DirectStorage will only be available on Windows 11 (per Microsoft right now-this could change).I've been following DirectStorage fairly closely and can clear up some misconceptions: The 10% rule is enforced on /r/hardware repeat offenders and/or your website or channel may be banned. Users who want to post links to their website should be aware of the reddit definition of spam and read this article concerning self promotion on reddit. No self-edtiorialized titles, just copy the title of the site, with the exception of clickbait titles. No submissions to crowdfunding sites or ongoing campaigns. No submissions to streaming sites outside of event megathreads. Any rumor or claim that is just a statement from an unknown source containing no supporting evidence will be removed. No unsubstantiated rumors - Rumors or other claims/information not directly from official sources must have evidence to support them. This includes 'What should I buy?', 'Does a _ do what I need?', 'How much is _ worth?' and 'How long until (something obvious) happens?' type questions. If your post asks a question about a specific product or need, it probably belongs elsewhere. We allow intelligent discussion posts, but this isn't the place to come for help. This includes "which should I get?" posts. These belong in /r/techsupport or /r/buildapc. Top level comments must be substantive and contain more than 20 characters. Images submitted as self posts must include an informative description for context. Memes, direct image links, and low effort content will be removed. No memes, jokes, or direct links to images Do NOT editorialize the title of the submission (minor changes for clarity may be acceptable). Please use the "suggest title" button for link submissions, or copy the title of the original link. Posts should be about hardware news, reviews, technical discussion or how-tos and buyers guides. Insults and personal attacks aren't welcome here. TL DR: If you can't say something respectfully, don't say it at all.
This includes tech support and PC building questions. r/hardware is not the place to come for help of any kind. By combining the lossless, highly deterministic nature of Fibre Channel with NVMe, FC-NVMe delivers the performance, application response time, and scalability needed for next-generation data centers, while leveraging existing Fibre Channel infrastructures.The goal of /r/hardware is a place for quality hardware news, reviews, and intelligent discussion. Next-generation data intensive workloads are utilizing low-latency NVMe flash-based storage to meet ever increasing user demand.
With up to 25,600 MBps of aggregate line rate throughput, the QLogic 2700 Series Enhanced 32GFC & 32GFC and 2690 Series Enhanced 16GFC Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters offer high throughput and intelligent offloads that enable low-latency NVMe storage to scale out in the most efficient way possible, while simplifying design, reducing overhead and improving performance. Marvell QLogic adapters are enabling NVMe over Fibre Channel (FC-NVMe). What is NVME over Fibre Channel (FC-NVMe)? Benefits of NVMe-based storage drives include lower latency, deep parallelism and higher performance. NVMe provides a streamlined register interface and command set to reduce the I/O stack's CPU overhead by directly accessing the PCIe bus. NVMe is designed for use with faster media, such as solid-state drives (SSDs) and post-flash memory-based technologies. SCSI became a standard in 1986, when hard disk drives (HDDs) and tape were the primary storage media. NVMe is an alternative to the Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) standard for connecting and transferring data between a host and a peripheral target storage device or system. NVM Express (NVMe®) is a new and innovative method of accessing storage media and has been capturing the imagination of data center professionals worldwide.
