INDUSTRIAL/ EMBEDDED COMPUTING MEDIA & ENTERTAINMENT SURVEILLANCE STORAGE CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE

Connector (Interface) SATA and SAS are prepared for use and process signals.

Spindle Motor It is responsible for spinning the platters, allowing HDDs to operate. Media Data is read and written by the magnetic head. Connector (Interface) SAS and SATA are compatible with HDDs. Magnetic Head M.2 and U.2 are also available. The magnetic head reads and writes data to media. Controller The controller is the core device of the SSD, enabling fast read/write performance, wear leveling, and enhanced reliability.

DRAM For cache.

NAND ﬂ ash memory Data is stored in a NAND ﬂ ash memory array.

NAND fl ash memory*1 In 1984, Toshiba developed a new type of semiconductor memory called fl ash memory, leading the industry into the next generation ahead of its competitors. Some time later in 1987, NAND fl ash memory BACK-UP AND ARCHIVING (NAND) was developed, and this has since been used in a variety of memory cards and electronic equipment. The NAND market has grown rapidly, with fl ash memory becoming an internationally standardized memory device. Toshiba, the inventor of fl ash memory, has carved out AUTOMOTIVE a path to a new era in which we are all able to carry videos, music and data with us wherever we go.

Toshiba SSDs include Technology Geared Torwards Life Time Expansion Advanced Format As a result of repeating read/write i.e. electron injection into a fl oating gate of NAND memory cell, the oxide layer is degraded and this degradation causes Advanced Format (AF) is the standard that improves formatting effi ciency by increasing the length of HDD data sectors to be longer than their traditional size limitation of read/write endurance shortening a life time of SSD. Various technologies have been applied to overcome this limitation and to extend the life time of 512 bytes. The Advanced Format standard was formulated by the International Disk Drive Equipment and Materials Association (IDEMA) in which Toshiba of SSD, there are three major techniques widely employed with current SSDs, “Wear Leveling”, “Over Provisioning” and “ECC & Refresh”. and other HDD manufacturers participate. By establishing the Advanced Format standard, IDEMA aims to ensure that the storage devices supplied by various Wear Leveling is managed through the fl ash controller algorithms which monitor and reassign data blocks that are frequently accessed and have met a companies will be compatible with fi le systems as well as operating systems (OS). pre defi ned access threshold to maintain performance. Over Provisioning method – by which the number of logical blocks assigned to the device – exceeds Advanced Format improves formatting effi ciency and the reliability of recorded data by increasing the length of data sectors and thereby through powerful error the marketed capacity to provide the required life expectancy through re-assignment using the Wear Leveling technique. With regard to the adoption of detection and correction algorithms. The generation one Advanced Format standards stipulate a sector size of 4,096 bytes and includes 512-byte emulation Error correction codes (ECC) and Refresh, ECC is redundant codes added to user data to correct errors and Refresh is a mechanism which relocates data functionality in order to maintain compatibility with applications or hardware which demands conventional 512-byte sector confi gurations. During emulation, to prevent an error before the limit of error correction by ECC is exceeded. Error rates of NAND memory increase when Erase/Write cycle increases. ECC and when data is sent to the disk in increments of 512 bytes to be written, it is converted before writing into 4,096 KB units. Refresh techniques are intended to prevent error rates getting worse and help SSDs to expand their life time.

INNOVATION IS OUR TRADITION: FLASH MEMORY AND MORE

NAND GOOD FACTORY AWARD

In 1984, Toshiba developed a new type of semiconductor This award is presented to factories in Asia that show superior memory called ﬂ ash memory. In 1987, NAND ﬂ ash memory results in terms of improvement and innovation, commending was developed and became the internationally standardized them as models for the Japanese manufacturing industry. memory device, leading the industry into the next generation. It was founded by the Japan Management Association in 2011. Toshiba Information Equipment (Philippines), Inc. (TIP), which manufactures HDDs and SSDs, won the “Factory Management Award” in October 2011. This “Factory Management Award” recognizes comprehen sively high-level and good balance in factory management.

* 1 NAND fl ash memory is a nonvolatile semiconductor memory. * 2 „2.5-Inch“ and „3.5-Inch“ mean the form factor of HDDs or SSDs. They do not indicate drive‘s physical size. * 3 One gigabyte (GB) = one billion bytes, accessible capacity may be less and actual capacity depends on the operating environment and formatting. * 4 A kibibyte (KiB) means 210, or 1,024 bytes, a mebibyte (MiB) means 220, or 1,048,576 bytes, and a gibibyte (GiB) means 230, or 1,073,471,824 bytes. * 5 Product image may represent a design model. * 6 Number of surveillance cameras support capability is defi ned by performance simulation with High Defi nition cameras as 2 MiB/s rate. * 7 DWPD (Drive Write Per Day). One full drive write per day means the drive can be written and re-written to full capacity once a day every day for fi ve years, the stated product warranty period. Actual results may vary due to system confi guration, usage and other factors. * 8 IOPS: Input Output Per Second (or the number of I/O operations per second) * 9 A = Advanced Format Sector (4k), E = 512byte Sector Emulated, N = 512byte Sector Native * 9a P=4kn Q=512e * 10 MTTF (Mean Time to Failure) is not a guarantee or estimate of product life; it is a statistical value related to mean failure rates for a large number of products which may not accurately refl ect actual operation. Actual operating life of the product may be different from the MTTF. Read and write speed may vary depending on the host device, read and write conditions and fi le size. Toshiba refers to “storage products“ as products that can store data, such as SSD and HDD.
