Manufacturer: RiDATA
Provided By: Ritek USA
As the world’s largest manufacturer of optical storage media, Ritek doesn't need much of an introduction. The company got its start in 1988 and quickly established itself as a leader in the industry by producing the first CD in Taiwan. Ritek raised the bar once again a few years later by producing the country's first DVD and recordable DVD-R media. Today, Ritek manufactures everything from CD-R to Blu-ray Disc media for companies like Maxell, Memorex and TDK as well as its own subsidiary, RiDATA.
While best known for their recordable media, Ritek's RiDATA brand offers a wide range of flash-based storage products including memory cards, USB flash drives and solid-state drives (SSD). One of the latest additions to their product lineup is the X Series SSD. Based on JMicron's JFM612 controller chip, the X Series is available with 64GB or 128GB of multi-level cell (MLC) NAND flash memory as well as 64MB of on-board cache. The 128GB version of the drive is capable of delivering up to 255MB/s sequential read and 190MB/s sequential write speeds and includes features like a mini USB port, static wear-leveling and TRIM support.
