OCP Global Summit: Toshiba Unveils 2.5-Inches XD5 Series NVMe Up to 3,8TB SSD With 64-Layer BiCS Flash TLC and PCIe Gen3x4 Interface

Up to 2,700 MB/s and 895MB/s sequential RW speeds, 250,000/21,000 IO/s random R/W performance

Toshiba Memory America, Inc., U.S.-based subsidiary of Toshiba Memory Corporation, announced availability of its XD5 Series NVMe SSD platform in a 2.5-inch (1), 7mm low-profile form factor for low-latency and performance consistency in read-intensive workloads.

Developed for both data center and cloud environments, the 2.5-inch form factor XD5 Series is for NoSQL databases, large-scale-out data mining and analysis, and streaming applications, and also for Open Compute Project (OCP) applications and systems.

Built on 64-layer BiCS FLASH TLC (3-bit-per-cell) 3D flash memory, and featuring a PCIe Gen3x4 interface, the XD5 SSD 2.5-inch option delivers sequential read performance up to 2,700 MB/s and sequential write performance up to 895MB/s with low active power consumption of 7W (3). At one drive write per day (4) (DWPD), the XD5 Series can write nearly 4TB of random data daily for five years at a consistent performance rate. Random R/W performance is specified at 250,000/21,000 IO/s (3) respectively, making the XD5 Series a reliable solution for read-intensive or heavy transactional workloads.

The XD5 2.5-inch Series expands the company’s broad data center SSD portfolio and complements the previously released M.2 22100 form factor which supports 1,920 and 3,840GB capacities (2). The flash memory and controllers leveraged within the XD5 Series offer reliability, data protection, end-to-end error detection and power-loss protection, and the product is backed by a 5-year limited warranty.

Today’s scale-out data centers address a range of dynamic workloads and require highly reliable, low-power solutions that are able to deliver consistent application performance,” said Neville Ichhaporia, senior director, data center and client SSD, marketing, Toshiba Memory America. “With the addition of the power-optimized XD5 2.5-inch solution in a 7mm profile, we continue to round out our broad NVMe portfolio to enable the cloud data center market with a variety of solutions to suit most every need.

The company’s PCIe NVMe SSDs are designed for multiple enterprise and data center workload profiles and include the XD5 Series, the CD5 Series and the CM5 Series, which help customers address their demanding data environments and realize the most value from their flash storage. The key specifications for this portfolio include the following:

The company has showcased its XD5 2.5-inch SSDs, as well as its complete lineup of data center SSDs, at OCP Global Summit, San Jose, CA.

XD5 2.5-inch drives are sampling to select customers and scheduled for availability in 2Q19.

(1) 2.5-inch is the form factor of HDDs and SSDs and does not indicate the drive’s physical size.
(2) Definition of capacity: Toshiba Memory Corporation defines 1MB as 1,000,000 bytes, 1GB as 1,000,000,000 bytes and 1TB as 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. A computer OS, however, reports storage capacity using powers of two for the definition of 1GB = 230B = 1,073,741,824B, 1TB = 240B = 1,099,511,627,776B 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 OS, and/or pre-installed software applications, or media content. Actual formatted capacity may vary.
(3) Read and write speed may vary depending on the host devices, read and write conditions, and file size.
(4) One full Drive Write per Day (DWPD) means that the drive can be written and re-written to full capacity once a day, every day, for five years (or the stated product warranty period).  Actual results may vary due to system configuration, usage and other factors.
