Before the press conference, Xu Zhang, SVP, Longsys, took the guests on a tour of the storage history museum and showed the development history of the storage sector: from keeping records by tying knots in ancient times to the adoption of modern PCs, mobile phones, etc. It recognizes the application of storage in various fields and has witnessed the growing storage capacity in an increasingly smaller size.

Product release kicked off
The conference started with Mr. Huabo Cai’s introduction about the development and values of Longsys, as well as an analysis on the global storage sector – given the notable changes in DRAM and NAND flash industries in 20 years, dozens of foreign companies have joined the competition, but only 5 or 6 leading companies survived in 2011.

Next, Wan took the stage to make a speech. He said that despite the changing international landscape, what is constant is that stellar companies often concentrate on the products. Consumers will make wise choices as long as there are excellent products.

Colorful has been involved in the DIY market for over 2 decades, and is the ≠1 selling brand of graphics card products for 17 consecutive years. On the other hand, Longsys is a technically advanced company with 21 years of experience in storage.

After that, Jordan Zhong, head, SSD business unit, Longsys, shared the technology of SSD products. Longsys Mini SDP (SATA Disk in Package) encapsulates the main control, flash memory and peripheral circuit into one. Its size is one-tenth of a traditional SSD, and features proof vs. shock and water.

Jerry Tsao, vice GM, storage unit, Colorful, introduced the company. In the past 2 decades, the firm has evolved from a computer component dealer into an enterprise integrating independent R&D, independent production, brand, and sales.

In 2015, it expanded the storage product line. Since then, all products in the computer DIY sector have been developed, including the firm’s graphics cards, motherboards, SSDs, memories, and Segotep power adapters and computer cases.

SL500 Mini
Traditional SSD cooperation model is adopted for SL500 Mini. Longsys provides technology and products, and Colorful offers brand and services.

It adopts Longsys customized high-performance main control, and Micron QLC N28 flash particles. QLC particles are used because it features a single die capacity of at least 128GB, which can realize large-capacity storage within the dimensions of 33.4×17.2×1.23mm.

In terms of product performance, the 240GB product offers read and write speeds of up to 550MB/s and 445MB/s, respectively; while for the 480GB product, the figures are 560 MB/s and 480MB/s, respectively.

The 2 companies forged cooperation in 2013. At that time, eMMC used for Colorful tablets were produced by Longsys.

In 2017, Colorful cooperated with Longsys again in SSD product line.

In 2019, the company launched iGame graphics card product with a display on the radiator, which has Longsys’ embedded NAND flash product. It brings new technology experience to game players.

Longsys will foster cooperation with Colorful going forward. It is believed that through concerted efforts of both parties, better storage products will appear.
