Read-intensive enterprise solid-state drives offer maximum application scalability

Toshiba Electronics Europe has announced the availability of a new 'very read-intensive', enterprise SAS solid state drive (SSD) – The PX04SL Series is optimised for read-intensive application workloads such as data warehousing, web servers, media streaming, and video on demand (VOD). The PX04SL can offer the most cost-effective solutions in the PX04S generation. Available in 2TB and 4TB capacities, the PX04SL assists organisations in minimising total cost of ownership (TCO) without sacrificing performance. With sustained random read performance of 270K IOPS, the PX04SL helps read-intensive application workloads achieve superior results. To combat bottlenecks, this SAS SSD provides high-density storage for efficient data throughput to deliver high performance, reliability and endurance for maximum application scalability, says the company. “The PX04SL joins our exceptional third-generation SAS SSDs and leverages Toshiba’s vertical integration and leadership strengths in the growing SSD market,” said Martin Larsson, vice president of Toshiba Electronics Europe, Storage Products Division.
