Una empresa china saltó a la fama a principios de 2024 con el primer 2TB del mundo Tarjeta micro SD – que ya hemos probado – Ahora planea lanzar un SSD PCIe NVMe de 16 TB, también el primero del mundo, en Computex 2024.
Los detalles exactos son escasos, y el comunicado de prensa de AGI solo menciona “PCIe de 16 TB SSD HMB líder en la industria, que ofrece un rendimiento incomparable” junto con una imagen SSD M.2 2280.
No sabemos si será un modelo PCIe de 4ª o 5ª generación y si tendrá disipador de grafeno pero es seguro que lo utilizará. QLC Piezas.
Tiene una prima importante: en el momento de escribir este artículo, es el modelo más barato. Misil Sabrent S NVMe es una pieza PCIe 3.0 y se vende por $800. Un SSD de 16 TB basado en el mismo precio por terabyte costaría la friolera de $1,600, si no más, considerando que es un modelo premium.
Este es un poco más caro que el centrado en la empresa. Solidigm D5-P5316que comienza en $1,490 pero este último es un SSD de 2.5 pulgadas (por lo que es mucho más grande y no cabe en una computadora portátil) y tiene una capacidad menor.
Un SSD SATA de 8 TB puede ser una ganga
La abreviatura HMB se refiere a una tecnología llamada Búfer de memoria del host Es una forma común para que los fabricantes reduzcan costos eliminando componentes DRAM mientras mantienen el rendimiento; Al hacerlo, también se libera espacio para agregar tarjetas de memoria adicionales.

AGI también planea presentar un SSD SATA de 8 TB que competirá con Samsung 870QVO, la unidad más común de este tamaño que se vende por alrededor de $600. Se espera que el dispositivo sin nombre “supere los límites del almacenamiento a nivel de consumidor, estableciendo un nuevo estándar de capacidad” y probablemente integre la familia AI238 existente, que viene con una garantía de tres años.
La empresa también produce Unidades de estado sólido portátiles, Puerto USB Además de módulos de memoria DDR5 y DDR4. Nos hemos comunicado con AGI para obtener muestras para revisión y detalles adicionales sobre estos productos. Actualizaremos el artículo a tiempo.
apetito por Unidades SSD de gran capacidad El mercado de consumo es muy pequeño, lo que explica por qué la mayoría de los portátiles que se venden por menos de 1.000 dólares están disponibles con hasta 2 TB de capacidad. La llegada del almacenamiento en la nube, junto con la capacidad de ejecutar software como servicio (es decir, desde la nube), significa que 2 TB son suficientes para la mayoría de las personas.
Además, las computadoras portátiles más grandes (de 15,6 pulgadas y superiores) a menudo tienen una ranura SSD de repuesto, lo que significa que puede agregar otra SSD vacía para obtener capacidad adicional, eliminando la necesidad de optar por el modelo más grande y de mayor precio.
Phison ha anunciado su nueva marca de unidades de estado sólido (SSD) Pascari, dirigida a aplicaciones empresariales y de centros de datos.
La compañía dice que la medida, como se esperaba, es “en respuesta al crecimiento explosivo de las tecnologías de inteligencia artificial y la creciente demanda de soluciones de almacenamiento de alto rendimiento capaces de gestionar conjuntos de datos completos y cargas de trabajo intensivas”.
La marca Pascari se dio a conocer con el lanzamiento de la serie X200, los primeros SSD empresariales PCIe Gen5 de Phison. La compañía dice que estos dispositivos han sido diseñados para cumplir con requisitos de rendimiento extremos, necesidades de almacenamiento masivas y requisitos de firmware avanzados.
Competir con sus clientes
La introducción de la marca Pascari también tiene como objetivo ampliar el alcance de mercado de Phison, aumentando la accesibilidad de las soluciones SSD empresariales en los canales industriales y comerciales. La línea completa de SSD Pascari incluirá la Serie Performance X, la Serie AI, la Serie D para Centro de Datos, la Serie S SATA y la Serie B de Boot Drive.
La serie Pascari X200 SSD de Phison, que presenta la arquitectura de CPU CoXProcessor, está diseñada específicamente para computación de alto rendimiento (HPC), inteligencia artificial, hiperescalado y centros de datos. Ofrecen puertos PCIe Gen5x4 simples/dos, capacidades variables de 1,6 TB a 30,72 TB, impresionantes velocidades de lectura y escritura secuencial de 14,8 GB/s y 8,7 GB/s respectivamente, y sólidas medidas de seguridad.
Si bien fabricar sus propias unidades SSD es probablemente un paso inevitable, por ejemplo Servicio a domicilio “Al mismo tiempo, esto creará cierto caos”, señala. Phison ahora compite con algunos de sus propios clientes. Inevitablemente, esto causa problemas en las relaciones. Será interesante ver cómo esto moldeará el mercado en los próximos trimestres. Sin embargo, para Phison, el costo de la lista de materiales de un SSD de centro de datos moderno está dominado por el contenido NAND. Como resultado, vender un SSD completo (lo que la compañía ha hecho durante años como modelo OEM/ODM) genera muchos más ingresos por SSD que vender solo la consola.
“La presentación de la marca Pascari representa un hito importante para Phison a medida que continuamos innovando y liderando la tecnología NAND Flash”, dijo KS Pua, director ejecutivo de Phison. “Nuestro compromiso se extiende más allá de los productos; a través de Pascari y nuestros servicios de diseño IMAGIN+, permitimos a las organizaciones crear arquitecturas de almacenamiento flash personalizadas que se ajusten con precisión a sus requisitos de rendimiento, garantizando un rápido crecimiento empresarial y una mayor creación de valor”.

