Technology X will cover everything The SSD Review doesn’t and we are hoping to see it grow into an ‘all inclusive’ technology resource that has a worldwide reach!  From …

A few months back, we randomly heard three words during a passing conversation; Intel, Taylorsville, and latency. That was it; no context, no explanation and no hints. Given that we happened to be at the Flash Memory Summit, it was a safe bet that something solid state was afoot, but at the time these were just random words to file …

To say the new OCZ Vector was a long time in the making would be an understatement as discussion over the development of this platform just might be one of the oldest SSD conversations to date. Today’s Vector release may mark the first major success story of OCZ’ purchase of both Indilinx and PLX, this story born through development of …

ASUS is widely known for producing computer parts and peripherals, but rarely do they indulge in anything pre-made. Introduce the ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T, and now we have seemingly one of the first ASUS products in the mobile market. Frankly speaking, it makes sense for ASUS to dive into tablets. They already produce premium lines of business and gaming …

Kingston, like other memory manufacturers, wanted to get into the solid state storage game a few years back. At the time they chose to partner with Intel, offering their own label on the chipmaker’s first gen SSDs like enterprise-oriented X25-E. Eventually, they branched out with new controllers from Toshiba and JMicron, resulting in a bewildering array of options. More recently, Kingston switched to …

It was just over a year ago that we reviewed the Super Talent 50GB RC8 ‘SandForce Driven’ USB 3 Flash Drive and made the call of it being the fastest flash drive on the planet. Our prediction then was that it would be a natural progression that, soon enough, we would be booting complete systems off of just this type …

Ultrabooks haven’t been the smashing commercial success that Intel and it’s partners might have hoped for, but they’re still popular, and represent a big chunk of growth in the PC industry. We stopped by Kent Smith’s (of LSI SandForce fame) session on Ultrabooks and flash technology here at AIS to see about the future of those portables from a storage …

We spent some time with Kingston today at AIS discussing an interesting product demo. The massive memory product purveyor showed what they could do with just a few off-the-rack parts in a demonstration which managed a heady 1.8 million IOPS. Using three LSI MegaRAID cards, 24 eMLC-based E100 SSDs, and an Intel based server, the test system was shown looping 4K random read and …

PNY showed off just a bit of SSD gold this week in a new production development they have signed with none other than HP. Just as we saw in 07/08 with the first Samsung/Corsair partnership, PNY will be manufacturing solid state drives under HP branding that are remarkably similar to that marketed by PNY, up to and including PNY’s exclusive …

This week at AIS 2012, Everspin Technologies announced commercial production of the first ever Spin-Torque Magnetoresistive RAM (ST-MRAM). This new type of ultra-low latency and high-performance memory is expected to transform storage architecture, while driving the continuous evolution of Moore’s Law.  Sampling has already begun with select customers, and Everspin is engaging strategic partners to prepare design and manufacturing ecosystems. …

In a nondescript ballroom here in San Jose, we almost tripped over LSI’s upcoming 12GB/s MegaRAID products. Though PCIe Gen 3 6gbps offerings are just now becoming mainstream, 12GB/s products are on the horizon — and we got the chance to see one in it’s natural habitat. This is LSI’s 9271-8i MegaRAID product. Though still some ways from release, we did …
