Kioxia and Sandisk unveil 4.8Gb/s AI-ready 3D flash memory
Kioxia, in partnership with Sandisk, has introduced a super-cool 3D flash memory solution that boosts NAND interface speeds to an insane 4.8 gigabits per second! This has the potential to transform AI-powered tasks and data centers.
This advancement integrates state-of-the-art features like Toggle DDR6.0 for NAND flash, alongside the SCA protocol (short for Separate Command Address) which streamlines command handling. Additionally, the PI-LTT system, or Power Isolated Low-Tapped Termination, slashes energy use.
SK hynix announces PCB01 SSD for AI-enabled PCs
SK hynix has announced its newest solid-state drive, PCB01, which incorporates the fifth generation of 8-channel PCIe technology. This development is aimed at improving performance metrics such as data processing speed.
The PCB01 SSD features sequential read and write speeds of up to 14GB/s and 12GB/s, respectively, which is notably higher than previous models. These speeds are intended to support operations involving large language models (LLMs) necessary for AI training and inference tasks.
Silicon Power announces Cinema Pro PNV350 USB-C SSD
Today, Silicon Power announces its latest portable solid state drive. Called "Cinema Pro PNV350," the external USB-C SSD offers very fast performance thanks to its USB 3.2 Gen2x2 interface. Silicon Power says the design is inspired by "architectural concrete," but truth be told, it looks like a standard rectangle to me.
The entire body of the Cinema Pro PNV350 SSD is made of CNC-machined aluminum, not only giving it a sleek and modern look but also allowing heat to be conducted quickly and efficiently. The result is enhanced heat dissipation and maximum utilization of the heat-dissipating surface area, ensuring optimal performance even during demanding tasks.