El almacenamiento es una preocupación importante para las empresas que luchan por realizar copias de seguridad y administrar todos los datos que generan, una situación que no ayudó con la llegada de la IA generativa que ha alterado drásticamente las soluciones de almacenamiento tradicionales.
La respuesta de Huawei a este problema es su dispositivo NAS OceanStor A800. Presentado originalmente el año pasado, Huawei lo mostró adecuadamente a periodistas y socios europeos reunidos en el reciente foro Innovative Data Infrastructure (IDI) 2024 en Berlín.
como Informenos, el OceanStor A800 es capaz de realizar 24 millones de operaciones IOPS por gabinete de controlador, lo que proporciona diez veces el rendimiento del almacenamiento actual y diez veces el rendimiento de datos. Admite ancho de banda en PB/s y 100 millones de IOPS y, según Huawei, proporciona una confiabilidad de datos del 99,9999%.
Exclusivamente para OceanStor A800 NAS
Actualmente, el almacenamiento del OceanStor A800 viene en forma de SSD de 30 y 50 TB, pero eso cambiará cuando la compañía presente un SSD de 128 TB el próximo año. Huawei dijo que la nueva unidad interna masiva, que se anunció previamente pero se presentó oficialmente en el Foro IDI 2024, “consumirá un 88% menos de espacio de almacenamiento y un 92% menos de energía que los SSD de otros proveedores al almacenar cada petabyte de datos”. No se reveló la identidad exacta del “vendedor de contraparte”.
Así lo afirmó Michael Fan, vicepresidente de marketing de almacenamiento de datos de Huawei Bloques y archivos Estos nuevos SSD utilizarán “una combinación de flash TLC y QLC para mejorar la capacidad y la vida útil de la unidad. Cuentan con un controlador desarrollado por Huawei y vienen en formatos U.2 y de tamaño de palma”. El sitio también señaló que “el tamaño de la palma de la mano”. El formato es más delgado que un SSD Solid U.2 y puede ser más largo o más corto. Este formato parece ser similar al formato EDSFF E3.S, pero Huawei no utiliza la nomenclatura EDSFF.
Aunque Huawei no ha dicho mucho sobre los SSD de 128 TB, o la tecnología detrás de ellos, parece probable que por ahora se usen exclusivamente en su dispositivo NAS OceanStor A800, aunque es posible que estén disponibles en… Más amplio alcance en el futuro. .

