SSDs offer reliability in server & datacentre applications

The HK3E2, available in capacities up to 800GB in a 2.5" (63.5mm) standard form-factor, is designed for mainstream enterprise applications such as exchange mail servers, web servers, database servers, indexing servers, and datacentre storage workloads. The HK3E2 series has a three Drive Writes Per Day (DWPD) endurance specification for five years, with random 4KiB enterprise workload.

Available in capacities up to 960GB in a 2.5" (63.5mm) standard form-factor, the HK3R2 is designed for read intensive applications and workloads such as read caching, video streaming and data center storage. The HK3R2 has an endurance rating of one DWPD for five years with a random 4KiB enterprise workload.

Suitable for the enterprise environment, both eSSDs are equipped with power loss and end-to-end data protection features with a common controller and mechanical design. Additionally, both the HK3R2 series and the HK3E2 series incorporate Toshiba’s proprietary quadruple swing-by code error-correction technology, a highly efficient error correction code, which helps protect customer data from corruption caused by NAND flash memory media wear, thus improving reliability and extending the life of Toshiba SSDs. The series also feature both a Toshiba-designed SATA SSD controller and Toshiba 19nm 2nd-gen MLC NAND flash memory.

“The HK3E2 and HK3R2 series address different application requirements but offer the same platform commonality to help customers leverage testing and minimise redundant qualification activity,” said Martin Larsson, Vice President, Storage Products Division, Toshiba. “With a Toshiba-designed enterprise SATA SSD controller and integrated Toshiba 19nm 2nd-gen NAND flash memory, customers are offered the performance and data integrity they need.”
