These are totally different. Let me explain. (SPONSORED)

Thanks to KIOXIA for sponsoring today's video! Check out their U.3 CM6 Enterprise SSD drives at https://lmg.gg/X9myK

Woah

Cool stuff, but the background music was incredibly distracting.

Didn't know they make SSDs for enterprise.

Random question, does anybody know what the piano background music at 6:02 on the video is, I've heard it on loads of videos and searched for ages but cannot find it to save my life

Didn't Toshiba have enterprise storage solutions?

I don't know if Toshiba had SSDs for Enterprise,but i do know they have hard drives for enterprise - which are still owned by TOSHIBA and sold under it's name.

Really cool

[Sacredsock]

So the successor to U.2 is U.3?

Are you paying attention USB people? This is how it should go

" okay then, what does all this mean for me the average consumer"

Ha! nice one.

No really.. I giggled.

I'm curious if that "thousand drive" scenario would just be a bunch of JBOD enclosures connected together with a crazy spaghetti of expander cables? But then it begs the question is there even a practical purpose for having that many drives connected to a single server - at those bottle-necked speeds - besides just having multiple petabytes of capacity. For redundancy I would want to split those out onto smaller/faster multiple servers and deploy online mirror servers as backup.

 

Maybe if I had "every single movie ever made" in 4K I could make the argument for a 8PB HTPC box that spits out it's contents at approx 60MB/s to watch on my single TV. But then I would also need the worlds biggest battery next to my house as a UPS

What even is the point of SAS when .2 and SATA ports exist?

In that case we'd be at USB 6 or 7 or something already given the fact that 3.2 Gen 1x1, Gen 2x1 and Gen 2x2 are just different revisions of the same standard and thus don't require a new version step. The naming became ad absurdum, but adding a full version number for a speed bump every few months is ridiculous. So no, that's not necessarily how it's supposed to go, at least in my opinion.

 

I'm not saying it needs to be a full integer step everytime, but an increasing number to reflect newer versions is easily read and understood.

I've often been wondering, why are the PCI expansion cards that allow access to the disks individually so much more expensive that the ones that offer HW raid? I understand that these HBA controllers that offer a lot of sharing of capacity and crazy expansion with expander modules are pricey, buy if I just want a simple pass-through and don't care much about latency or speed, is there some option for that?

[WillianS]

I'm having trouble to understand why you can't get ~6.9GB/s stated in their spec. It's not doing any raids, and it should be directly utilizing pice 4.0x4, how would it be bottlenecked by CPU as you stated in the video @~ 7:52.