Content producers are churning out data in unprecedented volumes, with high-definition images and 4K/8K video content consuming an enormous amount of storage space. Creators typically need to store several versions of their projects, including the initial raw files, edited versions, and the published format.
Catering to this need, Western Digital has launched a new external SSD, the SanDisk Desk Drive, which comes in 4 and 8TB capacities.
External SSDs can operate at incredibly high speeds compared to their HDD counterparts, which means that content creators can not only store, but also edit their photos and videos directly from the drive itself, decreasing the time spent on transferring files, accelerating work efficiency while ensuring that the data is securely stored.
16TB versions planned
“As digital content creation continues to soar, there is an increasing need for high-performing and high-capacity storage solutions to help manage and preserve it. Expanding our SSD portfolio is the first step in offering creators backup solutions that deliver the speed and flexibility they need to unlock their creativity,” says Susan Park, Vice President, Consumer Solutions, Western Digital.
The SanDisk Desk Drive boasts read speeds up to 1000 MB/s, and fast backup capabilities using Apple Time Machine or the included downloadable Acronis True Image for Western Digital backup software. The device also sports a modern Red Dot award-winning design.
Retailing at $379.99/£359.99 and $699.99/£663.99 for the 4TB and 8TB versions respectively, these devices can be purchased now from the Western Digital Store and other retailers.
Western Digital doesn’t intend to stop at 8TB however. Susan Park says, “By next year, we expect to double the capacity of the SanDisk Desk Drive from 8TB to 16TB on a single desktop SSD.”

It’s no secret that the race is on to produce the first 1000TB SSD. At its Tech Day in 2022, Samsung revealed ambitious plans to “stack over 1,000 layers” in its most advanced NAND chip by 2030, meaning a petabyte SSD could arrive by then.
Last year the company dropped hits that it might be in a position to deliver it much sooner, but that looks to have been wishful thinking on the tech industry’s behalf.
That said, it’s clearly full steam ahead on the development of future NAND chips. The South Korean electronics giant recently announced it would commence mass production of its newest 290-layer ninth-generation vertical (V9) NAND chips shortly, and it’s widely expected it will reveal a staggering 430-layer tenth-generation (V10) NAND chip next year.
Hafnia Ferroelectrics
So while we don’t know much about what’s going on behind the scenes in the company’s quest to produce the first Petabyte SSD, some clues have appeared online.
At this year’s VLSI Technology Symposium in Honolulu, there’s going to be a Technical Session presented by Giwuk Kim, a Ph.D student at the department of Electrical Engineering at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). His research interests include hafnia-based FE-NAND memory, FeRAM, and In-memory computing application, and this will be the focus of the session, which is titled “In-depth Analysis of the Hafnia Ferroelectrics as a Key Enabler for Low Voltage & QLC 3D VNAND Beyond 1K Layer Experimental Demonstration and Modeling.”
The summary of the work which – spoiler alert – has been co-authored by Samsung Electronics, reads as follows: “We experimentally demonstrate a remarkable performance improvement, boosted by the interaction of charge trapping & ferroelectric (FE) switching effects in metal-band engineered gate interlayer (BE-G.IL)-FE-channel interlayer (Ch.IL)-Si (MIFIS) FeFET. The MIFIS with BE-G.IL (BE-MIFIS) facilitates the maximized ‘positive feedback’ (Posi. FB.) of dual effects, leading to low operation voltage (VPGM/VERS: +17/-15 V), a wide memory window (MW: 10.5 V) and negligible disturb at a biased voltage of 9 V. Furthermore, our proposed model verifies that the performance enhancement of the BE-MIFIS FeFET is attributed to the intensified posi. FB. This work proves that the hafnia FE can play as a key enabler in extending the technology development of 3D VNAND, which is currently approaching a state of stagnation.”
Quite what role Samsung will play in the demonstration (if anything) isn’t known at the moment, but the firm isn’t alone in exploring the potential of hafnia ferroelectrics. Giwuk Kim’s talk is part of a parent session at the symposium titled “Non-Volatile Memory Technology – Hafnia Based Ferroelectrics-1” which will be chaired by Deoksin Kil, Head of Material Development at Samsung’s archrival SK hynix.

The latest idea to cross our desks comes from Gabriel Ferraz, a computer engineer and TechPowerUp’s SSD database maintainer, who turned a 512GB QLC SATA III SSD into a 120GB SLC one.
You probably know this, but just as refresher, SLC NAND holds one bit of data per cell, resulting in faster data writing, lower power consumption, and higher cell endurance than QLC NAND which stores four bits per cell. QLC NAND is denser and cheaper, but with the downside of compromised longevity and speed.
3000% endurance increase
Ferraz’s idea was to trade capacity for massively improved performance and endurance. He took 512GB a Crucial BX500 SSD which has a Silicon Motion SM2259XT2 controller and NAND flash dies from Micron. Using an app called MPtools for the Silicon Motion SM2259XT2 controller, he identified the precise die used in the SSD and inputted in new die reference numbers.
Was it worth it? Well, while Ferraz lost a lot of drive space, he says “the SSD endurance jumps to 4000 TBW (write cycles), which is about a 3000% increase. Additionally, performance increased as well.”
Ferraz explains his process here, and you can also watch him perform his clever trick in the video below, which includes benchmarking results.

