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.”

Today, Star Wars fans have another way to feel the power of the Force with three new collectible Seagate Hard Disk Drives (HDD) inspired by heroes and villains of the Star Wars galaxy. Featuring Luke Skywalker™, Darth Vader™, and Han Solo™, the latest additions to the company’s line of licensed special edition storage devices bring speed, capacity, and striking appearance to the battle stations of Star Wars collectors and tech enthusiasts.

The special edition FireCuda external hard drives represent the famed characters with three unique aesthetics: the courage of Luke Skywalker, the raw power of Darth Vader, and the confidence of the galaxy’s favorite smuggler, Han Solo. The drives offer customizable RGB LED lighting and each design features a default custom character light out-of-the-box: a forceful blue for Luke Skywalker, a wrathful red for Darth Vader, and a white glow reminiscent of the Millennium Falcon for Han Solo. With built-in and customizable lighting options, all three of the drives enable Star Wars enthusiasts and gamers to awaken the powers of the Force at home.
