Once again Chris is joined by Rick Kutcipal, board member with the SCSI Trade Association. It’s been four years since episode #74 when Rick provided an update on SAS 24Gb. This time, Rick has details of new features in 24Gb+. What does the “plus” mean in this context? While the bus speed may not be increasing, new features (+) are continually being added to the SAS protocol, hence the additional designation.
In this episode, Rick discusses some interesting enhancements to drive management, mainly driven by the demands of hyper-scalers. These include Command Duration Limits, Format with Presets and Logical Depopulation. There are also additional features still in discussion that may yet be added in future releases.
To learn more about the work of the SCSI Trade Association, hop over to www.scsita.org, or of course, simply listen to our next podcast after Flash Memory Summit 2023.
