Toshiba releases HK3 Enterprise series SSDs
Toshiba announced the expansion of its line-up of enterprise SSDs with the addition of two new series of enterprise SSDs - the HK3R2 series for read-intensive workloads and the HK3E2 series for value-endurance workloads.
These 6Gbit/s SATA enterprise SSDs join Toshiba's broad portfolio of enterprise storage solutions featuring a variety of endurance ratings to meet the needs of specific application requirements and customer environments. Shipment starts from today.
Read-Intensive HK3R2 Series: Available in capacities up to 960GB in a 2.5-inch standard form-factor (7mm Z-height). The HK3R2 series is designed for read-intensive applications and workloads such as read caching, video streaming and data center storage. It has an endurance rating of one DWPD (drive writes per day) for five years with a random 4KB enterprise workload.
Ideal for the enterprise environment, both SSDs are equipped with power-loss and end-to-end data protection features with a common controller and mechanical design. Additionally, both the HK3R2 series and the HK3E2 series incorporate Toshiba's proprietary QSBCTM (Quadruple Swing-By Code) error-correction technology, a highly efficient error correction code (ECC), which helps protect customer data from corruption caused by NAND flash memory media wear, thus improving reliability and extending the life of Toshiba SSDs.