Nvidia has transformed into an AI superpower, becoming the third most valuable company in the world off the back of it, so it’s perhaps no surprise other tech giants are looking on in envy and shifting their focus to follow suit.
During its recent earnings call, Samsung reported a consolidated operating profit of $4.8 billion in Q1 – a tenfold increase YoY – and company executives revealed a change in focus going forward.
The plan is now to concentrate on producing HBM and DDR5 memory and high-capacity SSD chips for the enterprise market, rather than targeting consumer PCs and mobile devices.
Meeting demand
“We plan to increase supply of HBM chips in 2024 by more than threefold versus last year,” Kim Jae-june, Samsung’s memory business vice president, said on the call, reported the Korea Economic Daily. “We have already completed talks with our clients on this year’s supply of HBM chips. In 2025, our HBM chip production will double from this year. Our talks on the 2025 volume with our customers are also going well.”
Samsung, currently ranked 23 in the world, has already invested heavily in HBM but currently trails behind its archrival, SK Hynix, in this area. SK Hynix recently announced plans to construct the world’s largest chip factory and has begun a partnership with Taiwanese foundry TSMC to produce HBM4.
Samsung said it anticipates a 50% increase in server DRAM production in Q2, and double output of server SSD in terms of bit growth. The company believes robust demand for AI chips will continue and stretch chip supplies throughout the year.
The South Korean tech giant also revealed it will commence mass production of its 8-layer HBM3E chips this month.

BitLocker, which is Microsoft’s software encryption for SSDs, has run into its fair share of issues over the years since its release. And now there’s another potential problem looming over Windows 11 users with the upcoming version 24H2 update.
There’s a new report that Windows 11 version 24H2, also called the 2024 update, “may enable BitLocker by default during installation” across various versions of Windows including Home edition, according to German news outlet Deskmodder (reported on by Neowin). Why is this considered bad news? For several reasons.
What’s the problem?
The first is that using BitLocker for encryption can seriously slow down your PCs’ performance by up to 45% in Windows Pro, and would most likely affect other versions of the OS similarly. This occurs due to Windows 11 constantly prompting encryption and decryption processes with data on your SSD while your computer carries out read and write operations.
The second issue is that a user unfamiliar with encryption in general or this specific issue with BitLocker could encrypt their data without knowing and then not be able to decrypt and recover their data due to misplacing or not saving the needed key.
There’s also a third issue with BitLocker in terms of security as well — according to YouTuber Stacksmashing, its encryption can be cracked remarkably easily. Their video demonstrates that if you’re using either a Windows 10 or Windows 11 Pro device with a dedicated external Trusted Platform Module (TPM), your encrypted data can be decrypted and read. You only need a $10 Raspberry Pi Pico, physical access to the target endpoint, and the knowledge of how to do it.
How to fix it
Of course, there is a simple way to fix this auto encryption. You only need to disable Device Encryption inside Privacy & security in Settings. Thankfully users have that option, but many casual Windows 11 users, especially those with Windows 11 Home, may not be aware of the situation, let alone how to fix it.
Hopefully, if this report is true, Microsoft will disable auto-encryption before the update launches. It’s not necessary and causes more problems than it really solves.

During Western Digital’s recent Q3 earnings call, CEO David Goeckeler disclosed that the ever-growing need for higher capacity and speedier data access from customers across the world is pushing the company to expand its solid-state capacities.
The company chalked up a profitable quarter, with revenues soaring over forecast to $3.46 billion, a 29% YoY rise. The company managed to turn around a streak of losses, reporting a $135 million profit. These achievements are in stark contrast to rival Seagate, which posted an 11% YoY reduction in its revenues to $1.66 billion.
Goeckeler underlined that Western Digital’s improved financial performance was a result of the company’s efforts to offer a more diversified product range. He also said that WD was committed to delivering larger SSD capacities off the back of growing demand for AI-related applications. He said customers “want them [SSDs] in much bigger capacity points, 30- and 60-terabyte capacity points.”
HAMR HDD technology
Reporting on the third quarter results, Blocks & Files wrote “WD currently ships DC SN640 TLC PCIe gen 3 SSDs with up to 30.72 TB capacity and PCIe gen 4 SN650 and 655 drives with 15.36 TB. We now expect 60 TB SSDs to be announced by WD later this year.”
Without going into details of the exact capacities being worked on, Goeckeler said the company was expanding the size of the drives in line with what customers were demanding, stating WD is “increasing capacity and going through a qualification on that. So, we’re in that process with customers.”
He also discussed hard-drive recording (HAMR) technology, including the issues surrounding it, stating, “we’ve been working on HAMR for quite some time. We understand HAMR extremely well. We understand all the issues with HAMR, and what it takes to get it qualified. Clearly, we’re doing that all behind the scenes, because we have a product portfolio with the best TCO we can offer in the market today, and we can do that all the way up to 40 terabytes.” Western Digital’s rival Seagate recently announced the results of an experimental test that showed one of its hard drives using HAMR could run continuously for over 6,000 hours.

