Happy 25th Birthday, SD memory card!
Happy birthday, SD card. It’s been 25 years since the launch of the original SD memory card back in 2000, and somehow, it’s still going strong. While plenty of storage formats have come and gone, the SD card has quietly kept doing its job -- storing our photos, videos, music, and games without much fuss.
The SD Association is celebrating this big milestone by reminding everyone just how far things have come. In those 25 years, over 12 billion SD and microSD cards have been sold. That’s not a typo. 12 billion. From point-and-shoot cameras to smartphones and gaming handhelds, these little cards have shown up everywhere.
SABRENT releases new Rocket 4 SSDs: 1TB and 2TB available now, 4TB coming soon
SABRENT has launched its latest additions to the Rocket 4 series: the 1TB and 2TB DRAM-LESS M.2 PCIe GEN 4 X4 NVMe SSDs. The Rocket 4 series is designed to leverage the full potential of PCIe 4.0 technology, offering blazing-fast sequential read and write speeds of up to 7400/6400 MB/s and impressive random IOPS of up to 1000K/950K.
What sets these drives apart is their single-sided design, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of systems, including desktops, laptops, and even PS5 consoles. Additionally, the absence of DRAM contributes to lower power consumption and heat output, making these drives ideal for intensive workloads and environments where heat management is crucial.
