Toshiba Electronics Europe announces that its 12Gb/s SAS 15,000 RPM enterprise HDDs - the AL13SX Series - and eSSDs - PX03SN Series - have earned VMware Virtual SAN 6.0 and 5.5 certification for VMware vSphere environments. Virtual SAN for VMware vSphere 6.0 is a hypervisor-converged storage platform that was released in March to deliver the benefits of software-defined storage to the data centre.

  Scientists at the University of Liverpool have developed a new material that combines both electrical and magnetic order at room temperature, using a design approach which may enable the development of low-energy computer memory technologies.

A new monolithic high-speed, low-voltage CMOS double data rate 3 synchronous DRAM (DDR3L SDRAM) with an 8-Gb density in the 96-ball, 9-mm by 14-mm, lead (Pb)-free FBGA package from Alliance is available at MSC Technologies.. Featuring silicon provided by Micron Technology, the AS4C512M16D3L (512M x 16) offers a double data rate architecture for extremely fast transfer rates of up to 1600Mbps/pin and clock rates of 800MHz.

Scientists have made promising steps in developing a new magnetic memory technology, which is far less susceptible to corruption by magnetic fields or thermal exposure than conventional devices. The findings report the use of magnetic permeability, how easily a magnetic field will magnetise a material, and are published in the Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics.

Toshiba Electronics Europe has announced that its PX02SM Enterprise SSD series has achieved VMware Ready status. This designation indicates that after a detailed validation process the PX02SM Enterprise SSD series PX02SMB160 has achieved VMware’s highest level of endorsement, and can be found on the VMware Solution Exchange (VSX).

Toshiba Electronics Europe has launched an SDHC card that combines Class 10 memory with TransferJet close proximity wireless transfer technology. The 16GB SDHC card, THN-J301W0160E6, will enable users of digital still cameras or camcorders to quickly transfer photos and videos to mobile devices such as tablets, notebooks and smartphones equipped with TransferJet adapters.

Toshiba Electronics Europe has extended its range of EXCERIA memory cards. These additions are made up of a Compact Flash (CF) card, SD and MicroSD cards, all of which combine large capacity and high read and write speeds, making them suitable for full HD 4K video recording in a professional context.

A range of synchronous DRAMs from Alliance Memory featuring state-of-the-art silicon from Micron Technology is in stock at Solid State Supplies. The devices are a high-speed, low-voltage 8-Gbit DDR3L SDRAM (Double Data Rate 3 synchronous DRAM) memory and three 512-Mbit SDRAM chips that are 100% equivalent to discontinued memory ICs from Micron.

Microsemi has announced an ANSI/VITA 42.3-2014-compliant PCI Express interface XMC form factor SATA SSD for industrial and defence applications where ultimate security for data-at-rest is required. As part of Microsemi’s TRRUST-Stor best-in-class Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) technology offerings, the XMC offers powerful key management methods. In the most advanced method, no encryption key is stored in the SSD, leaving data forensically unre...

  A family of robust ECC DRAM components withstanding even the highest operating temperatures and stress has been released by Intelligent Memory.
