Intel And Micron Announce World's First 20nm 128Gb MLC NAND Flash Device
Intel Corporation and Micron Technology, Inc., today announced a new benchmark in NAND flash technology -- the world's first 20 nanometer (nm), 128 gigabit (Gb), multilevel-cell (MLC) device. The companies also announced mass production of their 64Gb 20nm NAND, which further extends the companies' leadership in NAND process technology.

Developed through Intel and Micron's joint-development venture, IM Flash Technologies (IMFT), the new 20nm monolithic 128Gb device is the first in the industry to enable a terabit (Tb) of data storage in a fingertip-size package by using just eight die. It also provides twice the storage capacity and performance of the companies' existing 20nm 64Gb NAND device. The 128Gb device meets the high-speed ONFI 3.0 specification to achieve speeds of 333 megatransfers per second (MT/s), providing customers with a more cost-effective solid-state storage solution for today's slim, sleek product designs, including tablets, smartphones and high-capacity solid-state drives (SSDs.)
CDRLabs has taken an in depth look at LG's 12x Blu-ray Disc rewriter, the BH12LS38. This new Super Multi Blue drive is capable of 12x BD-R, 12x BD-R DL and 2x BD-RE writing speeds and a maximum BD-ROM read speed of 10x. The BH12LS38 is also backwards compatible with all major CD and DVD formats offers features like HP's LightScribe Direct Disc Labeling system and CyberLink's
