Toshiba: SSD A100 Entry SSDs

2.5-inch/7mm, 6Gb SATA, 15nm flash, 120 and 240GB

Toshiba Europe GmbH (TEG), Storage Peripherals division, has introduced entry internal 2.5″/7mm SSDs that allow users to upgrade storage capacity and system performance.

Featuring 15nm flash memory technology, the SSD A100 drives reduce power consumption, improve system responsiveness, shorten boot times and operate silently compared to conventional HDDs.

Available in 240 and 120GB capacities, the SSD A100 drives combine 3-bit-per-cell 15nm flash memory with company’s controller and SLC cache technology.

The drives are for personal or office users looking to upgrade their PCs to a more responsive, power-efficient, shock-resistant solid-state internal HDD.

Firm’s SLC write cache advanced speed technology optimises processing speed to deliver random read and write performance of up to 87,000 IO/s and 82,000 IO/s respectively. Sequential read speeds are 550MB/s and sequential write speeds are up to 480MB/s. A backward-compatible SATA III interface is rated for maximum data transfer rates of 6Gb/s.

The A100 SSDs offer support for native command queuing, S.M.A.R.T. and TRIM (requiring OS support).

MTTF ratings for A100 models are 1,500,000 hours.

The drives will be available from October.
