QNAP Systems, Inc., a leading computing, networking, and storage solution innovator, today launched new entry-level business NAS models including 4-bay TS-432X and 6-bay TS-632X, tailored for personal studio and SMBs to optimize workflows and collaboration. Featuring a quad-core processor, high-speed 2.5GbE/10GbE ports, and PCIe expansion capabilities, both new models excel in performance and versatility to streamline multi-device file backups, data security, and file management while also simplifying data storage, search, and sharing tasks.

Andy Chuang, Product Manager of QNAP, stated "With the rising popularity of 10GbE applications, the TS-432X and TS-632X offer ideal solutions for small to medium-sized businesses seeking smaller-capacity 10GbE NAS options. Users can benefit from a versatile storage solution featuring multiple LAN ports and PCIe expandability, all within a modest budget."

ATP Electronics, the global leader in specialized storage and memory solutions, proudly unveils the N651Si Series E1.S solid state drives (SSDs), which offer best‑in‑class performance, endurance, and data retention capabilities for the most demanding applications.

Supporting industrial temperature operating range (-40°C to 85°C) along with hardware power loss protection (HW PLP), the new SSDs offer the highest levels of reliability and total cost of ownership value in harsh environments, making them especially beneficial for mission-critical applications running under extreme temperatures, such as automotive, data logger, data centers, and defense/aerospace.

Engineered for 1U Edge servers, the EDSFF offering with 9.5 mm symmetrical enclosure is available with up to 8 TB capacity and is constructed with 512 Gb prime NAND die 176-layer 3D triple level cell (TLC).

Kioxia Corporation, a world leader in memory solutions, today announced that it started sample shipments of 2Tb (tera bit) Quad-Level-Cell (QLC) memory devices with its eighth-generation BiCS FLASH 3D flash memory technology. This 2Tb QLC device has the highest capacity in the industry, elevating storage devices to a new capacity point that will drive growth in multiple application segments including AI.

With its latest BiCS FLASH technology, Kioxia has achieved both vertical and lateral scaling of memory die through proprietary processes and innovative architectures. In addition, the company has implemented the groundbreaking CBA (CMOS directly Bonded to Array) technology, which enables the creation of higher density devices and an industry-leading interface speed of 3.6Gbps. Together, these advanced technologies are applied in the creation of 2Tb QLC, resulting in the industry’s highest capacity memory device.

The 2Tb QLC is equipped with a bit density approx. 2.3 times higher and a write power efficiency approx. 70 percent higher than Kioxia’s current fifth-generation QLC device which is the highest capacity in Kioxia’s products. With a 16-die stacked architecture in a single memory package, the latest QLC device achieves industry-leading 4TB (tera byte) of capacity. It is available with a smaller package size of 11.5 x 13.5mm and a package height of 1.5mm.

SK hynix Inc. announced today that it developed PCB01, an SSD product with the industry's best specifications, for on-device AI PCs.
