PRESS RELEASE
High capacity HDDs and SSDs address capacity, performance and efficiency demands of data-intensive enterprise and cloud storage applications
Düsseldorf, Germany, 22nd May, 2013 - Toshiba - the inventor of NAND Flash memory - has announced full European availability of its latest Enterprise-class PX02SMx SSDs (solid state drives) and MG03xxxx HDDs (hard disk drives). These storage devices are ideal for a wide range of business-critical server and storage platforms as well as private cloud storage infrastructures.
PX02SMx enterprise SSDs (eSSD) utilize cost-effective 24nm eMLC (enterprise multi-level cell) NAND technology and are available with capacities of 200GB1 (PX02SMF020), 400GB (PX02SMF040), 800GB (PX02SMF080) and 1.6TB (PX02SMB160). The drives feature a dual-port 12Gb/sec SAS interface and support Cryptographic erase. Furthermore, the eSSDs incorporate Toshiba's proprietary Quadruple Swing-By Code (QSBCTM) for improved error correction and reliability.
Toshiba's HDDs are supplied in a 3.5 inch (8.9 cm) form factor, have been designed to accommodate 24/7 operation and can be supplied with Toshiba's Enhanced Secure Cryptographic Erase feature. The MG03ACAx series is equipped with a SATA interface and is available with capacities of 1TB (MG03ACA100), 2TB (MG03ACA200), 3TB (MG03ACA300) and 4TB (MG03ACA400). The MG03SCAx series is fitted with a SAS interface and is also available with capacities of 1TB (MG03SCA100), 2TB (MG03SCA200), 3TB (MG03SCA300) and 4TB (MG03SCA400).
These new devices aim to provide organizations with ability to meet the capacity, security and efficiency challenges of the cloud computing and big data revolutions that are expected to transform the storage business environment over the next 10 years.

1. One Gigabyte (1GB) means 109 = 1,000,000,000 bytes. One Terabyte (1TB) means 1012 = 1,000,000,000,000 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 1TB = 240 = 1,099,511,627,776 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 and other factors.
