HGST has demonstrated a new architecture for SSDs that utilises a combination of HGST's new, latency-optimised interface protocols with next-generation non-volatile memory components

The SSD demonstration utilises a PCIe interface and delivers three million random read IOs per second of 512 Bytes each when operating in a queued environment and a random read access latency of 1.5 microseconds in non-queued settings, delivering results that cannot be achieved with existing SSD architectures and NAND Flash memories. This performance is orders of magnitude faster than existing Flash based SSDs, resulting in a new class of block storage devices.

"This technology is the result of several years of research and advanced development aimed at delivering new levels of acceleration for enterprise applications," said Steve Campbell, chief technology officer, HGST. "The combination of HGST's low-latency interface protocol and next-generation non-volatile memories delivers unprecedented performance, and creates exciting opportunities for new software and system architectures that HGST is exploring with our customers and industry partners."
