ADATA has been showing off some upcoming products at Computex, and it's all about DRAM.
We'll begin with an upcoming line of PCIe Enterprise/Server SSDs powered by the SandForce SF3700-series controller. We've been waiting for products with the SF3700 controller since January, when ADATA showed a prototype board at CES, and ADATA is now showcasing the controller in the "SR1020" series drives.
The first is a 2TB 2.5" drive, but the interface was not announced (and the sample on the floor appeared to be an empty shell). The listed specs are performance up to 1800MB/s and 150K IOPS, with the drive powered by the SF-3739 controller. Support for both AHCI and NVMe is also listed, along with the usual TRIM, NCQ, and SMART support.
Another 2TB SSD was shown with exactly the same specs as the 2.5" version, but this one is built on the M.2 spec. The drive will connect via 4 lanes of Gen 2 PCI Express. Both drives in ADATA's SR1020 PCIe SSD lineup will be available in capacities from 240GB – 2TB, and retail pricing and availability is forthcoming.
Continuing the DRAM theme, ADATA also showed new DDR4 modules in commodity and enthusiast flavors. Both of the registered DIMMs on display (an ultra-low profile DIMM was also shown) had standard DDR4 specs of 2133MHz at 1.2V, but ADATA also showed some performance DDR4 at their booth.

No pricing or availability just yet on these products.
I’d expect that 2TB isn’t
I’d expect that 2TB isn’t really going to be economical for the average enthusiast, but 2 of those in RAID0 would be all I’d ever need on a basic box. A sign of only better things to come I’m sure 🙂
Yeah, but imagine if price
Yeah, but imagine if price per GB falls to the ten to twenty cent range.
2048 × .1 = $204.80, AKA economical.
2048 x .2 = $409.60, which is where the 250GB drives were just a few years back and the 480-500GB drives fall now.
What I’m saying is that SSD prices are falling amazingly fast!
I believe these are sata
I believe these are sata express ssds which are priced similarly to what ssds where before more than $1 per gig, the traditional sata 6 gig ssds fell to about 40 cents per gig
Let the dust settle with
Let the dust settle with SATA3, MSATA, M.2, SATA-Express, NVME and wait until late 2015/early 2016 to buy something.
Also, Intel needs to up their PCIe lanes across all their platforms…
2 TB of SSD goodness ??
Come
2 TB of SSD goodness ??
Come to Daddy !!!
When we these products will
When we these products will be avalaible to the market?
deez
deez nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but for real yall are super lame
