entered the Top SSD
Companies List in

was acquired by RunCore.

KingFast's current
SSD product line is mainly SATA SSDs for the following markets:-
consumer,
industrial,
enterprise and
military. |

| Hovering in the background
and influencing many seemingly incomprehensible product changes in 2016 will be
the apparently conflicting tensions between 2 primary Higgs boson-like SSD
forces:- an urge towards greater standardization, and, at the same time, an
urge towards greater customization.
