Toshiba hard drives and SSDs come from different divisions. We did reach out to Toshiba before ordering this drive ourselves, but the company is notoriously difficult to work with when it comes to sampling. We enjoy looking at OEM SSDs because they allow us to comment on the storage solutions shipping in complete systems. MSI chose it for a few new notebooks (that's where our sample came from), and we found an eBay seller with some 128GB XG3s ripped out and replaced with higher-capacity drives from another vendor. The XG3 M.2 drive earned design wins from a couple of OEMs. That's right, there's a SATA Express version available to exactly one system integrator. The second is a two-lane PCIe implementation built for specific OEMs that wanted SATA Express SSDs. The first is a M.2 PCIe 3.1 four-lane model, which we're testing today. At Flash Memory Summit 2015, we sat down with Toshiba and learned more about its XG3 NVMe drive.
