Here are some of the first pictures of the GoodRAM IRDM Ultimate PCIe Gen 5 M.2 NVMe SSD. Built in the M.2-2580 form-factor, the drive combines Phison's upcoming E26 controller, with what's likely KIOXIA 162-layer 3D TLC NAND flash memory. The controller takes advantage of the PCI-Express 5.0 x4 interface, and NVMe 2.0 protocol, offering sequential transfer speeds of around 10 GB/s reads, with around 9.5 GB/s writes. The drive comes in capacities of 1 TB, 2 TB, and 4 TB. It comes with a fairly large heatsink included. AMD Socket AM5 will be the first platform to feature CPU-attached PCIe Gen 5 M.2 slots, which goes on sale by late-September. The first PCIe Gen 5 NVMe SSDs, according to AMD, should be here by November.

The IRDM gaming brand, meeting the expectations of gamers and PC builders, introduces new white DRAM memory modules, which are distinguished by red details and marking of heat sinks. The IRDM PRO DDR4 Crimson White series is a response to the growing interest in PC sets made of white components. The latest modules in the IRDM portfolio are characterized by a frequency of 3600 MHz with timings 18-22-22 and a voltage of 1.35 V. The offer includes single modules with capacities of 8 and 16 GB, as well as the increasingly popular Dual Channel 16 and 32 GB sets.

IRDM PRO DDR4 Crimson White is a memory designed for gamers, enthusiasts and users expecting fast and stable operation of their computer set. The memories are based on an 8-layer white PCB and selected Samsung D-Die memory chips. The whole module is enclosed in a stylish white heat sink with a distinctive crimson IRDM brand logo.

The IRDM PRO M.2 PCIe gen 4 x4 SSD model is the fastest data storage device in the IRDM SSD line. The latest IRDM PRO M.2 SSD mass storage device is equipped with a high-speed PCIe 4 x4 NVMe interface. This solution enables twice the speed compared to 3 x4 generation products. Maximum read and write speeds of 7000 MB/s and 6850 MB/s respectively, provide excellent performance and stability. An additional DRAM buffer of up to 2 GB contributes to the performance, ensuring that the drive remains stable even under heavy load.

The controller of the whole system is PS5018-E18, which is a technologically advanced model supplied by one of the best and most experienced manufacturers in the market, namely Phison. The eight-channel E18 controller is based on ARM Cortex R5 architecture and is also compatible with the latest version of the NVMe protocol, which is 1.4. The newly introduced IRDM PRO drive is available in three capacities - 1, 2 and 4 TB. This is a response to the diverse needs of users of this type of products - from everyday solutions to professional applications, such as working with 3D modeling and animation or rendering images.

The Polish brand of commercial and industrial memory products is expanding the offer of industrial DDR4 memory modules with another model.
DDR4 SODIMM with the part number GR4S32G320D8I is a memory with a capacity of 32 GB and a speed of 3200 MHz, which allows it to be successfully used in embedded systems with a high demand for computing power. Such requirements are reported, among others, by cloud solutions, virtualization, and AI. The compact form factor of SODIMM modules allows to use an exceptionally large RAM capacity (up to 2x 32 GB) in systems based on the smallest motherboards from the ITX family (nano, pico, and micro - ITX). The DDR4 GR4S32G320D8I is intended to operate in a wide temperature range. This means the memories are designed to work in applications exposed to variable environmental conditions between -40°C and +85°C. The manufacturer also offers a version of the module for the range from 0 to +85°C.

The latest IRDM modules are designed for gamers and professionals to provide not only an aesthetic experience, but also high performance. Each module is equipped with 8 LEDs and is compatible with RGB lighting control software from leading motherboard manufacturers such as ASUS, MSI, GIGABYTE, and ASRock. This ensures that the lighting effects can be programmed in many different ways, resulting in the ability to synchronize with other RGB devices like the motherboard, computer case, cooling system, keyboard, headphones, or computer mouse. Initially, the modules will be available for sale in the currently most popular kit of 2x 8 GB 3600 MHz, but the manufacturer announces that products with other specifications will soon be added to the series.

IRDM RGB DDR4 modules are built from carefully selected components and Micron memory chips. The 3600 MHz frequency at 18-22-22 timings ensures fast and stable operation of the modules, while the black heatsink built from a combination of aluminium, silicon, and magnesium perfectly dissipates heat, even during intensive use. "We are handing our customers a product that has been long-awaited and desired on the market. We are convinced that the parameters of the new IRDM memory will be appreciated by the most demanding users, especially gamers, case modders, and enthusiasts of computer sets with RGB lighting. We wanted to provide the best product in terms of both technical characteristics and a timeless design", says Wiesław Wilk, the CEO of Wilk Elektronik SA.

The HX100 SSD is the second external SSD from GOODRAM, which follows in the footsteps of the previous HL100 model. The new HX100 offers even better performance and speed enclosed in an ergonomic housing. The drive is equipped with TLC NAND Flash technology and provides convenient storage and data transfer. The device, which supports the USB 3.2 gen. 2 standard, will ideally serve as an additional external memory for consoles, laptops, and computers.

SSD HX100 offers read and write speeds of up to 950 MB/s and 900 MB/s respectively. The drive is available in capacities of: 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB, so it will be perfect both for personal and business purposes. The drive should be convenient especially for those console owners who need an easy way to increase the storage space for their favorite games, but they are not planning to replace their device with a next generation console.

It's been a while since we've had a post on a Goodram product at TechPowerUp, with the company's releases mainly falling off the radar. However, the company's new PX500 series of NVMe SSDs are being positioned as value options in the segment, whilst being quoted with some respectable transfer speeds - provided you don't acquire the lowest capacity version. Available in 256 GB, 512 GB and 1 TB capacities, the Goodram PX500 are DRAM-less SSDs driven by Silicon Motion's SMI 2263XT controller.

Quoted numbers for the 256 GB version stand at 1,850 MB/s sequential read, 950 MB/s sequential write, 102,000 IOPS 4K random read and 230,000 IOPS 4K random write. The 512 GB version posts 2,000 MB/s, 1,600 MB/s, 173,000 IOPS and 140,000 IOPS in the same performance metrics, while the 1 TB version maxes out at 2,050 MB/s, 1650 MB/s, 240,000 IOPS and 280,000 IOPS, respectively. The Goodram PX500 series of NVMe SSDs are backed by a three-year warranty, and prices have not yet been announced.

Performance, speed, reliability and last but not least, a decent price are the most sought-after characteristics of every SSD from the user standpoint. Following these criteria, Polish manufacturer of memory modules and SSDs has just launched an all-new lineup for their in-house manufactured SSDs named GOODRAM SSD C Series.

On the occasion of Goodram brand 10th anniversary, Wilk Elektronik SA the company behind the brand, has just launched an all-new lineup of Goodram SSD drives. Goodram SSD C Series are consumer-grade drives dedicated for demanding users who are looking for a combination of performance and value.
