Toshiba has announced the SG5 Series of client solid state drives (cSSD), the company’s first client SATA SSD to support 1,024GB capacity in an M.2 form factor. The SG5 also features 15nm TLC NAND flash memory to reach high storage capacities while maintaining a small form factor and driving down costs for consumers. Toshiba indicates that their new line of cSSDs is purpose built for commercial notebook and desktop PCs, consumer upgrades (from HHD-based systems), and higher-end notebook applications. Last month, Toshiba unveiled of its new read-intensive SAS SSD.
