Hello Everyone,

Storage Swiss has completed another piece where Senior Analyst, George Crump, takes a look at PCIe SSDs and asks the question “Are all PCIe SSDs created equal?”

In the piece Storage Swiss explores why PCIe SSD performance matters, the importance of understanding your environment, use of the PCIe bus, data protection and talks about how OCZ’s PCIe SSDs address this:

“The hardware based controller architecture also lends itself to scalability. The ability to aggregate multiple controllers allows intensive workloads to be divvied up efficiently without impacting performance. Companies like OCZ are taking the multi-controller approach a step further by virtualizing the controller functions. This allows the demands of flash management to be spread evenly across multiple physical controllers, increasing performance and endurance.”

“Performance matters in solid state devices. However, not all PCIe SSDs are equipped to handle the demands of workloads that are highly parallel or that require high bandwidth. And fewer still are able to handle both workload types from a single board. The key for maximum, multi-workload performance is the method used to implement the controller technology and the number of controllers that are available to manage I/O traffic into and out of the NAND flash that make up those SSDs. A higher number of controllers also supports more flash and allows more data to be accepted via the PCIe bus.”
