Articles about Big Data Analytics

In a little more than a decade, data analytics has been through several big transformations. First, it became digitized. Second, we witnessed the emergence of 'big data' analytics, driven partly by digitization and partly by massively improved storage and processing capabilities.

Finally, in the last couple of years, analytics has been transformed once again by emerging generative AI models that can analyze data at a previously unseen scale and speed.

M.2 solid state drives are very common, but U.2 NVMe SSDs? Not so much. And so, the announcement of such a drive can be an exciting affair. With that said, today, Transcend has done exactly that. Yes, the company has unveiled a new U.2 NVMe SSD. Called “UTE210T,” the 2.5-inch drive is specifically crafted for use in generative AI, high-performance computing (HPC), and big data analytics.

At the heart of the UTE210T lies the 112-layer 3D NAND flash, an 8-channel controller, and a PCIe Gen 4x4 interface. The combination of these elements make up an SSD that offers blazing-fast sequential R/W speeds of up to 7,200/6,500 MB/s. This, in turn, grants your systems low latency, minimal power consumption, and reliable performance.
