Plextor to show 3D NAND and M8Se SSDs at CES

Plextor to show 3D NAND and M8Se SSDs at CES

Plextor has announced some of the goods they will be demonstrating at CES this year. The company is to offer 3D (vertically stacked) NAND SSDs to offer more performance and volume  at lower cost. Also it will introduce the M8Se PCI Express SSD and a compact external SSD.

Nothing much is shared on the 3D NAND SSD specs wise, except a mention that that they have a higher durability, reliability and performance at lower cost. The same applies to the M8Se series, except that they get a better heatsink, so performance does not collapse due to thermal throttling.

External SSD get more details. The EX1 (we'll have a review soon) has a size of 2.5 x 7.6 cm and weighs only 30 grams. He would be shock resistant and also works with Android. There is a USB Type-C port for quick and universal data transfer. The drive would have write speeds of 500 to 550 MBps.
  

 
FREMONT, Calif., Dec. 20, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PLEXTOR, a leading developer of award-winning solid state drives (SSDs) and other high-performance digital storage devices for consumers, today announced it will introduce its first 3D NAND SSD during a “sneak peek” media event at CES 2017.

PLEXTOR will roll out 3D NAND flash in its next generation of SSDs in 2017. The company continues its efforts in delivering technological breakthroughs for a wide range of consumer needs. The new 3D NAND SSD Series features increased drive endurance, better reliability and higher performance at a lower cost.  
 
The new PLEXTOR 3D NAND SSDs will feature PLEXTOR’s exclusive and well regarded software suite, namely:

  1. PlexNitro, tailor-made write acceleration technology
  2. PlexTurbo, smart caching technology that applies system memory to decrease the amount of time-consuming reading and writing
  3. PlexCompressor, smart compressing technology providing more storage capacity while maintaining high performance
  4. PlexVault, a data protection technology that enables users to setup up exclusive spaces for sensitive information via hot keys

“Consumers are doing far more with computers than they ever have, whether it’s doing graphic design, watching full-length movies or playing intense video games. All of that requires storage systems capable of handling the expanding needs of consumers, without fail,” said Christine Hsing, Global Marketing manager at PLEXTOR. “Our upcoming 3D NAND SSDs are designed to meet the ever-changing needs of our customers, no matter how basic or sophisticated.”

Alongside the new 3D NAND SSDs, PLEXTOR will also unveil its latest addition to the award-winning NVMe PCIe family with the M8Se Series, which is targeted at entry-level gamers and gaming enthusiasts without breaking the bank. The upcoming M8Se will also include a host of other features, such as the next generation heatsink to further reduce the risk of higher temperatures compromising system performance. 

PLEXTOR will also showcase its super sleek, lightweight, and ultra-slim external SSD - the EX1. With an ultra-compact size (1”x3”), almost weightless at only 30 grams, it is smaller and lighter than a deck of playing cards, making it ideal for road warriors requiring access to important files without internet connection. The EX1 is shock-proof, ultra-portable, and supports on-the-go (OTG) storage for Android devices.*  With transmission speeds up to 500/550 Mbps, it is a definite alternative to slow USB drives. Equipped with a Type-C connector and Plextor's powerful, high-performance SSD, the EX1 is a definite contender in external storage solutions. To add some peace of mind, the EX1 comes with optional data encryption software.

About PLEXTOR:

PLEXTOR is a world-leading developer of award-winning solid state drives, and other high-performance digital storage devices for consumers. The company launched its first Solid-State drive with the proprietary True Protect technology in 2012. PLEXTOR's award-winning products and reputation for excellence continue to be reflections of its fundamental values. The Plextor brand is licensed to Lite-On Technology Corporation.

I remember when Plextor used to make incredible CD-R/W drives. (I'm old)

Bah that's not too old, I remember 5.25 floppies (That's not the storage size.) and when mechanical HDD's at a few GB was a huge thing. :D

Nice to see the SSD market growing so quickly, need to switch over to that eventually but probably won't happen until I build the next completely new system. :)
(Once there's something worth the upgrade cost, AMD? Intel? Nvidia? could be anything by then and then all the others for memory, HDD or SSD storage, motherboards and stuff like the PSU and probably even the chassis while at it.)

EDIT: Of course before that there was also HDD units of a couple of MB being a huge thing and before that but the HDD sizes were a "little" bit bigger still. :P

Oh I 'member

But I had terrible luck with both readers and burners, as well as mediums themselves.
Only decent unit was my first one, noname CD drive,12x I think

Teacs and Pioneers would just die on me.
Hmm... maybe I pushed cd/dvds the wrong way in the device. Whos to tell :wanker:


Btw there is a difference between this 3d nand and vnand?
