Toshiba is sampling SSDs that are based on its 96-layer, 3D flash memory. They come in 256GB, 512GB and 1024 GB capacities.
The first SSD to use this technology, the XG6 series, is targeted to the client PC, high-performance mobile, embedded, and gaming segments – as well as datacentre environments for boot drives in servers, caching & logging, and commodity storage.
As the inventor of flash memory and the first to introduce the concept of 3D flash memory, Toshiba’s drive to improve The technology with 96-layer product achieves a capacity increase of approximately 40% per unit chip size over 64-layer 3D flash memory.
“The XG6 series is available in an M.2 2280 single-sided form factor and supports PCI Express vGeneration 3×4 lane and NVM Express revision 1.3a. Theb XG6 series, which consumes 4.7W or less of power and reaches up to 3,180MB/sec of sequential read and nearly 3,000MB/sec of sequential write, and up to 355,000 random read and 365,000 random write IOPS.
Additional Features Include:

Additional Features Include:
- Security: Pyrite or self-encrypting drive models supporting TCG Opal Version 2.01, as well as support for block SID and digital signature
- Support for user-selectable over provisioning feature through NVMe command
- Top-of-the-class sequential performance (client class)[6]
- Enhanced SLC buffer to improve drive performance for client workloads
