Toshiba Announces Availability of Very Read-intensive Enterprise SAS SSD

[btarunr]

Toshiba Corporation's Semiconductor & Storage Products Company today announced the availability of a new very read-intensive, enterprise SAS solid state drive (SSD) - the PX04SL series. The PX04SL series is optimized for read-intensive application workloads such as data warehousing, web servers, media streaming and video on demand (VOD). Sample shipments start today.

The PX04SL can offer the most cost-effective solutions in Toshiba's PX04S generation of SAS interface enterprise SSDs. Available in 2TB[1] and 4TB capacities, the PX04SL enables organizations to minimize total cost of ownership (TCO) without sacrificing performance. With sustained random read performance of 270K IOPS[2], 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.

Because we all have still empty SAS ports on our motherboards...
It's almost as relevant as writing about Mars colonization here.

that was kind of my point. but thanks for writing it out for me.

Some of us actually have a vested interested in server hardware as some of us actually work in the industry where this kind of thing matters. I think you missed my point.

I have two motherboards with SAS ports. I am unsure why you are trying to marginalize news about SAS technology, but it is relevant.

I have SAS ports? This appears to be a tech webpage, this news is about tech so where is the issue.

On another note everyone did read that they had a 4TB SSD correct?
