The M6S will also feature the latest generation of advanced 19 nm Toggle NAND flash from Toshiba. The M6S 2.5" SATA SSD is the perfect replacement for a traditional hard drive and has plenty to offer to performance enthusiasts: faster boot times, shorter application load times and overall improved system performance. The M6S will be available in capacities up to 512 GB.
