Sony’s new VIAO touchscreen T14 arrived last week, complete with hybrid hard drive and Windows 8.  Frequent readers of TSSDR understand my opinion of both, an opinion that was initially hard to contain with their teaming up in what appears to be an attractive ultra design. Swapping out the hard drive for an SSD was a given. Stepping outside the …

ADATA Technology, Taiwanese manufacturer of premium performance DRAM modules and NAND Flash storage products, is announcing the launch of its enterprise grade SX1000L solid state drive (SSD).  This represents ADATA’s first SSD tailored towards server applications, following on the heels of a number of well-established and successful consumer-level SSDs.

Our visit with LSI SandForce in the Grand Hyatt Taipei during Computex 2012 resulted in what we believe to be the worlds first viewing of 19/20nm NAND flash memory at work with LSI SandForce SF-2281 processors.

Needless to say,  learning of ADATAs new …

Back In February, we published an article with respect to LSI SandForce releasing code that would enable the production of ‘SandForce Driven’ SSDs with increased capacity, a whopping 7% additional capacity in fact.
