  • The 3D SSD
    You need three things from a solid-state disk (SSD): speed, capacity, and reliability. You need three things from a portable SSD: speed, capacity, reliability, and diminutive size. And you can’t get much smaller than packing an SSD into the form factor of a USB memory stick. That’s exactly what LaCie has done with its FastKey drive. It’s ...

  • STT-MRAM -- from Seagate???
    On June 12, 1989, I flew to Minnesota from Denver, Colorado, picked up a rental car, and drove from Minneapolis to Bloomington to attend a special disk drive conference being held by the leading vendor of cutting-edge 5.25-inch hard disk drives--Imprimis--which was the disk-drive spinout subsidiary of Control Data Corporation (CDC). I had an ...

  • Apple boots HDD--completely out of the new MacBook Air notebooks. SSD is the only option
    Claiming that the move unifies Apple’s product line, Steve Jobs yesterday announced two new lightweight MacBook Air notebook computers. Significantly, neither HDD nor optical disk storage is an internal option for these two new laptops. SSD is the only storage on offer, with capacities from 64 to 256 Gbytes. Although Jobs claims that Apple placed ...

  • Angelbird Ltd. Introduces “Wings,” a low-cost PCIe SSD for PCs. $239 for 16 Gbytes
    Stop me if you’ve heard this one. The fastest way to get high performance from an SSD is to bypass the disk interface and plug the SSD directly into the PC’s PCIe port. Vendors of high-performance (read “expensive”) SSDs do just that. So just where does startup (or is that “upsart”) Angelbird Ltd. get the moxie to announce a PCIe-based SSD card ...

  • Hitachi-LG Data Storage fixes optical drive with SSD assist to use one SATA port
    Hitachi-LG Data Storage has updated the hybrid optical/SSD drive it announced earlier this year (How does a hybrid SSD/optical drive make sense?) by integrating the SSD with the optical drive controller and making both the optical and solid-state drives accessible through one 6Gbps SATA III port. The first-generation drive introduced earlier this ...

  • Made in South Korea: Graphene memristor memory cells on a flexible plastic substrate
    IEEE Spectrum has just reported on the successful fabrication of graphene-based memory cells on a flexible plastic substrate by Sung-Yool Choi and his research team working at the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute in Daejeon, South Korea. The memristor memory closely resembles that of HP, using a simple crosspoint-array ...

  • Brian Fuller @EETimes: Renesas to put MRAM in 90nm microcontrollers by 2013
    EETimes’ Brian Fuller is blogging live from the Renesas DevCon down in southern California and he reports this morning that Renesas has announced plans to incorporate MRAM (magnetic RAM) in its microcontrollers built using 90nm process technology, with parts to be introduced by 2013. At that geometry, Renesas expects the MRAM to support 150MHz ...

  • Sandforce Enterprise-Class SSD 2500/2600 processors deliver double performance
    SandForce has just announced a new enterprise-class SF-2000 SSD processor family including the SF-2500 and SF-2600, which deliver approximately twice the performance of the company’s existing SF-1500 SSD processor. The new SSD processors start with SATA III 6Gbps host interfaces that have twice the maximum bandwidth of the SF-1500’s SATA II ...

  • Anandtech reports that Intel’s new SSDs that incorporate 25nm Flash will have 4x the lifespan rating
    This blog previously reported that Intel will be rolling out new versions of its highly regarded X25-M SSDs. These new drives will incorporate 25nm MLC Flash devices. Now, Anandtech has reported some interesting specs. Maximum capacity is up from 160 to 600 Gbytes. Sequential read performance is unchanged at 250 Mbytes/sec but write performance ...

  • Renesas introduces new 1.1Gbit low-latency DDR DRAM (LLDRAM) for networking apps
    Renesas has introduced a new 1.1Gbit, low-latency DDR DRAM (LLDRAM) primarily for networking applications that really need the device’s low 13.3nsec read/write latency. This part is another in the series of LLDRAMs originally developed by NEC. (Renesas and NEC announced a merger agreement last September and have now completed this action.) There ...
