Am I the only one who thinks Nvidia should make flash drives like their G Assist modules?

I'd definitely buy a flash drive that looked like that.

Main Rig:-

Ryzen 7 3800X | Asus ROG Strix X570-F Gaming | 16GB Team Group Dark Pro 3600Mhz | Corsair MP600 1TB PCIe Gen 4 | Sapphire 5700 XT Pulse | Corsair H115i Platinum | WD Black 1TB | WD Green 4TB | EVGA SuperNOVA G3 650W | Asus TUF GT501 | Samsung C27HG70 1440p 144hz HDR FreeSync 2 | Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS |

 

Server:-

Intel NUC running Server 2019 + Synology DSM218+ with 2 x 4TB Toshiba NAS Ready HDDs (RAID0)

I would totally get one.

 

Console peasants be like, "What's that flash drive?" And me be like

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

i would get one, they should ship with all refrence cards IMO

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

External SSD with active cooling. Essentially, a portable Steam drive that can be used over very long sessions. 

It can even sound like a micro wind turbine

Want to custom loop?  Ask me more if you are curious

I would buy that flash drive in a heartbeat. Imagine if they did sell it and added LEDs.

make sure its rgb!

 

 

i'd buy,provided its not overpriced coughs

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

I'd definitely like something like that. :) Hopefully it could be close to NVMe speeds (or at least as close as latest-gen USB will allow).

 

And now that I think about it more in depth... Maybe have several tiers, differentiated primarily by performance (and what the flash drives look like).

 

  • Tier A
    • Modeled after Tesla GPUs
    • Performance / Endurance: like Optane.  (I also just now thought of maybe a couple higher tiers with performance like DDR4 or Level 1 CPU cache, but that's getting a bit crazy, isn't it? ;))
    • Price: somewhere between Optane and DC-P3608 or 960 Pro, per GB.
  • Tier B
    • Modeled after the Pascal Quadro FE cards, like the P6000.
    • Performance: similar to high-end Intel Enterprise/Datacenter PCI-E SSDs
    • Endurance: like above bullet
    • Price: somewhat lower than Intel DC-P3608 per TB, but probably a little higher than Samsung 960 Pro.
  • Tier C
    • Modeled after the Titan XP FE
    • Performance: similar to decent NVMe SSDs
      • 3.5-4 GiB/s sequential read
      • 2-2.5 GiB/s sequential write
      • 350-450k random IOPS read
      • 300-400k random IOPS write
    • Endurance: similar to decent SSDs.  Consistently able to beat the 840 Pro in TechReport's SSD Endurance Experiment
    • Priced, per GB, around the Samsung 960 Evo.
  • Tier D
    • Modeled after the 1080 FE
    • Performance: like more budget-oriented NVMe SSDs
      • 2 GiB/s sequential read
      • 1.5 GiB/s sequential write
      • 225-250k random IOPS read
      • 200-225k random IOPS write
    • Priced, per GB, a bit less than the Intel 600p
  • Tier E
    • Modeled after the 1060 FE
    • Performance like decent SATA SSDs
      • 500-550 MiB/s sequential read/write
      • 90-100k random IOPS read/write
    • Priced, per GB, similar to the Crucial MX300, WD Blue, etc.
  • Tier F
    • Modeled after the EVGA 1050
    • Performance maybe like budget SATA SSDs, or fairly decent current USB flash drives
      • 300-350 MiB/s sequential read/write
      • 50-60k random IOPS read/write
    • Priced, per GB, a bit higher than a spinning-platter 7200rpm datacenter/enteprise HDD (or ones like WD Gold, Red Pro, Seagate IronWolf Pro, etc)
  • Tier G
    • Modeled after ???
    • Performance:
      • 100-200 MiB/s sequential read/write
      • 20-30k random IOPS read/write
    • Priced, per GB, similar to consumer-grade 5400rpm HDDs (like WD Green/Blue, etc)

 

 

 

Okay, if you want to simplify it a little, you could maybe just do Tier C, something between D and E (modeled after the 1080 FE), and F (modeled after the 1060 FE). :)

Okay, if you want to simplify it a little, you could maybe just do Tier C, something between D and E (modeled after the 1080 FE), and F (modeled after the 1060 FE). :)

You could pretty easily (though not cheaply) do your tier B and lower ideas.

 

Tier B and C you'd need to do over thunderbolt 3 using a TI controller with 4x PCIe. Latency would be slightly longer than native PCIe, but not substantially.

 

Tier D you could do easily over traditional USB 3.1gen2, and E, F and G could easily be achieved over USB 3.1gen1.

 

Your Tier A would be trickier. In part because there's not really any external interface for >4x PCIe 3.0. In part because Optane/QuantX/3D-xPoint is being sold in *very* small quantities right now.

Why would you want a flash drive based off the 8800gtx? xD

Pretty sure he meant the Tesla branding not the Tesla Microarchitecture. Like this is the Tesla P100:

I think that they should add one of those pen drivers if you buy a FE card, like if you buy a 1070 FE you win a little 1070FE Pen drive, a 1080, 1080ti and Titan XP, imagine how much easy would be bragging rights to just show off your mini Titan XP FE Pen drive xD
