Intel SSD 660p based on QLC 3D NAND

10.08.2018

Intel introduced the Intel SSD 660p, its first QLC 3D NAND-based solid-state storage solution for the consumer market.

QLC technology, or Quad-Level Cell, provides for the storage of four bits of information in one cell. Due to this, the data storage density increases by 33% compared to TLC (Triple-Level Cell) NAND products, which contain three bits of information per cell.

The Intel 660p series includes three models - with a capacity of 512 GB, as well as 1 TB and 2 TB. The products rely on the Silicon Motion SMI 2263 controller. The drives are in M.2 2280 format (22 x 80 mm); the PCI-Express 3.0 x4 interface is used.

The younger version will cost about $100. The 1TB and 2TB versions cost $200 and $400, respectively, making the Intel SSD 660p the most affordable NVMe drive available.

Despite the use of four-bit memory, the manufacturer gives a five-year warranty on new drives. At the same time, the amount of rewriting, within which the warranty operates, is 100 TB for the 512 GB model and 200 TB for the two older versions.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Electronic helmet for truck drivers 14.04.2024

Road safety, especially for drivers of heavy construction equipment, is a top priority for engineers and scientists. In light of this, the German Fraunhofer Institute for Structural Strength and System Reliability has introduced a new product - an electronic helmet, which is designed to protect drivers from serious injury when driving construction vehicles. A new electronic helmet developed by a team of engineers from the Fraunhofer Institute opens up new perspectives for the safety of truck and construction equipment drivers. The device is capable of monitoring the level of shaking in the car cabin and warning the driver of possible danger. The basis of the helmet's operation is a built-in piezoelectric sensor, which generates electricity during physical deformation. This mechanism allows the device to respond to intense vibrations typical of construction equipment. When the level of deformation exceeds safe values, an alarm system is activated on the helmet, ... >>

Antivitamins instead of antibiotics 13.04.2024

The problem of bacterial resistance to antibiotics is becoming increasingly serious, posing a threat to the effective treatment of infections. In light of this, researchers are looking for new ways to combat superbugs. One of the promising directions is the use of antivitamins that can have an antibacterial effect. Antivitamins, although known as the opposite of vitamins, have proven to be a promising tool in the fight against bacterial antibiotic resistance. A study conducted by scientists from the University of Göttingen in Germany confirmed their potential in creating new drugs to combat dangerous infections. With the rise of antibiotic-resistant superbugs, there is a need to find alternative treatments. Antivitamins are molecules similar to vitamins, but capable of inhibiting bacterial activity without harm to the human body. At the moment, science knows only three antivitamins: rose ... >>

Army Night Vision Goggles ENVG-B 05.05.2021

Newly developed by the US military, the ENVG-B night vision device combines computer vision, white phosphor tubes and a binocular design. The glasses can be used during the day in fog and smoke, and the image through them is extremely clear, bright and close to real.

Traditional night vision devices are a monocular with a green phosphor tube. The image clarity of these devices is such that the observer has to think out a lot on his own, which is highly undesirable in combat and extreme conditions. Therefore, by order of the military, new night vision devices were developed, which not only increased the clarity of the image, but also brought binocular vision to the device, which makes it possible to navigate much better in the environment and better estimate the distance to the target.

The ENVG-B uses white phosphor tubes to bring the colors in the image closer to reality, as well as a computer system that draws the contour of the observed objects. All together creates a picture in which everything or almost everything is clear. The new development is also lighter than traditional night vision devices, but still heavier than conventional binoculars (ENVG-B weight is about 900 g), therefore it is attached to the fighter's helmet and can be folded back.

Going forward, the US military is looking to get night vision goggles in the form of sunglasses.
