Kioxia reportedly kills off 30-year-old Plextor brand — icon of the optical drive days spins up its last SSD

Plextor.

Plextor is one of the legendary names in client PC storage and has been associated with high quality and performance for nearly three decades. But it looks like Kioxia thinks differently, as it has decided to shut down the Plextor brand for SSDs and use the Solid State Storage Technology (SSSTC) trademark instead, according to a report by HKEPC. SSSTC will focus solely on drives for enterprise, datacenter, and industrial applications.

The GoPlextor.com website has already been shutdown, and Plextor.com leads to SSSTC.com — which only lists products for enterprise, datacenter, and industrial applications and no longer lists consumer SSDs.
