The well-known company Plextor, known for its high-quality CD/DVD drives, recorders, and SSDs, is disappearing from the market. It will be replaced by the new brand Solid State Storage Technology (SSSTC), which will mainly focus on the professional segment. The offerings of the new brand will include storage devices designed for corporate, data center, and industrial applications.
Kioxia, whose memory division acquired the Plextor brand, has made the decision to abandon this legendary brand in favor of SSSTC. The new brand will not produce consumer products, but instead will concentrate on delivering media for demanding professionals.
Plextor has not released any new products for several years, and the lack of introduction of PCI-Express 4.0 or even 5.0 media has confirmed suspicions about the brand’s discontinuation. The closure of the GoPlextor.com website and the redirection of the Plextor.com site to SSSTC.com are further evidence of the disappearance of the legendary Plextor from the market.
