Realizing a Storage Device for the New Generation
SSD (Solid State Drive)
Expectations are high for SSD (Solid State Drive), the next-generation data
storage device based on NAND flash memory. And that’s not surprising, as
SSD offers high-speed data access and excellent shock resistance with low
power consumption.
Toshiba positions SSD alongside HDD (Hard Disk Drive) as a high growth
business, able to respond to diverse market needs for data storage.
With its high-speed data throughput, light weight, and excellent shock resistance, NAND
flash memory has established a leading position in the market for data storage devices.
Toshiba is advancing its SDD business by making best use of its NAND flash memory
technology and the extensive know-how accumulated in the PC and HDD business.
PCs with SSD offer a comfortable, reliable mobile computing environment delivering
high-speed start-up, high-speed data access, and long battery life. There’s also a much reduced
risk of accidental data losses from shock or vibration. Toshiba is now enhancing its PC line-up
by introducing SSD developed in-house to new product series. Toshiba’s 512GB SSD, one of
the industry’s largest models, was integrated into the “Portégé R600,” the world’s lightest mobile
notebook, while the “dynabook NX (Japanese model)” premium compact notebook PC sports
a 128GB SSD, and the “NB100/HF (Japanese model)” mini notebook can boast a 64GB SSD.
Toshiba expects to expand its SSD business into the server market, and will develop SSD
as a driving force for growth in the memory business.

Comment from product development staff
!
“Everybody with a portable PC wants ‘speedy
startup,’ ‘low power consumption and long
battery life,’ and ‘improved shock resistance
from no movable parts.’ We saw SSD as the
solution.”
