ZHITAI at COMPUTEX: Targeting Gamers and High-Performance Creators with Flagship SSD Launches Across the APAC Region

TAIPEI, June 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As the global SSD market welcomes a new era of diverse choices, ZHITAI, the consumer memory brand under YMTC, is expanding its Asia-Pacific footprint. During COMPUTEX 2026, ZHITAI will unveil three new-generation solid-state drives (SSDs), including the TiPro9000, TiPlus9100, and TiPlus7100s. All utilize YMTC's self-developed and patented core technology – "Xtacking®" architecture 3D NAND flash chips, to provide consumers with a stable and reliable experience along with ultra-fast performance.

Welcoming the New AI Era: ZHITAI Unveils Three New Products at COMPUTEX

At this year's COMPUTEX, ZHITAI unveiled its next-generation SSD lineup for the first time, introducing three new products: the flagship TiPro9000, the high-performance TiPlus9100, and the TiPlus7100s. In addition, ZHITAI has joined forces with ASUS to launch a range of co-branded SSD products, offering users a wider variety of choices.

The TiPro9000 is ZHITAI's first flagship PCIe 5.0 SSD, featuring an independent DRAM design coupled with an intelligent SLC caching mechanism. This significantly enhances SSD read/write and data transmission performance, pushing maximum read speeds up to 14,900 MB/s. Whether loading massive maps in AAA open-world games or editing 8K videos, it delivers full-throttle performance. Additionally, the TiPro9000 is equipped with a detachable heatsink and a single-sided chip layout, balancing highly efficient heat dissipation with installation flexibility, making it the ultimate choice for E-sports players and video creators.

For gamers who want to experience Gen5 high-speed performance, the TiPlus9100, the first PCIe 5.0 SSD product in the TiPlus series, is the ideal choice. It delivers a read performance of up to 12,000 MB/s. Combined with a single-sided PCB design and robust temperature control capabilities, it effectively mitigates the overheating vulnerabilities common to earlier PCIe 5.0 SSDs in thin and light devices, ensuring stable operation without throttling. Even during prolonged use under heavy workloads, it achieves a stable performance release without frequency drops. This allows users to fully immerse themselves in massive 3A games, live streaming, and 4K video editing. It is also perfectly suited for upgrading Ultrabooks and small-form-factor PCs.

The TiPlus7100s is ZHITAI's core SSD product for the PCIe 4.0 market. It reaches a maximum sequential read speed of up to 7,400 MB/s and adopts a single-sided chip layout, featuring low power consumption, low heat generation, and a long lifespan. It is ideal for upgrading older computers as well as expanding memory on gaming consoles such as the PS5. It is tailored to first-time SSD upgraders, casual gamers, and students. It is also suited to daily content creation and high-efficiency office use.

User-Centric Approach with a Strategic Focus on Growth in APAC

From its flagship TiPro9000 and high-end, high-performance TiPlus9100 to the TiPlus7100s that satisfies mass hardware upgrade demands, ZHITAI's varied product portfolio addresses the diverse needs of different users across gaming, professional creation, and everyday memory.

"The Asia-Pacific market is one of the key regions driving demand for high-performance memory upgrades," said Frank Fan, Head of Retail Business at YMTC. Fan noted that with the rapid development of AI applications, content creation, gaming entertainment, and high-performance PC scenarios, consumers' SSD demands are no longer limited to capacity. Instead, they are more focused on speed, stability, reliability, and long-term user experience.

"ZHITAI starts from user needs to pursue technological innovation that will deliver a more efficient, stable and reliable product experience," Fan emphasized. He noted that expanding across the Asia-Pacific region is a key strategic priority for ZHITAI. Starting from COMPUTEX, ZHITAI will progressively expand to other markets, including South Korea and Singapore, bringing its portfolio of high-performance memory products to more consumers across the region. Fan also said that ZHITAI will continually improve its sales channels and localized services in the region so that more users can enjoy the wonderful experience brought by its high-quality memory products.

