Fixstars unveiled the world's highest capacity SSD in the 2.5-inch form-factor, with a SATA 6 Gb/s interface, the Fixstars SSD-6000M. This drive offers 6,000 GB of unformatted space, and uses 15 nm MLC NAND flash chips. The underlying controller is unknown, but the drive offers reasonably high sequential transfer speeds of up to 540 MB/s read, with up to 520 MB/s writes. The drive supports modern SSD features, such as NCQ, TRIM, and SMART. The drive is 9.5 mm thick, and may not fit in certain kinds of notebooks. The company plans to launch the drive some time in July, 2015, backed by a 3-year warranty.

Fixstars Solutions Inc., an innovator in flash storage solutions, today announced the start of sales for 3TB SSD, SSD-3000M, and 1TB SSD, SSD-1000M, in North America. The products feature enterprise level reliability and unprecedented sequential read/write performance aimed at professional content creation, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), HPC, and Datacenters.

The 3TB SSD-3000M has the world's highest capacity for 2.5" SATA SSD. High capacity SSDs help reduce the number of drives required in professional setups reducing operational costs such as maintenance, energy, and chassis/rack infrastructure. More importantly a more reliable workflow with minimum handling failures is of significantly valuable. These disks integrate Fixstars' proprietary NAND controller preventing latency spikes and performance deterioration ensuring consistent high performance. Applications for which fast and stable disk writes are crucial such as 4K video recording/editing and encrypted storage for film will benefit the most from Fixstars solid state disks.
