Kingston Digital KC3000 Solid State Drive

30.10.2021

Kingston Digital introduced the KC3000 solid state drive. This is an M.2 form factor drive equipped with PCIe 4.0 x4 interface and supporting NVMe protocol. It is designed for desktop PCs and laptops. The drive is equipped with a low-profile graphene and aluminum heat spreader that helps maintain acceptable operating temperatures even under high load.

The drive uses a Phison E18 controller and 3D TLC NAND flash memory. The drive is offered with a capacity of 512 GB, 1, 2 and 4 TB. The sequential write speed of the first two options reaches 3900 and 6000 MB/s, respectively, the rest - 7000 MB/s. The sequential read speed in all cases reaches 7000 MB / s.

Performance on read and write operations with random access in the case of a 512 GB drive reaches 450 and 00 IOPS, in the case of a 900 TB drive - 000 and 1 IOPS, respectively. For drives with a capacity of 900 and 000 TB, a value of 1 IOPS is declared for both modes.

The 512 GB SSD resource, according to Kingston Digital, is 400 TBW, 1 TB - 800 TBW, 2 TB - 1,6 PBW, 4 TB - 3,2 PBW. The drives come with a five-year warranty.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Ideal street lamp 28.04.2013

A team of researchers from Taiwan and Mexico has developed an LED lantern that illuminates the street really perfectly: without shadow spots, with a minimum of light pollution and electricity consumption.

Street lights are a familiar element of the urban landscape, but they make a negative contribution to the environment: they create light pollution, consume a lot of energy, and in addition to all this, they illuminate the streets poorly - they leave unlit areas on the roads and streets. The latest advances in LED lighting have largely solved the problems of energy efficiency, but still a significant part of the light from street lamps does not go where it should. Light pollution problems exist in all large cities: night light interferes with birds, insects, plants, shines through bedroom windows and illuminates the stars, depriving us of the pleasure of admiring the starry sky.

The new LED system solves this problem. It provides uniform illumination of a specific section of the street at low energy costs. Usually street lights are placed in a checkerboard pattern along the streets and freeways. This limits the freedom to place the poles and also creates shadow patches that can only be avoided by installing more lanterns. The new lantern can be adjusted to any contour of the site, for example, it can illuminate only a rectangle of a road, a square of a parking lot, or any other surface shape. At the same time, the optical utilization factor (OUF, the ratio of the emitted light and the luminous flux on the object) of the new lamp reaches 51-81%. For comparison: in the best modern street lamps, OUF does not exceed 45%, that is, most of the light "flies" anywhere, and not to the desired object.

The main feature of the new flashlight is an unusual design. The luminaire consists of three LED clusters, each with a special total internal reflection (TIR) lens. This lens focuses light so that the beams are parallel to each other. This process is called collimation. These lenses send maximum light onto the subject, while an additional diffuser eliminates glare and further reduces light pollution. The combination of collimator and diffuser also allows you to customize the shape of the light spot, for example, for a freeway it will be a rectangle. These light rectangles are easy to connect to perfectly illuminate the road: without dark areas and glare.
