Düsseldorf, Germany, 22nd May, 2013 – Toshiba – the inventor of NAND Flash memory -
has announced full European availability of its latest Enterprise-class PX02SMx SSDs (solid
state drives) and MG03xxxx HDDs (hard disk drives). These storage devices are ideal for a
wide range of business-critical server and storage platforms as well as private cloud storage
infrastructures.
PX02SMx enterprise SSDs (eSSD) utilize cost-effective 24nm eMLC (enterprise multi-level
cell) NAND technology and are available with capacities of 200GB1 (PX02SMF020), 400GB
(PX02SMF040), 800GB (PX02SMF080) and 1.6TB (PX02SMB160). The drives feature a
dual-port 12Gb/sec SAS interface and support Cryptographic erase. Furthermore, the
eSSDs incorporate Toshiba’s proprietary Quadruple Swing-By Code (QSBC™) for improved
error correction and reliability.
Toshiba’s HDDs are supplied in a 3.5 inch (8.9 cm) form factor, have been designed to
accommodate 24/7 operation and can be supplied with Toshiba’s Enhanced Secure
Cryptographic Erase feature. The MG03ACAx series is equipped with a SATA interface and
1. One Gigabyte (1GB) means 109 = 1,000,000,000 bytes. One Terabyte (1TB) means 1012 = 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 1TB = 240 = 1,099,511,627,776 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 and
other factors.
