Toshiba introduced 2.5-inch, 512-GB solid-state drive (SSD) for notebooks. The new drive is one of a series of SSDs built with Toshiba’s latest 43-nanometer production process. The stations also will come with capacities of 64 GB, 128 GB and 256 GB, which will be available in 1.8-inch and 2.5-inch enclosures. Samples of the new products will be available in the first quarter of next year with mass production scheduled for the second quarter. Toshiba had not announced pricing.
SSDs deliver higher performance, consume less power, and lighter than traditional hard-disk drives. Within the data center, SSDs have been targeted for applications that require faster transaction times.
