The Open Compute Summit is a yearly meeting of the Whose Who of the data center world. It’s put on by the four-year-old Open Compute Project, and serves as a platform for both sharing data center hardware designs and showcasing new products. This year, Seagate is demonstrating PCI Express-based SSDs capable of up to 10GB/s of throughput (and it’s safe to bet that this refers to sequential read speeds).
This new drive will use the NVMe protocol, but the company hasn’t released much in the way of details as to what powers the drive
the drive is likely using a four-way PCI Express switch combined with four of its Nytro XM1440 controllers. If that’s true, it punches some holes in Seagate’s claim that its new 10GB/s monster is 4GB/s faster than the next-fastest solution. Multi-controller architectures are common in the high-end SSD world, and already offer performance in excess of 10GB/s.
