In 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB capacity and peaking at 7,250/6,300MB/s

Samsung has officially launched its new 990 EVO Plus SSD, promising an enhancement of up to 50 percent compared to the previous generation and using the latest 8th generation V-NAND in combination with a 5nm controller.

Sabrent has announced the new Rocket 2242 M.2 Gen 4 NVMe SSD, based on a rather short M.2-2242 form factor, which is often used with some handheld consoles, like the Lenovo Legion Go.

Aimed at gaming, content creation, and scientific computing

Micron Technology has announced its latest Micron 3500 NVMe SSD. Based on 232-layer NAND, the Micron 3500 SSD series comes in M.2 form-factor and in capacities of up to 2TB.

232-layer NAND and higher performance

Micron Technology has announced its latest Micron 7500 NVMe SSD for data center workloads. The Micron 7500 SSD series will be available in Pro and Max versions, based on U.3/U.2 form-factor, and feature Micron's own 232-layer NAND, promising up to 242% better random write performance compared to competitive drives.

Power will set the tone

A Pure Storage exec is predicting that no more hard disk drives will be sold after 2028 because of electricity costs and availability and NAND $/TB declines.

More than 11 per cent lower 

Global semiconductor revenue is projected to decline 11.2 per cent in 2023, according to the latest forecast from Gartner.

Mega SSDs on the way 

SK hynix has developed a new 4D NAND flash which will bring in their wake new mega SSDs.

To bring higher capacity SSDs in future

Kioxia has showcased 7-bit HLC NAND at the International Memory Workshop (IMW), which could bring higher-capacity SSDs in the future.

Price is important

Fruit and nutty cargo cult Apple is thinking to go to China for memory chips in iPhones, after a key Japanese partner had an output disruption.

Prices will rise

Chipmaker Micron Technology warned that while production will not drop due to component shortages driven by the Ukraine crisis, costs are expected to rise.
