A look at DDR2, DDR3 and SSD Products At Cebit 2009

Tradeshow & OC events by thorgal @ 2009-03-11

Memory manufacturers were quite well represented this year at Cebit. SSD drives captured most of the spotlights at the memory manufacturers´ booths, but we did see a lot of interesting DDR3 products as well. Have a look at the most important memory products at Cebit 2009 in the following roundup.

Others

A-data

A-data had some new products on show as well. First is a very impressive 2133Mhz DDR (PC17000+) triple channel kit with included fan ensemble:

The kit looks very good, unfortunately it's not a low voltage kit, meaning that you'll have to exceed Intell's specifications to be able to run them on your Core i7 system.

A-data did have some of the most impressive SSD drives on show, with an amazing 512Gb capacity, as far as we know an industries first.

The 512Gb version is "coming soon", but the already impressive XPG 384Gb version is already available :

A strange sight : the Intel SSD drive on show at the A-data booth... we wonder what's behind this ?

Supertalent

Supertalent also tries to push their SSD lineup, they had a 128Gb drive on show:

Arctic Cooling

Finally, Arctic cooling had their own, new Ram Cooler on show as well. The Arctic "RC" (for Ram Cooler) is not fully developed yet, they're still deciding the exact hight they want to give to the cooler.

Of course, AC wouldn't be AC if they didn't bundle it with their own fan... It will be interesting to watch this product in the near future, especially the possible cooperations with memory manufacturers. A product like this without OEM support is not very likely to be popular due to compatibility and warranty issues with existing heatspreaders.

Thank you !

I'd like to thank some of the people we were able to meet at Cebit, as in many case it was a first time meeting or a chance to meet some people in real life after many years of working together.
Tobias and Tony from OCZ Technology
Gareth from Corsair Memory
Michael (or was that Michel ;-) ) from Mushkin Europe
Lili from G.Skill
Hank from Geil

Also make sure to check out our other Cebit coverage linked below, as this has been only a small portion of our visit. Thanks for reading, and see you soon.

More rebadges I guess? Kingston already sells them.

Comment from jmke @ 2009/03/12

but A-DATA also carries their own MLC product lineup?

Comment from Rutar @ 2009/03/12

I don't understand that Intel cannot use the same sales channels for their SSDs and CPUs. I expected them to overrun all other brands in availability (which matters a lot) due the fact that they are Intel. Someone has screwed up.

Nice find about Gskill still selling superior SLC SSDs.
