TOSHIBA EXPANDS ENTERPRISE SOLID STATE DRIVE FAMILY WITH A NEW MODEL DESIGNED FOR WRITE INTENSIVE WORKLOADS

The PX02SS is optimized for online transaction processing

 

 

 

Today announces a new addition to its family of enterprise solid state drives (eSSD), the PX02SS. In capacities of up to 800GB[1], the new 2.5-inch form factor SAS interface eSSD is designed for various write-intensive enterprise applications and is ideally suited for large workloads, such as data processing and online transactions.
The PX02SS features a 12 Gb/second[2] SAS interface, and select models offer industry standard self-encrypting technology. With high transaction workloads in mind, the newest eSSD supports up to 30 full drive writes per day[3] for all available capacity points and has a layered error correction code (ECC) approach for improved reliability. The PX02SS underscores the breadth of Toshiba’s storage products, both SSDs and hard disk drives (HDDs) for mobile and enterprise markets, giving customers a “one stop shop” capability for their storage requirements.
“Toshiba’s unique integrated SSD design and manufacturing capability ensures that key components of the SSD, including NAND flash, are designed by Toshiba,” said Mr. Kashiwabara, Senior Manager of Marketing Sec., Toshiba Digital Media Network Taiwan Corporation. “Component and design commonality reduces qualification time for our customers and reflects Toshiba’s partner-driven approach to SSD design and manufacturing, helping our customers save time and money.”


[1]Definition of capacity: Toshiba defines a megabyte (MB) as 1,000,000 bytes, a gigabyte (GB) as 1,000,000,000 bytes and a terabyte (TB) as 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. A computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity using powers of 2 for the definition of 1GB = 230 = 1,073,741,824 bytes and therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity (including examples of various media files) will vary based on file size, formatting, settings, software and operating system, such as Microsoft Operating System and/or pre-installed software applications, or media content. Actual formatted capacity may vary.
[2]Read and write speed may vary depending on the host device, read and write conditions, and file size.
[3]Thirty full drive writes per day means the drive can be written and re-written to full capacity 30 times a day for five years, the stated product warranty period. Actual results may vary due to system configuration, usage and other factors.
