Toshiba MLC SSD Family
Delivering the Performance, Endurance, Capacity & Reliability for a Wide Range of Applications

Toshiba was one of the first companies to enter the solid state market drive with a family of products based on multi-level cell (MLC) NAND technology. Toshiba's 43nm SSDs utilize an advanced MLC controller that achieves high read/write speeds, parallel data transfers and wear-leveling to optimize performance, reliability and endurance. With a maximum sequential read speed of 230MB per second (MBps)2 and a maximum sequential write speed of 180MBps, the drives provide fast boot and application loading times. In addition, AES data encryption is offered to prevent unauthorized data access.

A new SG series uses the latest generation 32nm NAND flash in mSATA and Half-Slim modules, which provide greater design flexibility and save space and cost compared to SSDs with hard disk drive form factors and cases. The 62GB module is only one seventh the volume and one eighth the weight of a 2.5-inch form factor SSD, and consumes half the power. With interface speeds up to 3 gigabits per second (Gb/s)1 a maximum sequential read speed of 180 megabytes per second (MBps)2 and a maximum sequential write speed of 70MBps,2 the modules will help bring the performance advantages of SSDs to notebooks, portable electronics and embedded systems.

MLC SSD Whitepaper
MLC NAND enables higher capacity SSDs in small form factors and provides the value/density advantages necessary to speed the acceptance of solid state storage in laptops and digital consumer products.
 

1 When used herein in relation to memory density, gigabyte and/or GB means 1,024x1,024x1,024 = 1,073,741,824 bytes. Usable capacity may be less. For details, please refer to applicable product specifications.

2 Read and write speed may vary depending on the read and write conditions, such as devices you use and file sizes you read and/or write. (For purposes of measuring write speed in this context, 1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes). *Target spec at 43nm.

3 For purposes of measuring read and write speed in this context, 1 Gigabit or Gb = 1,000,000,000 bits. Read and write speed may vary depending on the controller, read and write conditions, such as file sizes you read and/or write.

4 The (MTTF) Mean Time to Failure is not a guarantee or estimate of product life; it is a statistical value related to mean failure rates for a large number of products which may not accurately reflect actual operation. Actual operating life of the product may not resemble the MTTF
