Toshiba Enterprise 12Gb SAS SSD at 1.6TB

The storage products business unit of Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. announces a new enterprise read-intensive solid state drive (eSSD), the PX03SN.

Designed to support a range of read-intensive applications, the PX03SN is available in capacities of up to 1.6TB and supports one full drive write per day.

The new 2.5-inch form factor SAS interface eSSD is designed for read-intensive applications, server storage and caching applications, and storage systems where customers are looking for a balance between cost, endurance and performance.

Optimized for read-intensive, read-caching, and low-duty storage applications, the newest addition to the eSSD family features a 12Gb SAS interface.

“Toshiba gives customers a ‘one stop shop’ capability for their storage requirements, including both SSDs and HDDs for customers’ mobile and enterprise needs,” said Don Jeanette, senior director of marketing at Toshiba storage products business unit. “We are seeing increasing demand for eSSDs that offer a SAS interface and meet customers’ endurance and price requirements without sacrificing performance.”

The PX03SN 200/400/800GB and 1.6TB samples will begin shipping this month.
