Toshiba Announces SSD Product
Toshiba has announced a new read-intensive solid-state drive product, the PX03SN. The new SSD has a capacity of 1.6TB and supports on full drive write per day.
The new drive is "optimized for read-intensive read-caching and low-duty storage applications," and it comes with a 12 GB/sec Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) interface. According to Toshiba, the drive is intended for scenarios where the customer is looking for a balance between cost, endurance, and performance.
According to Toshiba Senior Marketing Director Don Jeanette, "We are seeing increasing demand for eSSDs that offer an SAS interface and meet customers' endurance and price requirements without sacrificing performance."
