TEAMGROUP T-FORCE M200 USB SSD is inspired by sniper rifles for some reason
Solid state drives make wonderful internal boot drives for computers, but they are also great options for external storage too. Not only are they smaller than mechanical hard disk drives, but they use less power and are much quicker as well. Quite frankly, if you are someone that needs to transport data on a portable drive, you'd be crazy to still use a HDD with moving parts.
Today, TEAMGROUP launches its latest portable solid state drive under its T-FORCE gaming brand. Called "M200," it has a USB-C port and ships with both a USB-C to USB-C cable and a USB-C to USB-A cable. In other words, it can be used with any modern computer -- whether it has a USB Type-C port or not. What makes this external SSD notable, however, is its rugged shell. Oddly, the design of the drive is apparently inspired by sniper rifles...

Enterprises move to software-defined storage as data volumes increase
A new report from the Linux Foundation looks at enterprise use of data and storage relating to cloud services and workloads.
The 2021 Data and Storage Trends Report, produced by the SODA Foundation and Linux Foundation Research, shows rapidly growing data volumes and a shift in how they're being handled.
ADATA launches insanely fast Premier Extreme SDXC SD 7.0 Express Card
Nowadays, professional photographers with high-end camera equipment are embracing CFexpress storage cards more and more. The problem? Those cards are quite expensive. Not to mention, many photographers can get by without the latest-and-greatest. And so, for many photographers -- amateur and professional alike -- good ol' SD cards are still more than fine.
Thankfully, companies are still putting out new SD cards, and today, ADATA launches its latest. Called "Premier Extreme," this SDXC SD 7.0 Express Card comes in two capacities -- 256GB and 512GB. What's most notable about the card, however, is its insane read and write speeds.
New storage solution cuts data costs and keeps organizations in control
As the quantity of unstructured data generated globally continues to grow exponentially, the storage needed to cope with it needs to grow too and that adds to cost.
What's more much of this data will be 'cold' -- inactive data that must be stored, protected, and kept accessible for years or decades because of compliance requirements or the value it contains.
The future of storage and how data volumes are driving change [Q&A]
There have been rapid increases in storage capacity in recent years, but the way the technology is used is largely unchanged. We still load data from storage into memory, process it, and write out any changes.
But as storage grows into petabytes this model will become harder to sustain. The future of storage will require abstraction layering and heterogeneous computing, allowing for scale, but reducing over-sophistication.
DNA-based chemical computing could revolutionize the IT industry
As volumes of data grow the resources needed to handle the associated computing and storage requirements are coming under increasing scrutiny, particularly in regard to their energy usage.
But maybe there's another way of doing things. Boston-based CATALOG is a leader in DNA-based digital data storage and has just secured $35 million in funding to progress the development of a computing platform where both data management and computation occur through the manipulation of synthetic DNA.

Kingston XS2000 is a speedy and rugged USB-C SSD for Windows, Mac, and Linux
Solid state drives make wonderful internal boot drives for computers, but they are also great options for external storage too. Not only are they smaller than mechanical hard disk drives, but they use less power and are much quicker as well. Quite frankly, if you are someone that needs to transport data on a portable drive, you'd be crazy to still use HDD in 2021.
If you want a diminutive external solid state drive, you must check out the Kingston XS2000. Not only is the drive fast, durable, and small, but it utilizes USB-C too. Not to mention, its design is so cute -- I absolutely adore it.
New device counters USB drive threats
Even in the age of the cloud, USB drives are still commonly used to exchange information between office and home computers, but they're used by hackers as a way to infiltrate systems too.
Researchers at the UK's Liverpool Hope University have developed a new scanning device that can counter the threat posed by USB devices.
Kingston launches droolworthy DataTraveler Max USB 3.2 Gen 2 Flash Drive
With cloud storage continuing to grow in popularity, USB flash drives have largely fallen out of favor with consumers. Maybe that's not such a bad thing, as USB flash drives are both easy to lose and are susceptible to failure -- the cloud is arguably more safe and secure. With that said, there should always be a need for local storage, Look, sometimes you just can't trust certain documents, such as company secrets, to the cloud.
It is hard to get excited about new USB flash drives though, right? I mean, aren't they all the same? Actually, no! They can vary on things like build quality and speed. Today, Kingston launches DataTraveler Max and the USB-C flash drive offers downright droolworthy performance.

PNY LX2030 and LX3030 SSDs are optimized for Chia (XCH) cryptocurrency plotting
Cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, are wildly popular these days. Whether or not it's smart to invest in these digital currencies is up for debate. Of course, the same can be said about any investment -- including stocks. With that said, cryptocurrency volatility can cause you to lose a lot of money. Still. some people have become very wealthy with crypto. Ultimately, your mileage may vary.
Unfortunately for some cryptocurrency investors, many of the coins are being vilified for their negative impact on the environment. If you aren't aware, "mining" many of these cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, require computers with high-end graphics cards that use a lot of electricity. Elon Musk even famously tweeted Tesla would stop accepting Bitcoin due to the horrific environmental impact.
