Toshiba Storage Products today announced a new lineup of solid state drives (SSDs) that provides both high performance and energy efficiency for the most data-intensive and energy-sensitive applications. The THNSNF drives are the world’s first to take advantage of 19nm process NAND flash memory, which delivers major advances in power consumption and performance. Continuing Toshiba’s long history of innovation in NAND flash memory — 2012 marks the 25th anniversary of Toshiba’s invention of NAND flash — the THNSNF series provides an ideal storage solution for high-end and thin and light notebooks, all-in-one desktop computers, embedded systems and external storage devices for consumer and industrial PCs.

The THNSNF series employs Toggle MLC (multi-level cell) NAND flash, which delivers significantly faster performance than competing SSDs using synchronous or asynchronous NAND flash. Clocking in at around twice the speed of Toshiba’s HG3 series SSDs, the THNSNF series will be available in four capacities (64, 128, 256, and 512 GB) and in three form factors:

• THNSNFxxxGBSS - 9.5 mm height, SATA 6Gb/s
• THNSNFxxxGCSS -7.0 mm height, SATA 6Gb/s
• THNSNFxxxGMCS - mSATATM, SATA 6Gb/s
