In a recently released video, the third in a series titled "Memory Design Insights" that takes viewers inside memory design issues with straight talk from Toshiba's memory experts, Doug Wong, senior member of TAEC's technical staff, details the advantages that NAND flash brings to the datacenter. These advantages include more write/erase cycles compared to conventional MLC NAND and shorter read latency, higher performance, reduced footprints and lowered storage management and administration costs when compared to HDD (hard disk drive)-based systems.
Designed for the intense, constantly evolving demands of the enterprise, Toshiba's two families of enterprise NAND are eSLC (from 64 Gb-256 Gb) and eMLC (from 128 Gb-512 Gb)[1]. When compared to standard consumer MLC devices, these enterprise NAND offerings bring extended endurance (extended write/erase cycles), and longer product life. Both families use a Toggle Mode NAND flash interface, which employs a double data rate transfer.
According to Wong, "Five years ago, 'Enterprise NAND' did not exist. Realizing that these data-hungry applications would eventually need high-performing storage solutions that also provided extended endurance, we created a line of NAND solutions with these needs in mind. Today, the benefits of enterprise NAND can be clearly seen – including high speed data streaming and internet access. Toshiba will continue to anticipate future needs when developing our NAND solutions – to enable a better connected world."

[1] Product density is identified based on the density of memory chip(s) within the Product, not the amount of memory capacity available for data storage by the end user. Consumer-usable capacity will be less due to overhead data areas, formatting, bad blocks, and other constraints, and may also vary based on the host device and application. Maximum read and write speed may vary depending on the host device, read and write conditions, and file size.
