p...

Toshiba Memory has announced development of the world’s first BiCS FLASH three-dimensional (3D) flash memory utilising Through Silicon Via (TSV) technology with 3-bit-per-cell (triple-level cell, TLC) technology. Shipments of prototypes for development purposes started in June, and product samples are scheduled for release in the second half of 2017. The prototype of this ground-breaking device will be showcased at the 2017 Flash Memory Sum...

Manufacturer of flash memory solutions, Swissbit, has reached a key milestone with its MLC technology durabit. In December 2016, for the first time, a third of all flash products sold by Swissbit were based on MLC (Multi Level Cell). At the same time, sales of SLC products (Single Level Cell) also increased, firmly establishing Swissbit as a leading provider of industrial flash memory products. Traditionally, demanding applications in indust...

Nexus Industrial Memory hat in Zusammenarbeit mit Datakey kürzlich ein Whitepaper über die industrielle Nutzung von SD-Speicher verfasst, welches die wichtigsten Unterschiede zwischen den verfügbaren Lösungen betrachtet. Es wird erörtert, welche die sinnvollste Herangehensweise ist, um SD-Speicher unter besonders rauen und fordernden Umgebungsbedingungen einsetzen zu können und dabei häufig auftretende Probleme ...
