Global memory brand, TEAMGROUP, has created numerous innovative SSD products over the years with its cutting-edge research and development to offer the very best solutions in the storage market. Today it has announced MP44L M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD, featuring a unique breakthrough cooling technology: the industry's first SSD label to incorporate graphene copper foil. This less than 1mm thick Heat Dissipating Graphene SSD Label has received Utility Patents and is tightly adhered to the SSD to provide precise and greater cooling. The design of MP44L M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD's heat dissipating graphene SSD label eliminates the possibility of installation interference. Moreover, it allows users to enjoy double the cooling performance and the increased stability of PCIe Gen4 without the need to install additional thermal equipment when it's paired with an M.2 slot heatsink.

TEAMGROUP's brand new MP44L M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD is a storage upgrade solution for Gen4x4 SSDs. It offers a read speed of 5,000MB/s and a write speed of 4,500MB/s and supports SLC Cache technology, which provides over double the operation efficiency of Gen3 SSDs. By solving the problem of computer lag, it allows users to multitask with ease and enjoy fast and smooth performance. The MP44L SSD provides excellent data transfer accuracy due to its LDPC (Low-Density Parity Check Code) technology. It supports Windows TRIM optimization commands and the latest NVMe 1.4 standard. With the allocation mechanism of NVM Sets, PLM (Predictable Latency Mode) and the latest RRL (Read Recovery Level) technology, the SSD's latency is significantly reduced, and wear and tear at high read and write speeds is also diminished, extending the lifespan of the drive.

QNAP Systems, Inc., a leading computing, networking, and storage solution innovator, today introduced the new TS-410E professional-grade NAS, designed for multimedia center and noise-sensitive environments. With fanless cooling the TS-410E provides high-speed I/O, including two 2.5GbE ports, SATA SSD slots, USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) ports, and 4K HDMI output and meets the requirements of demanding applications, such as large file transfer and streaming, virtual machines, or virtual machine desktop/surveillance footage transmission.

The compact TS-410E fits multiple usage scenarios, including the ability to be installed upright for greater space efficiency. It is powered by an Intel® Celeron® J6412 quad-core processor (burst up to 2.6 GHz) with 8GB dual-channel memory. It has four 2.5-inch SATA 6Gb/s SSD slots for allocating SSDs to provide high-speed and stable read write performance. Users can flexibly configure SSD caching to boost IOPS performance and meet performance requirements. The TS-410E also provides hardware-accelerated AES-NI encryption to ensure data security without impacting performance. With dual 2.5GbE RJ45 ports, up to 5 Gbps transfer speeds can be achieved by setting port trunking.
