Toshiba Memory Corporation: SATA Client
SSD SG6 Series (Photo: Business Wire)
The new SG6 series SSDs features a SATA Revision 3.3, 6.0Gbit/s
interface, and delivers performance of up to 550MB/s sequential
read and 535MB/s sequential write[1]. Thanks to improved flash
memory management and performance, active power consumption is cut
by approximately 40% compared to previous generation products[2].
This improvement can extend battery life, a plus for many
applications including mobile computing.
The new series will be available in three capacities, 256GB,
512GB and 1024GB[3]. Each capacity is aligned with two form
factors: 2.5-type for hard disk drive (HDD) upgrades; and M.2
2280[4] type for mainstream mobile PCs. Security needs will be
addressed by offering self-encrypting drive (SED) models supporting
TCG Opal Version 2.01[5]
The SG6 SSD series also supports Toshiba’s proprietary QSBCTM
(Quadruple Swing-By Code) error-correction technology, an efficient
error correction code (ECC) that helps to protect customer data
from corruption and improves reliability, realizing efficient and
accurate data processing.
The SG6 series will be exhibited at the Flash Memory Summit 2017
in Santa Clara, California, USA from August 8 to 10, at Booth
#407.

Notes[1] Toshiba Memory Corporation survey based on sequential
read and write speeds of 128KiB units, using 1024GB models in the
SG6 series under Toshiba Memory Corporation test conditions. Read
and write speed may vary, depending on the host device, read and
write conditions, and file size. Toshiba Memory Corporation defines
a megabyte (MB) as 1,000,000 bytes and a kibibyte (KiB) as 210
bytes, or 1,024 bytes.[2] SG5 series[3] Definition of capacity:
Toshiba Memory Corporation defines 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 bytes =
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.[4] The form factor of the 256GB and
512GB models is M.2 2280-S2 and for the 1024GB model it is M.2
2280-D2.[5] Availability of the SED model line-up may vary by
region.
