Kingston Releases KC2500 NVMe PCIe SSD

Kingston announces the KC2500, a next generation M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD for desktops, workstations and high-performance computing (HPC) systems promising to set a new boar for high-performance client PC usage.

Available in capacities up to 2TB in a compact M.2 2280 form factor, the KC2500 features a Gen 3.0 x4 controller and 96-layer 3D TLC NAND. It claims speeds reaching up to 3500MB/s read and up to 2900MB/s write, and includes self-encrypting capabilities with a full security suite for end-to-end data protection. Kingston says it allows the usage of independent software vendors with TCL Opal 2.0 security management solutions such as Symantec, McAfee and WinMagic, among others. Also built-in is support for Microsoft eDrive, the security storage specification for use with BitLocker.

HAMR-Based HD Media From SDK

Japan's Showa Denko (SDK) develops the technology for the manufacturing of next-generation HDDs based on Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR), enabling the eventual creation of 3.5-inch HDDs with capacities reaching 70-80TB.

As the name suggests, HAMR is a recording method involving the heating of a magnetic film in order to record data. To do so, the SDK technology uses small grains of magnetic crystals with thermal stability and information writability. Also involved are aluminium platters and a thin films of Fe-Pt alloy, a magnetic material both powerful and with high corrosion resistance.

JEDEC Updates UFS Standard

JEDEC Solid State Technology Association publishes Universal Flash Storage (UFS) version 3.1 (aka JESD220E), an update to the standard promising to increase performance, minimise power usage and potentially cut the costs of high-capacity storage devices.

Key updates to the standard include Write Booster (a SLC non-volatile cache to amplify write speeds), DeepSleep (a low-power state for lower-cost systems) and Performance Throttling Notification (allows the UFS device to notify the host when high temperatures throttle storage performance). A JESD220-3 Host Performance Booster (HPB) extension provides an option to cache the UFS device logical-to-physical address map to system DRAM, providing larger and faster caching and thus improving the read performance of the device.

The TerraMaster 5-Bay F5-422 NAS

CES 2020 has TerraMaster present the F5-422, a five-bay NAS with 10GbE ethernet connectivity powered by the Intel Celeron J3455 quad-core SoC (1.5-2.3GHz) together with 4GB of memory (expandable to 12GB).

The unit holds five 3.5/2.5-inch HDDs or SSDs, and supports a total of 80TB of storage. As a modern NAS, it handles various RAID modes, including RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6 and RAID 10. Performance tops out at 670MB/s read and 650MB/s write with all drives running in RAID 5 mode. Meanwhile the TOS 4.1 OS supports SSD caching to accelerate I/O performance as well as multiple security layers, including clustered Btrfs file system, snapshots, AES hardware folder encryption, network transport encryption and scheduled backups (including cloud backups).

Quantum Expands F-Series Storage Line

Quantum announces a lower-price addition to the F-series NVMe storage appliance family-- the F1000, featuring the software-defined architecture seen in the F2000 but within a package better suited for smaller customers.

The F-series appliances are designed for customers wanting to accelerate the capture, editing and finishing of high-definition content, such as HD video used in movie, TV and sports production, as well as marketing and advertising content. Other critical uses include image-based workloads demanding high-speed processing, such as data from satellite feeds, drones or vehicles used in automated driver assistance system (ADAS) development.
