Memory maker Transcend hopes to break their monthly shipping record of 9.96 million units in December 2008 this month by breaking the 10M mark! This is a very impressive feat given the tough economic times in this recession. Kudos to Transcend for giving companies that are hurting badly hope!

Memory-module maker Transcend Information stands a good chance of seeing monthly unit shipments break the 10 million mark this month, company sources have estimated. The company shipped 7.21 million memory modules in January, down 25.4% sequentially. Its strategic product line enjoyed the most significant growth in shipments last month, with an on-year increase of 64.4%, according to the company. Sales contributions from the strategic products, including digital photo frames, portable hard drives and digital music players, climbed to 15.9% in January, compared to single digits for previous months, the company said. In January, Transcend shipped 30,000 solid-state drives (SSDs), a company record, it added.
