TOSHIBA MEMORY CORPORATION UNVEILS WORLD'S FIRST[1] ENTERPRISE SSDS UTILIZING 64-LAYER, 3D FLASH MEMORY

TOKYO, Aug 8 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Toshiba Memory Corporation, the world leader in memory solutions, today unveiled the development of the world’s first[1] enterprise SSDs utilizing 64-layer, 3D flash memory. The two new product lines, the PM5 12Gbit/s SAS series and the CM5 NVM Express™ (NVMe™) series, utilize Toshiba Memory Corporation’s BiCS FLASH™ 3D flash memory, allowing today’s demanding storage environments to expand the use of flash memory with cost-optimized 3D flash memory. With all-new, advanced feature-sets, the innovative PM5 and CM5 series raise the bar for performance capabilities and create new opportunities for businesses to leverage the power of flash storage.
 

Sample shipments to OEM customers for evaluation purposes start today in limited quantities, and Toshiba Memory Corporation will gradually increase shipments from the fourth quarter of this calendar year. The new products will be exhibited and demonstrated at the Flash Memory Summit 2017 in Santa Clara, California, USA from August 8 to 10, at Booth #407.

The PM5 series will be available in a 2.5-inch form factor in capacities from 400GB to 30.72TB[2], with endurance options of 1, 3, 5 and 10DWPD (drive writes per day). The broad endurance and capacity ranges of SAS SSDs will enable data centers to effectively address big data demands while streamlining storage deployments. With the industry’s first[3] MultiLink SASTM architecture, the PM5 series is able to deliver the fastest performance[4] the market has seen from any SAS-based SSD, with up to 3350MB/s[5] of sequential read and 2720MB/s of sequential write in MultiLink mode and 400,000 random read IOPS[6] in narrow or MultiLink mode. The PM5 series’ 4-port MultiLink design is an additional technology to achieve high performance, similar to PCI EXPRESS® (PCIe®) SSDs, enabling legacy infrastructures to increase productivity without re-architecting from the ground up. Furthermore, PM5 SSDs support Multi-Stream Write Technology, a feature that intelligently manages and groups data types to minimize write amplification and minimize garbage collection, translating into reduced latency, improved endurance, increased performance and QoS.