ZHITAI at COMPUTEX: Targeting Gamers and High-Performance Creators with Flagship SSD Launches Across the APAC Region

• Udon Kaden's two signature dishes — Signature Udon and Chilled Udon — launch in the U.S.
• Available at H Mart, Jagalchi, Mega Mart and other retail partners, and online at Kurlyglobal.com
• Chef Jung Ho Young will host in-store tastings at four California stores on August 22–23

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Kurly, the premium Korean food company bringing the country's most-loved foods to American consumers, announced the U.S. launch of two frozen udon dishes from Udon Kaden, the beloved Seoul noodle house of chef Jung Ho Young. The launch expands Kurly's line of chef-restaurant frozen meals in the American market.

The two products recreate the flavors of Kaden's best-known menu items for the home kitchen: Signature Udon, a warm bowl built on a clear, deeply savory dashi, and Chilled Udon, its cold, no-broth counterpart.

Jung is one of Korea's most recognizable Japanese-cuisine chefs, familiar to audiences from Netflix's "Culinary Class Wars" Season 2 and the long-running "Chef & My Fridge." After earning his footing in Japanese restaurants in Korea, he trained at the Tsuji Culinary Institute in Osaka, then returned to open the izakaya Kaden and, later, Udon Kaden. He has spent more than 20 years cooking Japanese food.

Udon Kaden built its reputation on two things: noodles with a taut, bouncy bite, and a broth of kombu, anchovy and smoked mackerel flakes. The restaurant has drawn steady lines in Seoul for nearly a decade, and today operates locations in Seoul's Yeonhui-dong neighborhood and on Jeju Island.

Signature Udon pairs fresh-frozen udon noodles with a broth modeled on the restaurant's dashi, finished with bonito flakes. The noodles boil in 8 to 9 minutes while the broth heats separately in 1 to 2 — assemble, and the bowl is done. Chilled Udon takes the opposite path: a concentrated dashi-rich sauce, grated radish and toppings poured over cold noodles, trading the comfort of hot soup for a chewier bite and a denser hit of umami.

Both dishes arrive with a track record. In Korea, where the products launched first on Kurly's marketplace, Signature Udon (sold there as Original Udon) has drawn nearly 20,000 customer reviews, and the Udon Kaden line's combined product page has accumulated more than 50,000.

The launch extends a playbook Kurly has refined in Korea since 2017: working directly with chefs and restaurants to turn their signature menus into frozen meals. Kurly USA previously introduced Mokran, the Chinese-cuisine brand of chef Lee Yeon Bok, and is broadening the lineup with Udon Kaden and Yun Seoul, from chef Kim Do Yun.

To mark the launch, Chef Jung will host in-store tastings across California on August 22–23 — in Southern California at H Mart Buena Park and H Mart Irvine NorthPark, and in Northern California at Jagalchi in Daly City and Mega Mart in East Palo Alto.

"Udon Kaden is a defining example of what we do: a chef's recipe and a restaurant's identity, thoughtfully recreated as a frozen meal," said Ryan Chung, Head of Global Business at Kurly. "Starting with Asian grocery retailers, we will keep widening the places where American consumers can bring Korea's chefs and restaurant brands into their everyday cooking."

Signature Udon and Chilled Udon are available at H Mart and other participating retailers, and online at Kurlyglobal.com. Online delivery areas and stock may vary by address and time of order.

About Kurly

Kurly is a premium Korean food company that discovers and introduces the country's most trusted food brands, beloved restaurants, and chef collaborations. On its marketplace in Korea, Kurly pioneered the category of restaurant meals recreated for the home freezer, working with chefs and restaurants since 2017 to bring their signature menus into home kitchens — including Mokran by chef Lee Yeon Bok, which has sold more than 7 million units, Udon Kaden by chef Jung Ho Young, and Yun Seoul by chef Kim Do Yun. Kurly USA brings a curated selection of these proven products to the American market, alongside Korean beauty and lifestyle goods — from Mokran's jjajangmyeon and jjamppong to Yun Seoul's perilla-oil noodles.
