Dell became the first global server original equipment manufacturer to use Toshiba’s PX04S solid state drives (SSDs).

The 12Gbit/s SAS PX04S Series is now available. With this family of drives, Dell now offers SAS-based servers with the fastest random read enterprise SSDs1 in today’s market.

The PX04S Series features a Toshiba-developed controller and Toshiba-developed NAND to provide a vertically integrated SSD. Toshiba claimed that these combination will provide effective system and application performance in servers and storage.

“With the fastest random read SAS SSDs available, Toshiba’s PX04S SSDs offer excellent performance and value for Dell PowerEdge server customers. Toshiba has been a long-time and trusted supplier to Dell for SAS SSDs,” said Brian Payne, executive director of Dell PowerEdge product management.

Steve Fingerhut, senior vice president and general manager of Toshiba America Electronic Components said, “We’re proud to provide this storage option for Dell’s PowerEdge servers, and the PX04S Series was a natural fit for Dell’s emphasis on quality and reliability.”
