Longsys is announcing that it has acquired the Lexar brand and trademark rights from Micron.  Micron announced back in June that it was discontinuing sale of Lexar-branded products, and that it was exploring options to sell all or part of that business. Enter Longsys, who plans to further develop and promote the Lexar brand to expand its presence and make …

BIOSTAR isn’t the first name to come to mind when thinking about SSDs. Even for us, we didn’t even recall ever seeing a BIOSTAR SSD until today. They aren’t entirely new to the game, however. Last year at about this time, they released their first SSD, the G300. Utilizing SMI’s popular 2256 controller at the time, it put out some …

The 9200 series of SSDs combine cost-effective 3D NAND with the superior …

While spending time with Crucial at Computex Taipei today, we had the opportunity to see a comparison in NAND size that was quite interesting.  This sheet below displays Micron’ 16nm planar NAND as well as their Gen1 3D memory and their latest Gen 2, possibly the smallest footprint in the industry. Examining this sheet is a great example of how technology is …

Micron is joining forces with Red Hat and Supermicro to offer a new all-flash Ceph storage reference architecture that accelerates the speed and performance of network unified storage.  This new architecture combines the scalability of Red Hat Ceph Storage, the rack-space efficiency provided by Supermicro’s 1U Ultra SuperServer and the performance and endurance of Micron’s 9100 MAX NVMe flash PCIe …

SolidScale allows users to deploy both next-generation, cloud-native applications as well as legacy applications prevalent in today’s enterprises.  Micron’s innovative SolidScale architecture’s extremely high throughput and unprecedented low latency deliver data quickly for usages such as virtual …

In December, ADATA announced the first ever SSD to feature Micron’s latest 3D MLC NAND, Ultimate SU900, which is a huge announcement because Samsung will no longer be the only player in the market with 3D MLC NAND ( ie 850 PRO). Thanks to the high-density of this latest NAND, ADATA is able to bring to market capacities of up to …

Micron is announcing their latest enterprise SATA SSD lineup, designated as the 5100 series. This new series of enterprise SATA SSDs gives data storage platform designers the ability to future-proof their data storage with ideal combinations of performance, capacity and enterprise-class reliability. The 5100 series provides IT with a realistic upgrade path as storage systems migrate to an all-flash data …

Back in late May at Computex 2016, TSSDR got a sneak peek at several future-planned products from Micron (our coverage can be viewed here).  One of these was the Ballistix TX3 NVMe SSD.  Crucial’s Ballistix memory is well-renowned for quality, performance and value, and Micron felt that the Ballistix name should stand on its own.  It was even given its …

Branding seems to be everything these days with words like Optane and QuantX becoming commonplace in the world of flash.  This morning during Micron’ Keynote at the Flash Memory Summit, Darren Thomas, GM and VP of Micron Storage, went a bit further than just revealing their new QuantX branding for ‘everything SSD’.  They gave the audience an eyeful of what …
