V
SSDs provide faster random access performance than HDDs. Therefore,
when used as cache and storage, SSDs help improve the overall
performance of servers and storage systems. SSDs are also a suitable
solution to improve the performance of industrial equipment.

Uses NAND flash memory specifically designed for enterprise applications
to provide enhanced reliability.

Features of Enterprise SSDs
Tiered storage combines high-speed enterprise SSDs and low-cost, high-capacity HDDs, as opposed to conventional storage that
consists of only enterprise HDDs. Compared to the conventional storage system, a tiered storage system improves access
performance by approx. 7.5 times, eliminating I/O bottlenecks. Compared with the conventional storage system, the tiered storage
system cuts the number of drives by approx. two-thirds and cuts power consumption by approx. 55%. The tiered storage system
greatly reduces the total cost of ownership (TCO) and contributes to a reduction in environmental impact. (Estimates by Toshiba)
Toshiba offers a suitable portfolio of enterprise SSDs and HDDs needed to build tiered storage systems. You can select storage
products that best fit your needs.

Benefits of a Tiered Storage System Using eSSDs (Example Estimated for a 300-TB Storage System)
According to an access model of a typical
enterprise storage system, 80% of all accesses
are made to 20% of data. By storing the 20%
most frequently accessed data in eSSDs with
fast access times and high-speed HDDs, you
can dramatically reduce the overall drive count
and power consumption while increasing data
throughput.
