The rise of flash storage has been a dominant theme in the datacentre in recent years. And rightly so, with performance in the order of 100 times better than spinning disk media. But there are always ...

This article is part of the Technology Insight series, made possible with funding from Intel. NAND flash media solid state drives (SSDs) have largely displaced hard disk drives (HDDs) in client ...

Persistent storage is an essential requirement of all computer systems. It provides the ability for data to be retained across server reboots where data in memory would normally be lost. For the past ...

NVMe drives are the fastest storage solution you can use in modern computing, and are the best SSDs available. Not only that, they’re small and slim, they require no additional power or data cables, ...

Legacy spinning media will live alongside SSDs with the new non-volatile memory express 2.0 protocol that addresses the needs of HDDs. The new NVM Express 2.0 has been released and with it a surprise: ...

SATA and SAS are two serial connections protocols between hosts and peripherals in desktops, servers, and other applications. The protocols are similar in terms of data rate and signal requirements ...

SSDs (solid-state drives) are rapidly becoming the storage method of choice. With this changing of the guard from hard-disk drives to SSDs, there is a need for different connections than are used for ...

With cloud computing all the rage, Cadence's verification IP is primed for functional verification of systems based on the 12-Gbit/s SAS and NVM Express protocols. Participation in standards working ...

2017 is the year that NVMe interfaces running on the PCIe bus become mainstream. All the flash memory component and systems companies at the Flash Memory Summit were focused on NVMe products and ...

This year’s Flash Memory Summit (FMS) could be called the Summit of NVMe. NVMe is based on PCI Express providing a memory access protocol to non-volatile memory (NVM). This is typically flash memory, ...

Leading-edge technologies, including NVMe, storage class memory, and intent-based storage management, promise to change the way IT organizations store, manage and use data. For decades, storage ...

NVMe is no longer a nice-to-have storage technology—if you’re shopping for a new PC, it’s a feature you should actively seek out. Moreover, if your PC is of fairly recent vintage, you should upgrade ...
