KLEVV, the leading consumer memory and storage brand introduced by Essencore, today announces its first-ever CU-DIMM & CSO-DIMM memory modules, which work seamlessly with the latest Intel Core Ultra (Series 2) "Arrow Lake-S" Processors/ Z890 platform to unleash the true DDR5 performance.

Groundbreaking CKD Technology for Revolutionary Performance
KLEVV's next-generation DDR5 memory lineup receives a substantial performance boost with the integration of advanced Client Clock Driver (CKD) technology. Incorporated via a small integrated circuit (IC) directly on the DIMM, CKD IC enhances the module's speed and efficiency for both desktop and laptop applications. By regenerating the memory chips' clock signal, it improves stability, supports higher operating frequencies, and minimizes electrical interference and signal degradation—pushing the boundaries of memory performance.

Since its introduction in 2004, millions around the world have trusted WD My Passport drives to store and back up their lives’ most precious memories and valuable data. To commemorate this milestone anniversary of its most popular drive, Western Digital Corp. is launching the WD My Passport Ultra, 20th Emerald Anniversary Edition. Over the lifetime of the My Passport drives, Western Digital has provided approximately 180 exabytes of data storage for users worldwide, equivalent to up to 18 billion hours of HD video, up to 46 trillion photos, or up to 35 trillion songs.

Prior to the initial introduction of the WD My Passport drive, users had limited options when it came to taking important files with them on the go, having to sacrifice a power outlet and downtime to add and transfer data. In 2004, My Passport delivered a streamlined solution: portable products that offered an impressive amount of storage for many types of digital files – including videos, music, photos, and documents. What started as a simple solution with 40GB capacity has increased by up to 150 times to now having the world’s highest capacity 2.5” portable hard drive with 6TB* of storage, meeting the needs of the modern digital consumer.

Sonnet Technologies today announced the launch of the Allegro™ 7-Port USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type A PCIe Card, a new cost-effective addition to Sonnet's broad range of USB adapter cards. The Allegro card adds seven USB-A 5Gbps ports to a single PCIe card slot in desktop tower computers, enabling users to connect seven USB devices to their computer at the same time.

The Allegro 7-Port USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type A PCIe Card is a full-height card for desktop computers. The card connects six external USB-A peripheral devices, plus one internal device, and includes SATA and PCIe power connectors for connecting auxiliary power when devices plugged into the card require more than 25 watts of power. The Allegro card installs into an available full-height PCIe card slot and uses drivers built into operating system software to function.

More than just storage, Western Digital HDDs are key enablers for businesses looking to optimize their infrastructure, lower TCO and future-proof their data strategies. Constantly innovating to meet the needs of our data-driven world, Western Digital today announced that it is now shipping the world’s highest capacity UltraSMR HDD with up to 32TB leveraging the time-tested, reliable energy-assisted PMR (ePMR) recording technology for hyperscalers, CSPs and enterprises. For those who want a drop-in ready HDD for today’s data-intensive workloads, the company is also now shipping the world’s highest-capacity ePMR CMR HDD with up to 26TB for enterprise and channel customers. With the world’s first commercially available 11-disk design and field-proven technology, these new drives reinforce Western Digital's commitment to delivering HDD technology that raises the bar on capacity, reliability and innovation.

The AI Data Cycle has emerged as a growth driver for the storage industry. As AI systems become more sophisticated, they process and generate vast amounts of data that must be stored efficiently. HDDs play a crucial role in this ecosystem, handling both the input side, where data is gathered, ingested and stored, and the output side, where AI content is generated and preserved. This dual role positions HDDs as a linchpin in the AI Data Cycle, ensuring that data is available when needed and stored with the lowest TCO.
