The AL14SX Series of 15,000RPM 2.5-inch[1] drives features a
12Gbit/s[2] SAS interface. Available models are 4K native (4Kn)
model and 512 emulation (512e) model that feature Advanced Format
Sector Technologies, and 512 native (512n) model optimized for
legacy applications and hypervisor environments. The AL14SX Series
delivers a suitable choice for customers’ diverse applications.
The AL14SX Series is available in 300GB, 600GB and 900GB
capacities. The 900GB[3] model offers a 50% increase in maximum
capacity from the 600GB of the predecessor AL13SX Series. The 4Kn
and 512e models also delivers an approximately 19% increase in
sustained data rate, pushing it to 290MiB/s[4], and an
approximately 28.7% improvement in power efficiency (W/GB). These
improvements in capacity, speed and power-saving contribute to a
lower total cost of ownership (TCO) for the server and system.
Customers also can select models supporting Sanitize Instant
Erase (SIE), which realizes fast invalidation of data recorded on
the disks, allowing for efficient disposal and reuse.
[1] "2.5-inch" means the form factor of HDDs. They do not
indicate drive's physical size.[2] Read and write speed may vary
depending on the host device, read and write conditions, and file
size.[3] Definition of capacity: Toshiba defines a megabyte (MB) as
1,000,000 bytes, 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 = 230 = 1,073,741,824 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] 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 1,073,741,824 bytes.
