Toshiba HK3R series

IRVINE, Calif. December 9, 2013 The Storage Products Business Unit of Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc., a committed technology leader, announces the HK3R enterprise solid state drive (eSSD). The HK3R series has a 2.5-inch form factor and 6Gb/s[1] SATA interface integrated with Toshiba 19nm NAND flash for high quality and reliability. The HK3R eSSD is optimized for read-intensive applications such as read-caching, error logging, boot, and low-duty storage applications requiring power-loss-protection and end-to-end data protection features.

The HK3R eSSD incorporates Toshiba proprietary QSBC (Quadruple Swing-By Code) error-correction technology[2], a highly efficient error correction code (ECC), to ensure that customer data is safe and accessible. The HK3R eSSD is available in capacities up to 480 GB[3] and supports one full drive write per day[4] with a one hundred percent random data, aligned 4KiB workload. The HK3R eSSD delivers enterprise-class reliability and consistent, sustained high performance over the life of the product. Additionally, the HK3R eSSD carries a 5-year limited warranty[5].

Toshiba recognizes the importance of eSSD reliability and designs our eSSDs with full power loss protection and QSBC error protection technology to put our customers minds at ease, said Don Jeanette, senior director of marketing at Toshiba Storage Products Business Unit. Toshiba understands that keeping enterprise data safe and accessible is of the upmost importance.

The HK3R 120GB, 240 GB and 480GB customer samples will begin shipping in December 2013. For more information on Toshibas line of industry-leading SSDs, HDDs and SSHDs, visit www.toshibastorage.com.