Mainstream customers looking for fast storage have had a pick of dozens of M.2 PCIe 5.0 SSDs on the market over the last year and a half, but enterprise customers, creative industry professionals, or those who have been looking to upgrade their cloud server storage from older SATA or racks of PCIe 3.0 U.2 drives haven’t been as lucky.
With U.2 PCIe 5.0 drives only now just starting to make it to market, storage newcomer FlumeIO just might be a godsend with its FlumeIO 5900-series U.2 NVMe PCIe 5.0 SSDs, offering a massive speed upgrade for I/O-heavy devices like network servers at a surprisingly affordable price for an enterprise-grade SSD with this level of performance.
With budgetary pricing starting at $643 for 4TB, and scaling up to $2,059 for 16TB, the FlumeIO 5900-series (comprised of the FlumeIO 5900 and FlumeIO 5901 models, the latter of which I tested for this review), is often cheaper than slower, last-gen drives like the Samsung PM9A3, a Gen 4.0 drive with substantially lower read/write speeds, fewer IOPS, and higher latency.

It goes without saying that this affordability is relative, as customers in enterprise channels are used to paying many thousands of dollars for new drives on a rolling basis as their existing SSD drives near the end of their drive-write lifespan.
But while this drive is almost exclusively for data centers or similar high-throughput, high-volume network devices and systems, there are many creative or engineering and research workstations out there with U.2 compatible motherboards, and this drive might be especially interesting for those in these industries who need both massive storage capacity as well as speed.
(Image credit: Future / John Loeffler)
Fortunately, the FlumeIO 5900-series promises a lot and effectively delivers on those promises, at least as far as my testing is concerned. After an extensive couple of weeks putting this drive through its paces, it was ultimately with a heavy heart that I had to send it back to FlumeIO, as it’s the kind of SSD I’d have loved to have incorporated into my test bench in the NYC TechRadar office.
Starting with a simple, single direct I/O operation with 4KB read/write blocks and a 4GB file size, the FlumeIO 5901 scored lower than the promised IOPS and sequential read speeds, but that’s to be expected when using a single process and blocks so small, but it is instructive as to the performance of a single process on this drive. Multiple processes in a production environment will be able to push these numbers much higher, as we see when increasing the block size, process pool, and I/O queue depth.
Moving things into a more “production” like environment starts to push up against the promised 14GB/s sequential read and 10GB/s sequential write performance, while its random read IOPS likewise increases considerably, while its random write IOPS decreases a bit, given the increased block size.
Increasing the block size to 128KB slows things down a bit, especially with random I/O IOPS, but increase the number of processes to a true production environment of 128 processes or higher and these numbers too will likewise increase considerably.

For content creators or researchers with workstation-class hardware capable of mounting a U.2 drive and who might be considering this drive over an M.2 PCIe 5.0 SSD like the Crucial T705 or similar, this drive has a lot to offer you as well, including substantially faster random read and write speeds, while still maintaining top-tier sequential read and write performance that you’d expect from a PCIe 5.0 drive.
Even better, rather than having to configure several M.2 SSDs into a RAID configuration to get a solid storage device for very large files, this drive can give you a one-and-done solution thanks to its significantly larger capacities.
In the end, then, whatever your needs might be, this is one of the best U.2 SSD options on the market, and if you’re looking for a PCIe 5.0 SSD, there aren’t really many to choose from, making it relatively lower price point all the more impressive.
FlumeIO 5901 U.2 SSD: Price & availability
