I just hope GPU manufacturers this time actually implement the full specs and we don't get another "PCIe 4 has been out for years... let's implement resizable BAR like it's a grand new feature we are bestowing to people! Nevermind it was already in PCIe 3.0 specs."

[@photonboy999]

?? How do you reduce the number of I/O controllers with bifurcation? a) If I have a "x8" PCIe slot and connect a PCIe adapter that has two, M.2 SSD slots then I still have one SSD controller per SSD. b) you said "hard drives" but I wasn't sure if you meant HDD's or SSD's... but if you mean HARD DRIVES then why exactly do you need bifurcation for this? If you want the full bandwidth of a PCIe slot to handle, say, EIGHT HDD's then buy a controller that has eight SATA connections. No need to bifurcate a "x8" connection into "x4x4" and run that way (plus you'd then be running TWO SATA controllers off of each "x4" lane for this to work in which case you've INCREASED the number of SATA controllers) c) PCIe v5.0 That is coming to desktop but I'd expect some motherboards to have it for the top M.2 SSD slot only, or just add more USB Type-C etc off of the chipset. Possibly add PCIe v5.0 to just the "x16" (graphics card) slot but probably not the entire board due to the engineering challenges that add cost to something almost nobody would benefit from.

It's just optimizing the data moves to save cell read/writes. The fragmentation made it harder to move one block of data, because that block could be in multiple "movable parts", so you'll need more headroom to shuffle around, and also more time.

[@lvalentin91]

So mechanical Defrag did something similar and when solid state came out it was advertised as no more defrag. Now there’s defrag I’m solid state… cool

it isn't defrag, it is not fragmenting in first place you still don't want to defragment most SSDs because benefits are tiny and you are just making it wear out more quickly by doing it but not getting it fragmented? that's a perfect solution

[@dirkvandaele4466]

@ Defrag or not fragmenting: the same difference. The reason why is also the same: faster and less wear and tear. The details may change, but it is the same logic. Now that I'm thinking about it: is this not how books are stored in libraries for the same reasons?

@@dirkvandaele4466 no it isn't, if you fragment the disk, then during defragmentation, you wear it down more than if you did not defragment and left it as is... if you not fragment in first place, there is no unnecessary wear down

defragging on ssds is still a thing, windows will just handle it differently by only defragging it every month rather than every week and will also incorporate TRIM (hence why its called defrag and optimise and not just defrag nowadays)

XPoint has 2 problems - price (a lot of that is simply cause it does not have the large scale of production), and the way the data is transferred once it has been provided by the optane-module.

Storing data in crystals or some other media - the tech has been developed, the storage-density was quite decent, but that's about it. The Crystal-approach is still being used, but it is very expensive, incredible slow in comparison, and single-write only - but great for long-term storage. It is just that flash-memory in general has become way cheaper and faster to the point that right now it is, together with HDDs for bulk and longer storage, the best option.

[@SuperSmashDolls]

Another reason why you'd want NVMe hard drives is because... of Shingled Magnetic Recording. SMR drives have terrible performance problems because they have the same overwrite limitations as flash storage... but with far less IOPS to play with, because it's gotta move a physical headstack over a spinning disk. So they wind up being unacceptably slow when they have to do literally any read-modify-write. The Zoned Namespaces feature, AFAIK, was actually cribbed from the SATA/SAS specs for host-aware SMR because it just so happened to be a useful abstraction for flash media as well. Also, I have no clue if any OS actually can take advantage of zones yet.

[@Trifler500]

I'm surprised they didn't mention the announcement by motherboard manufacturers that they plan on phasing out SATA ports and replacing them M.2 ports that can connect 2.5" and 3.5" that have M.2 interfaces using a cable. This means that NVMe 2.0 supporting hard drives will be important for all hard drives, not just the faster ones, simply because there won't be any SATA ports anymore. I mean, you could install a SATA controller card, but let's not go there.

[@farahc3342]

As usual, great video guys, just a quick little note though (hopefully someone reads this :) ) The little slide that's on the video about USB revisions has a couple of bits of misinformation. The connectors that are labelled as USB Mini and USB Micro are in fact Mini B and Micro B, and the one labelled as USB Micro B, while correct, it's specifically the revision for USB 3.0. I know it doesn't make much difference and I'm probably just splitting hairs, but I thought it would be ok to point it out.

Storing data sequentially is probably a bigger advantage the more bits you store per cell (MLC, TLC, QLC, PLC). Thus NVME 2 should help counteract the degradation in speed and longevity that comes with using Multi-level cells.

So does this new standard require motherboard support? CPU support? Or can you plug a NVMe 2.0 into any NVMe slot? Add to that. Does this require software support? Or does the OS just bunch all data from a program together automatically?

Modern SSDs don't need to be over-provisioned the same way as old ones did; incoming data is buffered into the onboard ram before writing to flash.
