As one of the first companies to enter the solid state drive market with a family of products based on multi-level cell (MLC) NAND TECHNOLOGY, Toshiba has announced the INDUSTRY’S first 2.5-inch MLC 512GB¹ solid state drive (SSD) based on 43-nanometer (nm) technology. 

Compared to hard disk drives (HDDs), SSDs realize faster boot time, higher reliability, improved performance and no mechanical sound. Toshiba’s new SSDs utilize an advanced MLC controller that achieves higher read/write speeds, parallel data transfers and wear-leveling to optimize performance, reliability and endurance. The drives enable improved system responsiveness with a maximum sequential read speed of 240MB per second (MBps)² and maximum sequential write speed of 200MBps enabling an improvement in overall computing experience, and faster boot and application loading times. The drives also offer AES data encryption to prevent unauthorized data access.
