Kingston To Cut Prices of NAND Flash-Based Products
Memory industry major Kingston is working towards reducing prices of its
products that are based on NAND flash memory. This includes a large
chunk of Kingston's product portfolio, as the only products excluded
would be DRAM. NAND flash-based products include memory cards, USB flash
drives, and SSDs. Kingston will reportedly cut prices by as much as 15
percent. Responding to a DigiTimes report, Kingston said that it is
adjusting its NAND flash product pricing to coordinate with the rest of
the industry to shift towards more advanced processes, and that it wants
to enhance its presence in the NAND flash market. In other words,
Kingston is clearing its inventory to make way for newer, more advanced
technology.

Kingston Technology Adds HyperX Red, New Look for LoVo Memory
Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in
memory products, today announced the launch of HyperX Red Limited
Edition Memory and a new look for HyperX LoVo low-voltage modules. These
memory modules have a new look and are designed for PC modders, system
builders and entry-level gamers looking to push the performance
envelope.
HyperX Red Limited Edition has a sleek and aggressive look that provides a stylish accent to any motherboard or desktop computer in which it is installed. HyperX Red is Intel XMP ready and is available in 8 GB kits and 4 GB single modules at 1600 MHz and 1333 MHz, in both 1.65v and 1.5v. With the ease of installation and HyperX reliability, these new modules meet the needs of consumers and gamers alike who seek higher performance via faster speeds and larger capacities.
Kingston has also redesigned the look of its HyperX LoVo low-voltage modules. The new streamlined HyperX LoVo will remain in its standard green color but with a heatspreader similar to the HyperX Genesis. HyperX LoVo consumes less power and reduces heat thus requiring less fan speed to create a cool and quiet machine. Running at 1600 MHz at 1.35 v or 1333 MHz at 1.25 v, it is perfect for Intel's mini-ITX 'Apple Glen' motherboards, AMD's Llano platform and "always on" home theater PCs or home media servers. HyperX LoVo is available in 8 GB and 4 GB kits of two.
"The enthusiast community knows the HyperX brand is synonymous with high speed, high quality and stylish design," said Mark Tekunoff, senior technology manager, Kingston. "The new HyperX Red and the updated look of LoVo are great additions to our HyperX family. We have high-performance memory solutions to meet the specific needs of everyone from the entry-level gamer to the seasoned professional."

Kingston Digital Introduces New Ultra-Secure DataTraveler 6000 USB Flash Drive
Kingston Digital, Inc., the Flash memory affiliate of Kingston
Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory
products, today announced the DataTraveler 6000 (DT6000) USB Flash
drive, which protects sensitive data with Federal Information Processing
Standard (FIPS) 140-2 Level 3 Validation and 100-percent encryption.
For financial service organizations and government agencies that need
the strongest data protection in mobile storage device, the DT6000 meets data-at-rest regulations and is the most secure USB Flash drive available on the market.
The Kingston DT6000 utilizes patented Secured by Spyrus technology which supports 256-bit AES hardware-based encryption using XTS block cipher mode. XTS is current generation technology that provides much stronger protection than other block cipher modes such as CBC and ECB. The DT6000 uses ‘military-grade’ elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), which is recommended by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) as part of its Suite B set of cryptographic algorithms.
Organizations spend millions of dollars annually on network security to thwart hackers and other outsider threats. A recent study by the Ponemon Institute highlighted that nearly half of organizations surveyed lost sensitive or confidential information on USB drives over the last two years, and that on average 12,000 customer records per organization were lost. For many organizations, steps to protect data on portable devices remain unimplemented for a variety of reasons despite the risks in using unsecured drives in the workplace. Frequent news stories show that security breaches associated with USBs are more often the result of negligence (lost drives) and a lack of security policy, education and enforcement rather than malicious intent. In other words, having an unencrypted USB drive is a potential data breach in one’s pocket.
“While enterprises and government agencies need to be able to provide remote and mobile employees access to sensitive and confidential data, establishing security policies and deploying USB products that prevent data loss is as important and immediate as an organization’s network security,” said John Terpening, Secure USB business manager, Kingston. “Using non-secure USB drives makes organizations vulnerable to data loss and breaches that can affect the company’s credibility with its employees, customers and partners. The DT6000 is the most secure USB Flash drive available and will meet the most stringent corporate or government requirements.”
While other companies concentrate on security around cloud-based services, Kingston keeps its focus on the hardware security side. Our longstanding relationships with controller and NAND Flash suppliers as well as global distribution capabilities ensure a steady supply of products to meet customer needs. Evaluation samples are readily available to potential customers. Along with the DT6000, Kingston has an extensive family of secure DataTraveler USB Flash drives to match the security needs for all levels of enterprises:

Kingston Showcases Next Generation of Products
The name Kingston should be familiar with the vast majority of you reading this article since they have been a premier manufacturer of memory and flash-based products for as long as many can remember. Recently, they have also jumped onto the solid state drive bandwagon as well.
During this CES, Kingston is showcasing a number of upcoming and current products which mostly focus upon the quickly expanding storage market. With USB 3.0 and SATA 6 coming into the limelight, 2011 will feature a large number of devices from nearly every sector which takes advantage of these two technologies. As usual, Kingston will have these two standards completely covered but most products featuring them will only be available later this year and weren’t on display. However, that’s not to say that Kingston didn’t have anything interesting to show.
One of Kingston’s current focuses is to incorporate all of their upcoming enthusiast products under one general name called HXperience. This naturally includes their upcoming Sandforce-based SATA 6 drives as well as DataTraveller 3.0 flash drives and some overclocker-friendly memory modules.
Speaking of flash drives, Kingston has been rolling out the beta of a program they call URDrive. Basically, this is a simple file management program which runs on the drive and allows for easy access to all of your files. Since it incorporates its own video player and other built-in programs, it is completely OS-agnostic and can be run on any device in nothing is installed onto your system. An updated version will soon be released with yet more features, a virus scanner, media shows and the ability to support custom built applications through user generated content.
One of the more noteworthy items Kingston has been working on is a type of wireless storage device that can stream media or other files to sync’d devices. One of the best aspects of its design is that it doesn’t need an existing network in order to be recognized as a drive. Rather, wireless functionality is built directly into the device so it can easily be recognized as an attached storage device by other storage-starved products like tablets, smart phones and other products that support external drives. Initial capacities should be 32GB and 64GB with larger drives available later on.
Even though this highly compact next generation wireless NAS doesn’t have an official name yet, we can definitely see it having uses for a quickly expanding market.
Kingston also showcased their upcoming HyperX Genesis modules which use a new anodized grey heatsink design and will be considered a limited edition product. There will be two 4GB kits available for P67 boards: one operating at 2133Mhz at CL9 and another at 1600Mhz CL9. They will be priced at $149 and $70 respectively and support XMP technology as well.
