Modernization of mobile storage
February 24, 2015
At the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL), we are fortunate to be able to follow technology developments in a number of areas, and watch as they go from sketches on a whiteboard to actual shipping products.
Sometimes these developments happen in their own bubbles, other times there are not so coincidental coincidences, where several industries are able to take advantage of technology originally developed for one community. We may be watching that happen right now as technologies...
New consumer Intel 750 NVMe SSD pops up in UNH-IOL compatibility list
February 3, 2015
UNH-IOL has announced during the third NVM Express Interoperability Plugfest that twelve products were added to the UNH-IOL (University of New Hampshire Interoperability Lab) NVMe 1.1b Integrators List. One item on the list that is sure to interest the enthusiast crowd is the Intel 750 SSD. News of the Intel 750 cropped up in a leaked roadmap, with release of the code-named 'August Ridge' product scheduled for Q4 of 2014. Of course, this time has passed.
OCZ Z-Drive 6000 NVMe PCIe SSD can do 3 GB per second
January 12, 2015
For a definite 'whaaat ?' moment check this out. Over at CES OCZ has put some cool stuff on display, though Enterprise datacenter oriented this little 3000 MB/sec performing puppy caught our attention.
OCZ Storage Solutions Z-Drive 6000 NVMe SSD on display at CES 2015
January 9, 2015
CES 2015 -OCZ Storage Solutions displayed the Z-Drive 6000 NVMe SSD in their suite at CES 2015. The Z-Drive 6000 sports speeds of 3,000 MB/s for sequential read and 2,000 MB/s for sequential write workloads. Random reads weigh in at an outstanding 700,000 IOPS, and random writes are equally impressive at 175,000 IOPS. The Z-Drive 6000 will provide 1-3 DWPD, which is becoming the standard for most datacenter SSDs, largely due to increased density. The Z-Drive 6000 utilizes the...
OCZ Storage Solutions Z-Drive 6000 SSD earns NVMe 1.1b certification
December 16, 2014
The world of NVMe is expanding at a rapid clip. More devices are becoming certified every week that support the optimized register interface, which radically boosts performance with non-volatile memory devices of all flavors. As outlined in our Defining NVMe Article, NVMe delivers on its promises and has the potential to revolutionize how we address flash storage.
Emerging NVM Express Spec Has Busy Year
December 15, 2014
TORONTO – NVM Express Inc. has been busy since its incorporation in March 2014.
Established as a working group under the guidance of Intel, it released the first NVM Express specification in March 2011. It outlines a standardized register interface, command, and feature set for PCIe-based storage technologies such as SSDs, designed specifically for nonvolatile memory. It is optimized for high performance and low latency, scaling from client to enterprise segments.
Interview: The future for NVMe technology, and how UNH-IOL advances its progress
November 19, 2014
Recent product announcements prove the NVMe (NVM Express) revolution is underway and is expected to continue with a wave of new products hitting the market in the coming months. Through its NVMe Testing Consortium, the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) gives subsystem vendors, silicon vendors, IP companies and enterprise storage companies an early, competitive advantage to test and prepare their NVMe products for market prior to the widespread introduction of NVMe SSDs.

Boot Testing for Flash Usability
November 4, 2014
Non-volatile flash memory (NVMe) has been used to increase the performance of high-end servers for years, notably pioneered by Fusion IO. Today, NVMe is becoming the preferred technology for flash storage and the all-flash datacenter. As NVMe adoption increases, other elements of usability will allow this technology to increase its reach beyond the datacenter, including its use as a boot device.
