addlink has come out with an M.2 SSD that is aimed at NAS users, the addlink addNAS N50. While it is marketed around replacing HDDs for a performance boost, its form factor suggests it may be better leverages as a cache in NAS devices (assuming the vendor hasn’t decided to only use their own SSDs).

The Intel Optane SSD P5800X expands on Intel’s fastest tier of SSD storage. We’ve seen Optane SSDs roll through the lab a good deal with the P4800X, which was launched a touch over four years ago. Over time Intel bumped the capacity of the drive (which started at 375GB), topping out at 1.5TB. The small

Intel launched the Optane DC Persistent Memory Module in the spring of 2019 as a way to bridge the gap between volatile DRAM and high-performance SSDs. A little over a year later, Intel has built on the platform with Intel Optane Persistent Memory 200 Series or Optane PMem 200 for short. The new modules are

Last year, Seagate announced an expansion to its enterprise SAS SSDs with the inclusion of the 3032 SAS SSD line. The line uses the SAS interface for 12Gb/s, dual-port 24×7 performance. The drives are 2.5” x 15mm and run in capacities from 400GB to 15.36TB. The series is further broken down into three endurance levels

When NVMe™ drives first came out, we knew the performance would be superior, but questioned when they would be cost-comparable to SATA SSDs. Due to their initial cost, NVMe drives were used for enterprise applications that needed to take advantage of their high-performance characteristics. It didn’t take very long for NVMe drives to become cheaper

Today Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., announced that it has begun mass production of the Samsung PM9A3 E1.S. The company claims that this is its most advanced line of data center SSDs. It is also said to be the industry’s first data center SSD that is compliant with the latest OCP standards.

This includes new SSDs for data centers, Intel Optane SSD P5800X, and for client use with the Intel Optane Memory H20. The company rolled out the 3rd generation of its Intel Optane persistent memory for cloud and enterprise customers.

Earlier this year, Netlist added an M.2 NVMe to its portfolio of SSD in the form of the Netlist NS1552. The new SSD is all about high performance at a low power cost. This particular enterprise drive is aimed at use cases such as boot and log information, searching, indexing, CDN, Cloud and hyperscale computing,

The DapuStor H3900 is an enterprise SSD that is part of the company’s Haishen3-XL line. Unlike the H3100 or the H3200, the DapuStor H3900 is based around KIOXIA XL-FLASH technology (the first drive available on the market with the new technology), hence the name of Haishen3-XL. Being based around storage class memory (SCM), this SSD
