TOKYO- Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO: 6502) today announced that it will start sample shipments of its enterprise SSD (eSSD) "PX02SM" series, including "PX02SMB160", which has a 1.6TB capacity, the largest-class [1] of storage capacity in the market, in July.

Targeted at applications requiring the highest levels of eSSD performance, the PX02SM series is Toshiba's first eSSD to utilize eMLC (enterprise multi-level cell) NAND technology, with capacities of 200, 400, 800GB[2] and 1.6TB[2], and is Toshiba's first offering with a dual-port 12Gb/sec SAS interface with a form-factor equivalent to industry-standard 2.5-inch HDDs.

The PX02SM series features Toshiba's original QSBC[4] error correction technology, which includes multiple error correction circuits that can select the most efficient error correction operation for different level errors.

The flagship 1.6TB model will be showcased during COMPUTEX at the Marvell suite, T101C, located on the first floor of the Taipei International Convention Center, June 4-8.
