Computational Storage Devices (CSxes): Forget regular old SSDs, a whole new breed of SSDs is about to break through
The Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) has released the first edition of a new set of standards designed to clear the way for a new breed of storage products: CSxes.
Short for computational storage devices, CSxes differ from regular SSDs or hard drives in that they handle data processing on-board, minimizing bottlenecks created by the need to pass data between storage and the CPU, GPU and RAM.
The new standards issued by SNIA were created to encourage interoperability between the various CSDs currently under development, as well as supporting the work of software architects and other programmers.
These devices will likely cost more than SSDs, and with SSDs still ramping up on capacity and lowering costs, I think SSDs will be around a long time still.
