Toshiba XD5 Series SSD is a kind of Data Center NVMe SSD. It is a PCIe Gen 3, NVMe 1.3a specification, with high performance SSD. Its capacity includes 1.92 TB and 3.84 TB. For more information about this series of SDD, please read this article.
Toshiba XD5 Series SSD
The Toshiba XD5 series SSD is specially designed for read-intensive hyperscale data center applications.
If your organization is concerned about consistent quality of service (QoS), consistent read latency and consistent read of performance, you can choose to use this SDD.
Although the Intel Optane 4800X and the Western Digital PC SN970 can beat Toshiba XD5 series SSD due to the overall performance, the Toshiba XD5 can make up the disadvantages due to the durability, endurance, capacity and steady work rate.
With Toshiba XD5 SSD, you can write almost 4 TB data per day for five years with a steady performance rate without slouch.
The read/write rate can reach up to 385,000/230,000 IOPS. Thus, it is an ideal choice for enterprise storage systems which needs to support large transactional workloads and some other applications which require constant data writing at a predictable rate with reliable and good performance.
To manage your SSD easily and effectively, you can use the partition manager – MiniTool Partition Wizard. This software has many useful functions, like Migrate OS to SSD/HD, Merge Partition, Split Partition, and more.
Toshiba XD5 Series SSD Description
Now, we will show you the specification of this series of SSD.
Indeed, the Toshiba XD5 Series SSD has a PCIe Gen 3, NVMe 1.3a specification which has high performance. Till now, it has two capacities: 1.92 TB and 3.84 TB. Besides, it is built on BiCS FLASH TLC and useful in sub-1 drive write per day.
Due to these specifications, this SSD can be used on high-performance Tier 0 computing, server and storage systems.
Its NAND flash memory and controllers can supply you with high reliability, data protection, power-loss-protection and the encryption technology. Thus, it can fully meet your demands for enterprise applications.
Besides, the weight is light and the power consumption is lower.
