Peak sequential reads reach over 14GB/s, surpassing most PCIe Gen5 drives
ScaleFlux CSD 5320 SSD integrates compression engines directly into hardware for greater efficiency
Sequential write speeds exceed 13GB/s when handling compressible enterprise data
Random IOPS performance approaches 3.3 million in specific enterprise workloads
ScaleFlux has introduced the CSD 5320, a PCIe Gen5 enterprise solid-state drive that relies heavily on on-device compression.
Unlike traditional storage devices that simply write and read data, this model integrates compression and decompression engines directly into the hardware.
The company argues this design enables enterprises to store much more data than the physical NAND would normally allow, in some cases up to four times the raw capacity.Performance claims and testing
ScaleFlux claims by reducing the amount of data physically written, the device also aims to extend drive endurance, which has been a persistent challenge for high-performance flash storage.
