Rob Crooke, CEO of Solidigm and a 10-year veteran of Intel's memory business, told CRN that while the memory business has been a profitable one for Intel, Intel realized that to get the scale needed to continue to serve customers' growing memory and SSD requirements required a huge investment in scale, and the SK Hynix had the scale necessary.

The popularity of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin has resulted in shortages of graphics cards as miners buy them in bulk. Now a new cryptocurrency is set to create another component shortage, only this time it's hard drives and SSDs that will be hard to find.

New portfolio of drives will be available in the first half of 2021

It also provides big boosts over the 970 Pro with PCIe 3.0 motherboards

Sony's new console can output 10.28 teraflops.

Windows ships with a full volume encryption tool called BitLocker.

"We are combining breakthrough speeds and capacities with revolutionary software solutions as we accelerate expansion in the premium SSD market," said Kye Hyun Kyung, executive vice president of Memory Solution Product & Development at Samsung Electronics. "We plan to introduce additional innovation led by our most advanced (sixth-generation) V-NAND in helping to trigger a lot more growth in the global IT market."

Samsung Electronics has begun mass producing 250-gigabyte (GB) SATA solid state drive (SSD) that integrates the company's sixth-generation (1xx-layer) 256-gigabit (Gb) three-bit V-NAND for global PC OEMs.

Toshiba Memory has announced XFMEXPRESS, a new technology for removable PCIe attached, NVMe memory devices.

Due to appear in May, the 3D XPoint and storage combo is aimed at the thin laptop market.

Samsung Electronics on Wednesday introduced a new portable solid state drive, the Samsung Portable SSD X5, which boasts improved speed that can transfer a 20 gigabyte file in 12 seconds.

Oversupply and seasonal weakness combine for a potential big drop in SSD prices.

With the SSD and NAND flash memory markets booming, Western Digital has made the tough decision to shut down its HDD (hard disk drive) manufacturing factory in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia by the end of 2019.

Western Digital has announced what the company claims is the world's first client solid state drives built with its 64-layer 3D NAND technology.

Intel is warning its channel partners that demand for SSDs is expected to outstrip supply for all of 2017, forcing the company to prioritize its production for data center SSDs over lower-cost consumer SSDs.

Intel has announced the first Optane-branded product using its new 3D XPoint memory: the catchily named Intel Optane SSD DC P4800X.

Western Digital reported a better-than-expected fiscal second quarter amid strong enterprise and solid state demand.

Samsung Electronics has announced that it is now the world's number one supplier of enterprise solid state drives used in corporate data centers, as reported by a number of analyst firms.

SanDisk has announced that the Ministry of Commerce of China has approved the acquisition of SanDisk by Western Digital.

Samsung Electronics is widening its lead with competitors in the solid-state drive (SSD) market, which is considered a growing field in the NAND memory semiconductor industry, dominating the market.

The transaction is expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2016.

2015 was the beginning of the end for SSDs in the data center. Why? Because researchers have delved deep into their actual behavior and found multiple problems.

This is a huge development for the company's data center business, as its long-term goal is to become a complete provider of data center solutions.

SK Hynix has returned to the consumer solid state drives market again, three years after the company disappeared in the market in 2012.

The two companies could reach a deal as soon as this week.

One day after an earnings call with investors, Micron Technology has acquired Tidal Systems for an undisclosed sum.

Most of the company's revenue streams have suffered in the first half of 2015, with the exception of enterprise SSD revenues, which witnessed a massive 64% y-o-y increase to $360 million.

Samsung Electronics recently signed a new SSD supply contract for its 256GB SSDs to be used in the laptops of major suppliers such as Apple and Microsoft.

A new low-power, high-speed memory technology on the horizon could replace solid-state drives, hard drives and DRAM in PCs, and bring higher levels of storage capacity to mobile devices and wearables.

According to industry sources, Apple has decided to discontinue its use of triple-level cell (TLC) NAND, since the company believes that the functional defects plaguing the 64GB iPhone 6 and the 128GB iPhone 6+ stem from a problem in the controller IC of the TLC NAND flash. The controller IC in question is reportedly made by SSD maker Anobit, which was sold to Apple in 2011.

As numerous reports of low read performance of the Samsung SSD 840 and 840 EVO using TLC NAND flash have surfaced on the Internet, a problem in the controller IC is considered to be the more likely cause of the defects.

Flash memory card maker SanDisk has reported an increase in profits for the fourth quarter, due largely to higher revenues and strong margins.

The slow pace of change in the flash-manufacturing industry means that prices of SSDs will likely hold steady compared to 2013, but price hikes could be in the offing.

The dynamics of the solid-state state drive market are shifting, and for Abhi Talwalkar it's been a disappointing shift in 2013.
