KIOXIA innovates a software-enabled flash-drive controller
KIOXIA America (formerly Toshiba Memory America) has announced what it calls Software-Enabled Flash (SEF), a new technology that adds software flexibility, host control and flash-native semantics into a flash-native API and purpose-built controller for flash drives.
Current solid-state disk (SSD) technology is evolved from hard-disk technology and the controllers basically operate much in the same way across the board, whether it’s a SATA drive for your laptop or an NVME over Fabric drive in a data center.
