This article is part of the Technology Insight series, made possible with funding from Intel. Ubiquitous connectivity gives the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud carte blanche to generate data at ...

It is not an insignificant thing to announce an entirely new class of memory. After all, in the almost 60 years that memory has been manufactured, there have only been seven types that have ...

Expandable storage may be disappearing from phones, but SD cards still power consoles, cameras, and more. This guide explains the specs, speeds, and formats that actually ...

People tend to obsess about processing when it comes to system design, but ultimately an application and its data lives in memory and anything that can improve the capacity, throughput, and latency of ...

There was a time when the hierarchy of persistent storage products consisted of just disk and NAND flash storage. But today a new layer has become possible, between disk/SSD and memory. It is often ...

In this video from DDN booth at SC18, Andrey Kudryavtsev from Intel presents: Reimagining the Datacenter Memory and Storage Hierarchy. Intel Optane DC persistent memory represents a new class of ...

A couple weeks ago, I was talking with a couple colleagues about DSLR cameras, and invariably the topic about high speed SD and CF memory cards came up. What we wanted to know is if a high speed ...

This morning the SD Association announced the all new Ultra High Speed (UHS) Speed Class 3 (U3) alongside a new designation symbol to identify products capable of recording 4K2K videos. This new speed ...

Intel and Micron today announced 3D Xpoint, a new class of memory that the companies are calling a "major breakthrough in memory process technology." 3D Xpoint (pronounced cross point) is said to be ...

Storage performance is never good enough. DRAM speeds are measured in nanoseconds, but is volatile/non-persistent, meanwhile, even the fastest non-volatile storage – such as Intel Optane/3D XPoint – ...

It has been a while since we got the last official speed rating for SD cards from the SD Association and the current ratings are quite low compared to the speeds we see from other hardware parts these ...
