Toshiba's new SSD SG5, chip 15 nm and even with form factor M.2 2280

When talking about SSD Toshiba should always open a parenthesis, because the situation is quite smokey. After the acquisition by the Japanese company OCZ, it is difficult to understand what the strategy of Toshiba SSD field, signposted often in contradiction with each other within a few days while referring directly to interested companies.

We start from the certainties: Toshiba always has a very direct relationship with OEMs, why can be found within the different PC SSD Toshiba known brands, almost unknown to the public, since they are rarely sold directly to the consumer market . This consideration reinforces the belief that Toshiba has acquired OCZ just to have good cards to play where it was not present, although the issue is minimized by the parties, if questioned. Sometimes even denied.


With this premise, it is hard to understand for those who are targeted by the new Toshiba SG5, although we can assume that they can be targeted to OEM (Toshiba SSD client generally indicates on the site). Let us now turn to the description of the unit: interesting is the decision to offer two form factors, 2.5 "7mm thick and M.2 2280, the latter used in several 1 and 2 in ultra-portable.

All units are equipped with SATA interface, the performance claims of 545MB / s read and 388MB / s write. The 2.5-inch models are available in denominations of 128GB, 256GB, 512GB and 1TB, while for M.2 find unna version with chips on one side only (128GB, 256GB and 512GB), while the 1TB has chips on both sides.

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you. This article explores the rise of on-device AI — how it works, why it matters, and why the cloud’s days as the centre of the AI universe might be numbered. What Is On-Device AI? On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...
