| 1 | Toshiba Memory Corporation survey, in the segment of single package SSDs, as of January 8, 2019. | |
| 2 | Toshiba Memory Corporation survey, in the segment of single package SSDs, as of January 8, 2019. | |
| 3 | Definition of capacity: Toshiba Memory Corporation defines a gigabyte (GB) as 1,000,000,000 bytes and a terabyte (TB) as 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. A computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity using powers of 2 for the definition of 1GB = 2^30 bytes = 1,073,741,824 bytes, 1TB = 2^40 bytes = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes and therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity (including examples of various media files) will vary based on file size, formatting, settings, software and operating system, such as Microsoft® Operating System and/or pre-installed software applications, or media content. Actual formatted capacity may vary. | |
| 4 | The thickness of the 128GB, 256GB and 512GB single package models is 1.3 mm, and the thickness of the 1024GB single package model is 1.5 mm. | |
| 5 | Based on the best performance of BG4 series (BG4 1024GB model) vs. BG3 series (BG3 512GB model) under Toshiba Memory Corporation test conditions. | |
| 6 | Toshiba Memory Corporation survey based on sequential read and write speeds of 128KiB units, using BG4 1024GB models under Toshiba Memory Corporation test conditions. Read and write speed may vary, depending on the host device, read and write conditions, and file size. Toshiba Memory Corporation defines a megabyte (MB) as 1,000,000 bytes and a kibibyte (KiB) as 2^10 bytes, or 1,024 bytes. The sequential read and write performance mentioned herein are reference data, and may vary with the BG4 product data in the datasheet. | |
| 7 | Toshiba Memory Corporation survey based on random read and write speeds of 4KiB units, using BG4 1024GB models under Toshiba Memory Corporation test conditions. Read and write speed may vary, depending on the host device, read and write conditions, and file size. IOPS is Input Output Per Second (or the number of I/O operations per second) and Toshiba Memory Corporation defines a kibibyte (KiB) as 2^10 bytes, or 1,024 bytes. The random read and write performance mentioned herein are reference data, and may vary with the BG4 product data in the datasheet. | |
| 8 | Based on the best sequential performance of BG4 1024GB model vs. the theoretical maximum bandwidth of SATA 6Gbit/s SSD. | |
| 9 | Based on the power/performance ratio of BG4 PCIe Gen3x4 lanes model vs. BG3 PCIe Gen3x2 lanes model under Toshiba Memory Corporation test conditions. | |
| 10 | Toshiba Memory Corporation survey under the test conditions of link power management state L1.2 in non-operation power state. | |
| 11 | Availability of the self-encrypting drive (SED) model line-up may vary by region. |
