Crucial Debuts New DDR4 Memory, SSD Software At Computex
Crucial today announced updates to its Storage Executive tool, along with new Ballistix DDR4 16GB performance memory for dektops and DDR4 2400MT/s 8Gb-based RDIMM, LRDIMM, and ECC UDIMM server modules.
The new version (3.20) of the Storage Executive tool features Momentum Cache, an intelligent caching feature that can enhance the burst performance of an SSD by up to 10x, and allows users to extend SSD lifetime by reducing redundant writes. The tool uses idle memory for caching as needed, and installs easily via the Storage Executive interface.
In addition to the new features, Storage Executive also allows users to update to the latest firmware; Monitor drive's temperature and health; Reset the drive's encryption password; check how much storage has been used.
Crucial Storage Executive can be installed from www.crucial.com/se, is compatible with Microsoft Windows 7 and newer operating systems, and works with the Crucial M500, M550, MX100, MX200, and BX100 SSDs.
An equivalent version of Storage Executive is also available for Micron client SSDs at micron.com/storage-executive.
Moving on the the memory announcements, the new Crucial Ballistix DDR4 16GB performance memory is obviously aimed at gamers and enthusiasts.
The new modules leverage Micron's new 8Gb DDR4 component technology to offer up the highest density DDR4 memory to date.
Available across Sport LT, Tactical, and Elite product lines, each module includes Intel XMP 2.0 profiles for easy setup and support.
Ballistix DDR4 16GB memory is expected to ship in late July. Available in 16GB modules or in kits up to 128GB, the modules come with a limited lifetime warranty.
Crucial has also started sampling Crucial DDR4 2400MT/s 8Gb-based RDIMM, LRDIMM, and ECC UDIMM server modules through its Technology Enablement Program.
Engineered to enable higher density modules, 8Gb-based DDR4 memory allows for increased performance, bandwidth, and energy efficiency.
Higher density modules, when combined with the next DDR4 speed increase of 2400MT/s, create greater channel bandwidth and channel density, as well as increased energy efficiency.
Designed for the next-generation processor product families, Crucial 8Gb-based server memory is tested to mission-critical standards and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
The new modules are expected to be available in late July.
