SMART Modular Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of SMART Global Holdings, Inc., and a leader in specialty memory, storage and hybrid solutions including memory modules, Flash memory cards and other solid state storage products, today announced a new addition to its SMART RUGGED product offering, the S5E 2.5" SATA SSD.

The S5E SSD provides comprehensive encryption and security features such as quick erase, SMART’s Security Data Elimination Technology (SDET) which meets current declassification standards, and erase triggers, making it an ideal data recording and storage tool for surveillance, defense and telemetry applications where data must remain secure or erased in mission-critical scenarios.

With two external triggers, the S5E is equipped with AES-XTS-256-bit encryption, which automatically protects all data written to the drive. Additional data elimination features built into the S5E are designed to meet or exceed all regulations for current military data erasure standards.

In addition to its encryption and erase features, the S5E offers up to 480GB of storage using single-level cell (SLC) NAND flash. The S5E SLC SSD is designed for both endurance (capable of capturing up to 40,000 total drive writes) and environmental stress protection (temperature and humidity, altitude performance, and shock and vibration protection), offering users a level of protection custom suited for integration into high stress or rugged-use applications.

PATRIOT, a global leader in performance memory, SSDs, gaming peripherals, and flash storage solutions, is proud to announce the launch of their P200 series 2.5" internal SATA III 6Gbps solid state drive (SSD) today. The P200 series comes equipped with best-quality memory chips and components that have passed a strict quality control process. This process ensures that the P200 series provides the largest storage capacity, fastest read and write speeds and better reliability. P200 series is available in sizes ranging from 256GB and up to 2TB to meet current marking demands for diverse storage options and features the latest SMI 2258XT series controller to achieve the unparalleled transfer speeds of up to 530MB/s read, and 460MB/s write. This speed boost improves systems performance in many ways from response time under heavy loads to initial startup times and transfer speeds across a network.

P200 has trimmed its thickness down from 9mm to 7mm to ensure it will fit into any system while reserving extra space on the backside of motherboard trays in high-end gaming systems. The thickness between the side panel and the motherboard back tray can be quite small making the 7mm height of P200 ideal in these situations while also offering more space for better air circulation and cable management inside the case. The P200 series is a win-win solution for system builders when planning to build a mini PC or tower-style gaming system.

CDRLabs kicks off the week with a review of ioSafe's latest Network Attached Storage (NAS) device, the ioSafe 1019+. Using patented technologies like DataCast and HydroSafe, this 5-bay NAS can protect up to 70TB of data from fire or water damage in the event of a disaster. The 1019+ is also powered by a quad-core Intel Celeron processor and is equipped with 8GB of DDR3L RAM, a pair of gigabit Ethernet ports and two M.2 NVMe SSD slots. In addition, it runs the latest version of Synology's award-winning DiskStation Manager (DSM) operating system which offers a wide range of applications for cross-platform file sharing, data backups, cloud synchronization and multimedia streaming.

ADATA Technology, a leading manufacturer of high-performance DRAM modules, NAND Flash products, and mobile accessories today announces the launch of the ADATA Ultimate SU650 M.2 2280 SATA Solid State Drive (SSD). Equipped with 3D TLC Flash memory, the SSD offers up to 480GB of capacity and sports read/write speeds of up to 550/510MB/s. What’s more, it also supports intelligent SLC caching and features Low-density parity-check (LDPC) error correcting code technology for enhanced performance and data integrity. Sporting an M.2 2280 form factor the SU650 is ideal for both laptop and desktop PCs and does away with the connection of cumbersome cables during installation.

3D NAND is a Great PC Upgrade
Implementing 3D NAND Flash, the SU650 features higher storage capacities (120GB, 240GB, and 480GB), improved efficiency, and better reliability. Whether used as storage or a boot drive, it’s a great upgrade choice for users, especially those making a change from hard disk drives (HDD) to SDD. In addition, 3D NAND Flash consumes less power, up to 80% less than HDDs, which is ideal for users that often work on laptops for extended periods.

ADATA Technology, a leading manufacturer of high-performance DRAM modules, NAND Flash products, and mobile accessories is pleased to announce the ADATA HM800 external hard drive. The HM800 external hard drive is a must-have for users who own a smart TV. Not only does the HM800 playback users’ favorite binge-worthy TV shows, movies, and sporting matches on their TV, but also lets them record this content. They can record to their heart's content with 4, 6, and 8TB of storage capacity and can easily backup their files with the One-Touch Backup function.

All Their Entertainment in One Place
With the HM8000 users won’t miss out on the big game or the season finale of their favorite TV show. They can record all their favorite TV programming onto the HM800 and enjoy them later on. In an era of high-res content, users can never have too much storage.

SK hynix Inc. announced today that it has developed and starts mass-producing the world’s first 128-Layer 1Tb (Terabit) TLC (Triple-Level Cell) 4D NAND Flash, only eight months after the Company announced the 96-Layer 4D NAND Flash last year.

The 128-Layer 1Tb NAND chip offers the industry's highest vertical stacking with more than 360 billion NAND cells, each of which stores 3 bits, per one chip. To achieve this, SK hynix applied innovative technologies, such as “ultra-homogeneous vertical etching technology,” “high-reliability multi-layer thin-film cell formation technology,” and ultra-fast low-power circuit design, to its own 4D NAND technology.
