New Value-oriented SSD Solution Delivers Affordable Hard Drive Upgrades that Won’t Break the Bank

Düsseldorf, Germany, 27th September, 2016 – Toshiba Electronics Europe (TEE) announces the launch of the Toshiba OCZ TL100 SATA solid state drive (SSD) series. Designed for entry-level users with traditional hard disk drive (HDD) storage seeking an affordable upgrade solution, the Toshiba OCZ TL100 series provides the performance of SSD technology at an attractive price point.

Offering an easy and affordable way for value-oriented users to enhance their mobile or desktop systems, Toshiba OCZ TL100 SSDs improve home/office computing experiences, enabling increased system responsiveness and productivity over hard drives. With Toshiba TLC NAND flash memory, the TL100 series prioritizes both quality and affordability delivering the reliable system storage end users can rely on.

The TL100 series is rated for sequential read/write speeds of up to 550 MB/s and 530 MB/s, and random read/write performance of up to 85,000 and 80,000 4KiB[1] input/output operations per second (IOPS)[2], all while providing low power consuming storage that translates into a long battery life for on-the-go users.

“The Toshiba OCZ TL100 SATA SSD series demonstrates that “value” does not have to mean end-users need to sacrifice performance or quality,” said Paul Rowan, General Manager of Toshiba Electronics Europe, SSD Business Unit. “As an affordable upgrade option for home and office users, the TL100 series makes SSD performance and responsiveness more accessible to a wider audience.”

The OCZ TL100 SATA SSD series will be available in 120GB to 240GB[3] capacities and will be backed by a 3-year Advanced Warranty Program[4], created to provide reliable customer service and mitigates the frustration surrounding warranty and support claims.



[1] 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 1,073,471,824 bytes

[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 1 GB = 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.
