Toshiba's new TR200 series SSDs are built around 64-Layer 3-bit-per-cell TLC (triple-level cell) BiCS Flash memory, but use the legacy SATA interface and target budget-conscious do-it-yourselfers. Toshiba’s BiCS flash memory employs a three-dimensional (3D) stacked cell structure that is designed for high density applications, but it also offers higher endurance than typical 3D NAND Flash, and is also low power, which is why a number of industry players are now leveraging the technology. BiCS 3D flash memory is capable of higher performance as well, in certain configurations. Maximum performance isn’t what these drives are about, though. Low cost, durable solid state storage is the name of the game here...
