Toshiba, the world's smallest push scary performance only coin size PCIe SSD

　The most common type of mechanical hard drives mostly only SATA interface type, and solid-state drives, but not only that, the form of all sorts, the most obvious is the PCI Express interface SSDs. However, although this type of solid-state drive storage capacity can be very large, the transmission
speed is much faster than SATA, but its size has been and general sound card or video card the same size, and for the PCI-E interface board with less, or for space request chassis is not very friendly.

　 Toshiba also take into account these problems, and decided to go to extremes after weighing, released a new coin is only about the size of a BG series SSDs, allegedly by a high degree of integration, not only simple in design, but also to go is NVMe PCI-E channel faster than the speed of the interface type M.2.

　　BG series SSDs Toshiba

　　Toshiba BG Series SSDs are still in the development stage, but Toshiba's CES 2015 show some time ago has come up with several prototypes on display. BG series SSD uses the PCI-E SSD NVMe similar specifications, but based on the same technology eMMC storage will host controller and flash memory packaged together, so that the volume is very small, PCB board is only a little bigger than the NAND flash memory chips, so people wonder.

　　In fact, the PCB only一枚only chip, PCI Express slots are still available, but the small size to 16 x 20 x 1.65 mm, which is currently the smallest and has come out the strongest performance of solid-state hard drive. Toshiba said they also plan to launch this SSD single package version, tablet chip soldered directly to laptops, Ultrabooks or on a tablet.

　　Practical

　　thanks to PCI Express controllers, and BGA package, it also includes a high-speed I / O performance, can be used by the PC and the serial physical interface. May be less than the entire SSD exaggerated 1g, 98% lighter than conventional 2.5-inch SATA SSD. However, the storage capacity reduced by 95%, more than 256GB of capacity temporarily can not do this.

　　Toshiba BG series PCI Express SSD mobile PC, there is no doubt lighter than ever, and more free space available, the designer fully utilize the extra space to further increase the battery pack. Similarly, even if the general desktop use, the space will be very abundant, and traces of the airflow is definitely a good thing. More importantly, such an extreme design SSD, which is faster than the recent rise of M.2 interface SSD speeds.

　　Compare Unfortunately, Toshiba did not disclose the BG series SSDs actually time the city, pricing and more distant things, Toshiba said it is also working to develop the prototype stage.
