Toshiba Launches Client SSDs Using 15nm TLC NAND Flash Memory

High capacity products including 1024GB models added to the client SATA line-up

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Toshiba Corporation’s (TOKYO:6502) Semiconductor & Storage Products Company today announced the launch of the “SG5 series” of client SSDs integrating NAND chips fabricated with 15nm TLC process technology. The new products, which include high capacity 1024GB models, will be available in 2.5-type and M.2 2280 (single- and double-sided) form factors, to meet various mounting requirements from the expansion of SSD application fields. Sample shipments start from today.

The SG5 series is equipped with Toshiba’s proprietary QSBC^TM (Quadruple Swing-By Code) ^[1] error correction technology, a highly efficient error correction code (ECC) which helps protect customer data from corruption and improves reliability.

Toshiba will continue strengthening its SSD lineup, meeting the various needs of users and leading the continuously expanding SSD market.

[2] Definition of capacity: Toshiba defines a megabyte (MB) as 1,000,000 bytes and a gigabyte (GB) as 1,000,000,000 bytes. A computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity using powers of 2 for the definition of 1GB = 2³⁰ = 1,073,741,824 bytes and therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity (including examples of various media files) will vary based on file size, formatting, settings, software and operating system, such as Microsoft Operating System and/or pre-installed software applications, or media content. Actual formatted capacity may vary.
[3] Toshiba defines a mebibyte (MiB) as 1,048,576 bytes (2²⁰).
Read and write speed may vary depending on the host device, read and write conditions, and file size.
