Present in capacities of 100GB 200GB and 400G the MKx001GRZB family of SSDs send random remains of 90 000 read and 17 000 write IOPS and systematic remaining 510MB/sec read and 230MB/sec write throughout. This realizes read speeds more than 3 times rapidly than for Toshiba's present enterprise HDD according to the company.

The drives needs 6.5W for work which is higher compared to SSDs by few other companies but thanks to high I/O performance Toshiba announces industries leading power efficiency rating of 13 800IOPS/watt. The SSDs come in 2.5 form components and with Serial Attaches SCSI interface.
