Its memory products include DRAM modules and components as well as high-bandwidth memory and CXL modules for data center memory expansion. The company also develops a wide range of data center, client and industrial SSDs.
Pliops
Pliops develops what it calls extreme data processors. These XDPs combine multiple data and storage technologies including a hardware-based storage engine, in-line transparent compression, RAID 5+ data protection, and built-in application integration into a single device that works with any server or SSD to improve application performance while cutting overall infrastructure cost.
Samsung
Samsung is one of the world’s largest producers of semiconductor components and products, including DRAM components and modules and SSDs for PC, data center, enterprise and consumer applications. The company is also a major provider of semiconductor foundry services. In addition, Samsung develops microprocessor, image sensor, display, security and power technologies.
ScaleFlux
ScaleFlux builds what it calls a “better SSD” by embedding computational storage technology into its flash drives. Its system-on-a-chip technology is behind the company’s Computational Storage Engine technology that embeds intelligent storage processing capabilities into NVMe SSDs, which the company says helps reduce data movement, enhance performance and improve efficiency.
Seagate Technology
Seagate manufactures external and internal SSDs and hard drives for cloud, edge, data center and personal storage. The company also develops integrated mass storage for business and personal use, including arrays and expansion devices for managed block storage and hybrid storage applications as well as the Lyve edge to cloud storage service.
Solidigm
Solidigm, founded when Korea-based SK hynix acquired Intel’s NAND and SSD business, is a major developer of SSDs for data center and client device use. Its data center SSD line ranges from standard-endurance SATA drives to high-end models with varying performance and capacity levels. Its consumer line includes both PCIe 3.0 and PCIe 4.0 NVME SSDs.
Western Digital
Western Digital has long been a leader in the development of hard drive, SSD, flash drive and memory card technologies, as well as NAS and other storage products. However, the company is currently in the process of separating into two independent, publicly traded companies by year end, one focused on hard drives and the other on flash storage.
