Toshiba bets on future PCIe 4.0 SSDs

The fourth generation of the PCIe interface, PCIe 4.0, doubles the bandwidth available for graphics cards, SSDs, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet cards. The new standard will allow SSDs in particular to offer much higher performance than previous PCIe 3.0 SSDs, especially when it comes to sequential read performance.

Toshiba, one of the first participants looking to enable PCIe 4.0 technologies, leverages its technology leadership role and actively collaborates with PCI-SIG and other member companies to accelerate adoption of the new interface standard.

PCI-SIG organizes Compliance Workshops several times a year in various parts of the world. These workshops give members the opportunity to test and validate their products before entering the field. Conformance testing is completed with both maintained PCI-SIG systems and other leading manufacturers of PCI products. PCI-SIG FYI tests help PCI-SIG evaluate new tests and first-time users evaluate their products.

"Early ecosystem-wide support is required to introduce new technologies, and we are working closely with PCI-SIG and other member companies to bring the benefits of PCIe 4.0 SSDs to end users , " said Kazusa Tomonaga, director senior at SSD Marketing - Strategic Alliances and Ecosystem Development.
