The novelty by ADATA – XPG SX7000 – has recently joined the company’s model line of high-speed solid-state drives. This product is performed in the M.2 2280 format and operates on the base of 3D NAND TLC chips and SMI controller. The manufacturer offers four capacity options, namely 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB and 1 TB.



The PCI Express 3.0 x4 interface and the NVMe 1.2 specification make ADATA XPG SX7000 highly efficient. It ensures the 1,800 MB/s of reading and 850 MB/s of writing speed. The random performance at 4 KB data handling corresponds to 130,000 and 140,000 IOPS. Thus, these rates are much higher than those of standard HDD and SATA SSD, which provides a perfect system responsiveness, as well as high productivity.


Additionally the ADATA XPG SX7000 SSD features the DRAM memory cache and supports SLC Caching, LDPC ECC, RAID Engine and Data Shaping. The 5-year warranty is supplied.

Kingston Digital, a global designer of data storage and memory solutions, announces the release of a cost-effective SSD to extend V300 series. Codenamed Kingston SSDNow V300, the drives are intended specifically for cost-conscious consumers looking to upgrade their desktop or mobile systems. Under the claimed data, the new drives are ten times faster than standard HDDs and feature outstanding speed characteristics, where the spindle achieves 7200 rpm.



Kingston SSDNow V300 is based on SandForce SF-2281 controller and employs SATA 3 interface. The manufacturer offers its new products in three variations of 60GB, 120GB and 240GB capacity. Due to the implementation of an updated NAND flash-memory, developed under 19 nm technological process, SSDNow can boast 450 Mb/sec of consecutive Read/Write speed. At the same time, the showings ascribed to the random Read (4KB) operations demonstrate 85000 IOPS for all available models; however, when it goes about random Write operations, the …

Last week the VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) organization reported that the work on the DisplayHDR standard was over. This standard defines the quality of HDR content, being rendered by a display. Today we already know the name of the first device, which has successfully passed the certification mentioned. It’s the 49-inch Samsung C49HG90 monitor, which meets all requirements for obtaining DisplayHDR 600 conformity marking.

 

To receive this certificate a display must offer the ultimate 600 cd/m² brightness, the 10-bit colour depth and cover at least 99 % of the BT.709 palette and 90 % of the DCI-P3 colour space.

 

Samsung C49HG90 features the 3840 x 1080 pixels resolution, 144 Hz refresh rate, 3000:1 static contrast, 600 cd/m² max brightness and 1 ms response time. Other specs include Quantum Dot backlighting as well as AMD FreeSync 2 support.

 

The Samsung C49HG90 estimated cost is $999.00.
