PCIe Disk Drive Needs New Tests?
August 5, 2014
With the upcoming release of PCIe Gen3 disk drive products using the SFF-8639 connector (due out this year), discussions at the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) naturally turn to how these products will be tested.
Samsung unveils datacenter NVMe solutions at the SSD Global Summit
July 10, 2014
The 2014 Samsung Global SSD Summit 2014 in Seoul, South Korea, was somewhat of an SSD nirvana. Samsung touted their industry-first 3D NAND (V-NAND), the first 3bit MLC SSDs for the datacenter (the 845DC EVO), the world's first M.2 SSD for the datacenter, and to top it all off we were finally able to take a peek at Samsung's NVMe offerings.

One of the things that we know about the technology sector is that from the time that a new, core product steps out of the lab it starts to build in complexity.
Testing Fuels The NVMe Revolution
June 18, 2014
Game-changing technologies are exciting. In a recent blog, Jim O'Reilly wrote that Non-Volatile Memory express (NVMe) was about to "revolutionize" the solid-state drive (SSD) industry in as radical a change as introduced by Fibre Channel in the 90s and SCSI in the 80s.

NVMe Poised To Revolutionize Solid-State Storage
April 21, 2014
File I/O stacks in operating systems are a great example for schools to teach Parkinson's Law, which says that software expands to use the resources available. Last time I counted, the current Linux stack with an attached SSD has a total of six or seven address translations. That's a huge software overhead, and you might be forgiven for wondering if the objective of the fastest I/O got lost in translation!
University of New Hampshire Plugfest Leads to Product Certification
April 1, 2014
The University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (NHU-IOL) provides interoperability and conformance testing for a wide range of network, telecommunications, storage products and technologies. Its recent NVM Express Interoperability Plugfest, which took place this past February, led to a number of devices finding certification through the New Hampshire group and NVM Express, a collection of more than than 90 companies that support non-volatile memory-based storage. NHU-IOL announced this week that products from Dell, Huawei, Intel, Mobiveil, PMC Sierra and Samsung...
