Transcend Delivers Industrial Power Loss Protection (PLP) SSDs
Transcend Information, a leading manufacturer of embedded memory products, is pleased to announce the release of our new Power Loss Protection (PLP) solid-state drives (SSDs) for enterprise customers. These SSDs have been designed to ensure data transfer integrity in the event of unexpected power loss, making them a valuable feature for systems that frequently experience unstable power sources, such as 5G network facilities, smart factories, and transportation surveillance networks.
Our PLP technology, which has been developed for SSDs with DRAM cache, is able to prevent data loss and corruption that may occur due to power failure. It operates by using a voltage detector and tantalum capacitors to provide power to the controller and DRAM cache in the event of a power failure, allowing for a longer buffer time for data to be transferred from the DRAM cache to NAND flash. When the voltage drops to a specific value, the controller will stop accepting new write commands and enter write-protection mode.
Vinpower, Inc. announced today, through a strategic alliance with Phihong Technology and Silanna Semiconductor, the planned release of a universal charging cube, the iXcharger, which offers the ability to automatically perform a full backup of all stored photos and videos from an iPhone/iPad as well as act as extended memory for all other mobile smartphones, tablets, and laptop computers while charging at the same time. As we all have become more dependent on our mobile devices for everything from business to entertainment, we often have content spread across multiple devices without an easy way to consolidate or maintain it. Simultaneously, each device requires its own unique charging plug, creating a tangle of cords and a plethora of accessories to carry from place to place. The iXcharger, offers the USB Type C connection, and is an environmentally sustainable ESG product by reducing the burden of redundancy to a single device that can act as both an energy efficient power charger and a large capacity backup storage solution for a wide range of mobile devices and laptop computers.
CDRLabs kicks off the new year with a review of Solidigm's latest PCIe 4.0 SSD, the P44 Pro. Designed for intense performance workloads like gaming, content creation, video editing, and data analysis, this M.2 form factor drive is powered by SK hynix's "Aries" controller and is available with up to 2TB of their 176-layer 3D TLC NAND flash. The P44 Pro is also equipped with an ultra-fast PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe 1.4 interface and features a proprietary NVMe storage driver that automatically and invisibly boosts performance by as much as 21% over devices running the default Windows driver.
