ADATA Technology, a leading manufacturer of high performance DRAM modules, NAND Flash products, and mobile accessories today launched the i-Memory AI920 Jet Black Flash drive for iOS devices. Featuring Lightning and USB 3.1 in one slim 6.9mm device, the AI920 delivers 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB capacity and up to 150MB/s read. The Jet Black color scheme has been added in order to better complement Apple devices with an exact color match with iPhone 7, giving consumer more choice. The AI920 is also Apple MFi certified, making it an official iOS accessory.

New elegant gloss, tough build, and thoughtful design
The Jet Black version offers more than a stylish look that goes well with iPhone 7. ADATA uses paint and coating materials that resist scratching, scuffing, and other forms of abrasive damage. The AI920 Jet Black boasts surfaces rated 2H scratch resistant to ensure it retains a deep glossy luster long term. Additionally, ADATA has tested the AI920 water and dust resistant so that user data is protected on the go, as befits a highly portable storage device. Connectors have been extended for an easy and secure fit even if devices have very thick covers installed by users.

This is the first Transcend solid state drive to utilize the PCI Express Gen 3 x4 interface, and is fully compatible with NVM Express (NVMe) 1.2 specifications. The next-generation PCIe NVMe protocol allows the MTE850 SSD to achieve never-before-seen transfer speeds of 2,500 MB/s (read) and 1,100 MB/s (write). Built with 3D MLC chips and packing up to 512GB into a M.2 form factor, the Transcend MTE850 is perfect for gamers everywhere!

PCIe NVMe protocol allows breathtaking transfer speeds
Transcend’s MTE850 M.2 2280 SSD utilizes the PCIe Gen 3 x 4 interface and the latest NVMe 1.2 protocol, which has theoretical transfer speeds of up to 32 GB/s, crushing the SATA III limit of 6 GB/s. The 3D MLC NAND flash chips used in Transcend's MTE850 offer vastly improved read and write speeds over 2D NAND. Low power consumption and excellent reliability are also hallmarks of 3D NAND, ensuring long-life dependability. Transcend's MTE850 is an excellent choice for gaming enthusiasts and others who require fast read and write speeds and unquestioned reliability.

CDRLabs kicks off the week with a review of ADATA's new PCIe solid state drive, the XPG SX8000. Designed to deliver massive speed for gaming notebooks and high-end desktops, this M.2 form factor drive is powered by Silicon Motion's new SM2260 controller and is available with up to 1TB of 3D MLC NAND flash. The SX8000 also meets NVMe 1.2 specifications and is equipped with an ultra-fast PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 interface to deliver four times the read and twice the write performance of average SATA 6Gb/s SSDs.

ADATA Technology, a leading manufacturer of high performance DRAM modules, NAND Flash products, and mobile accessories today launched the compact and ultra-light UV310 USB Flash drive. Made using sturdy chip-on-board (COB), unibody (one-piece) construction, the UV310 employs zinc alloy and sandblasted textures to combine an alluring metallic look with a high degree of toughness. It weighs just 4.7g and is available in up to 64GB. Fashionable, sleek, and sophisticated, the UV310 re-affirms the ADATA commitment to producing the finest USB drives.

Tough construction resists dust, shocks, drops, and water
ADATA utilizes unibody COB construction with the UV310 to ensure a compact but durable product that minimizes weak points thanks to a seamless design. Material-wise, the UV310 consists of zinc alloy, sandblasted to create a textured surface that resists scratches and is immune to fingerprint smudges. The gold color scheme of the UV310 lends it a very elegant look, emphasized by its high resistance to everything from dust to shocks and water exposure. This durability means wherever consumers go, their data remains well protected – far beyond the norms of generic, plasticky USB drives.

Super light but packing capacity
Despite weighing a mere 4.7g, the UV310 offers 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB of storage. It connects to devices using USB 3.1 at up to 5Gbps, and for extra convenience has a prominent hook that makes mounting straps, chains, and key rings easy.
