- SCALEFLUX CSD 5320 SSD Integrates compression engines directly into hardware for greater efficiency
- Sequential writing speeds exceed 13 GB/s when compressible business data are handled
- The random IOPS performance is close to 3.3 million in specific business workloads
Scaleflux has introduced CSD 5320, a solid state unit PCIE GEN5 Enterprise that depends largely on compression on the device.
Unlike traditional storage devices that simply write and read data, this model integrates compression and decompression engines directly into hardware.
The company argues that this design allows companies to store many more data than the physical NAND would normally allow, in some cases up to four times without processing.
CLAIMS AND PERFORMANCE TESTS
Scale flow claims by reducing the amount of physically written data, the device also aims to extend the resistance of the unit, which has been a persistent challenge for high performance flash storage.
Independent tests by Tweaktown Inform sequential writing speeds above 13 GB/s when it comes to compressible data.
This figure exceeds what has registered with many PCIE Gen5 competitors.
The sequential reading performance reached its maximum point to more than 14 GB/s, which is far beyond the typical expectations for an impulse in this class.
The random performance points also indicate figures that are close to 3.3 million IAP in certain workloads.
These numbers would put the CSD 5320 at the top of the current company results, which potentially placed it in containment for the fastest SSD on the market.
The CSD 5320 achieves more entry and exit operations by watt than many conventional competitors, and some evidence suggests that it has more than 3 times the writing efficiency of other GEN5 business units.
Although fast, the true advantage of this chip may be in how the use of energy against performance balances, particularly in data centers where energy budgets are already stretched.
The 7.68TB model is only an option in a line that varies up to 128 TB of physical NAND, with effective storage that reaches up to 256 TB when compression is taken into account.
This places this among SSD’s largest offers in the business segment, at least on paper.
Resistance statements are also aggressive, with a scale flow that suggests that compressible workloads can see up to six times the usable useful life compared to conventional Nand storage.
However, these projections depend completely on how compressibles are the data of a client really.
While the review reveals extraordinary performance, cautious business buyers will probably demand comprehensive long -term validation.
CSD 5320 could offer exceptional performance in the correct conditions, however, its real world value will depend less on the maximum reference points and more than their workloads are aligned with the promises that are made.
