WD Intros Ultrastar Memory Drive for In-Memory Computing

Western Digital (WD) targets in-memory computing with the Supercomputing 2018 launch of the Ultrastar DC ME200 memory extension drive-- a first product from the company designed to optimise in-memory system performance.

“Today’s requirement for faster analytics, data processing, cloud services and high-performance computing (HPC) is increasing demand for in-memory computing across a variety of industries, including healthcare, telecommunications and IT, and retail,” WD says. “By expanding in-memory capacity, the Ultrastar memory drive helps alleviate the high cost of adding extra DRAM, as well as addresses the physical limitations of available DIMM slots, where scaling is either cost-prohibitive or nearly impossible.”

SK Hynix Claims First 96-Layer 4D NAND Flash

SK Hynix presents the first 96-layer 512Gb CTF-based 4D NAND flash based on TLC (Triple-Level Cell) arrays using a 3D CTF (Charge Trap Flash) design paired with PUC (Periphery Under Cell) technology.

A single 512Gb NAND flash chip can represent up to 64GB of storage. As the company puts it, the combination of 3D CTF with PUC is an industry first, and allows for the finest performance and productivity yet.

The 4D NAND chip also reduces chip size by 30% and increases bit productivity per wafer by 49% compared to current 72-layer 512Gb 3D NAND, and offers 30% higher write and 25% higher read performance. Data bandwidth clocks at 64KB, and a multiple gate insulator architecture allows for data I/O speeds reaching 1200Mbps at 1.2V operation power.

WD Presents 15TB Ultrastar DC HC620

Western Digital unveils a family of 14 and 15TB HDDs-- the HGST Ultrastar DC HC620, drives aimed at read-focused enterprise applications featuring shingled magnetic recording (SMR) technology.

"Setting a new bar for TCO, the Ultrastar 15TB host-managed SMR HDD is well positioned for hyperscale cloud and traditional data center workloads, including large video surveillance, "smart city" initiatives, storage for regulatory compliance and Big Data storage," WD says. "Enabling the world’s densest server and storage systems, incorporating 15TB HDDs allows a fully populated 4U60 HDD enclosure to reach a raw storage capacity of 900TB, which is an additional 60TB per 4U rack in the same footprint compared to those utilizing 14TB HDDs. In an at-scale environment where floor space, $/TB, TB per square foot, or watts per terabyte are critical, this TCO savings can be significant,"
