Chinese tech giant Lenovo will introduce a range of consumer solid-state drives following a new partnership with BIWIN, a memory and storage manufacturer best known for producing products for brands such as HP and Acer.
As a result of this new collaboration, BIWIN will produce Lenovo-branded SSDs, with PCIe Gen4, PCIe Gen3, SATA II and portable drives in the initial line of four products. Yes, we're a little disappointed to not see PCIe 5.0 or USB4 SSDs included, but they will certainly be considered for the second wave of products.
The Lenovo SSD series includes the LN960 M.2, which is designed for multimedia and intensive applications. With read/write speeds of up to 7400 MB/s /6500 MB/s, the LN960 uses a PCIe Gen 4 x 4 4-channel NVMe 2.0 controller. The LN960 is available in capacities from 512GB to 4TB.
Portable storage too
Meanwhile, the LN860 M.2 offers fast speeds and low power consumption, making it ideal for active users. The LN860 offers sequential read/write speeds of up to 3500 MB/s /3000 MB/s, thanks to its 4-channel PCIe Gen 3 x 4 controller and NVMe 1.4. It is available in capacities from 256 GB to 2 TB.
For mainstream PCs, the LS800 2.5″ SATA III offers improved reliability and speed. It uses a high-performance controller and SATA 3.0 to deliver sequential read/write speeds of up to 520 MB/s / 500 MB/s. Capacities vary from 240 GB to 1920 GB.
Finally, the LP600 USB 3.2, launching in Q2 2024, offers portable storage with capacities from 512GB to 4TB and speeds up to 2,000MB/s for read/write.
There's no word yet on pricing or availability for either unit, but with Lenovo and BIWIN involved, you can expect them to be competitively priced when they arrive.
