The Goodram brand introduces the third generation of the PX500 NVMe PCIe 3 x4 SSD. The new series of drives is the answer to the growing demands of users who need fast and reliable hardware for both professional and personal applications.

The state-of-the-art architecture of the PX500 gen. 3 drive enables impressive read speeds of up to 3,500 MB/s, which is crucial for applications that require fast access to large amounts of data, such as games or advanced design programs. Meanwhile, write speeds of up to 2,800 MB/s ensure efficient operation even during intensive tasks such as video editing or managing large databases. Thanks to such parameters, users can enjoy not only faster system and application start-ups, but also lightning-fast file transfers and smooth multitasking. In practice, the drive’s performance significantly speeds up all processes, minimising waiting times and increasing overall user productivity.

Lexar, a leading global brand of flash memory solutions, is excited to announce three new additions to its Professional SILVER card lineup: the SILVER PLUS microSDXC™ UHS-I Card, the SILVER PLUS SDXC™ UHS-I Card, and the SILVER SDXC™ UHS-I Card.

The SILVER series features outstanding performance of 205MB/s max read speeds to expedite transfers and reduce wait times and 150MB/s write speeds (140MB/s for Professional SILVER SDXC™ UHS-I Card) to capture even fast action. Users can achieve max read speeds by pairing the cards with the Lexar® Dual-Slot USB-A/C Reader, which can simultaneously read an SD card and a microSD card. Rated V30, the SILVER Series cards are designed to record 4K video in up to 60fps. These cards are also designed with real life in mind and are drop-proof, temperature-proof, x-ray-proof, shockproof, magnetic-proof, and vibration-resistant so they can stand up to all sorts of environments. They also offer users peace of mind with the Lexar Recovery Tool, which allows users to recover accidentally deleted files, and a lifetime limited warranty.

CDRLabs kicks off the week with brief look at Crucial's new DDR5-6000 Pro Overclocking memory. Compatible with Intel Core 12-14th Gen and AMD Ryzen 7000 series and higher desktop CPUs, this new memory is capable of speeds as high as 6,000 MT/s and offers 25% lower latency than Crucial's normal Pro series DRAM. Crucial's DDR5 Pro Overclocking memory is also equipped with a unique, origami-inspired aluminum heat spreader and features support for both Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO on the same module for maximum compatibility.

Kioxia Corporation, a world leader in memory solutions, today announced that KIOXIA PCIe® 5.0 NVMe™ SSDs have been successfully tested for compatibility and interoperability with the Xinnor, Ltd. (“Xinnor”) RAID solution and achieved up to 25x higher performance running PostgreSQL than software RAID solutions with the same hardware configuration. This solution will be demonstrated in the KIOXIA booth at COMPUTEX TAIPEI, which will be held from June 4 to June 7.

PostgreSQL (with the pgvector extension) and vector databases are becoming more important for generative AI and RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) systems than before, and these results demonstrate the performance gains utilizing Xinnor’s xiRAID Opus and KIOXIA PCIe® 5.0 NVMe™ SSDs solution for a generative AI and RAG application.

New servers with the PCIe® 5.0 interface and corresponding high-speed SSDs are in demand for high performance applications, such as generative AI, and the importance of PCIe® 5.0-compatible SSDs to support this demand is increasing. The Kioxia and Xinnor high performance software RAID solution maximizes the performance of PCIe® 5.0 SSDs for AI, Machine Learning (ML), and data analytics applications in on-premises enterprise data centers. KIOXIA CM7 Series SSDs successfully completed compatibility testing performed by both parties.

Lexar, a leading global brand of flash memory solutions, is pleased to announce the introduction of the ARMOR 700 Portable SSD to its portable SSD family of products.
