Jim Handy, Objective Analysis, on SSDs. Why 3D XPoint SSDs Will Be Slow. June 16, 2016. Something that has been confusing a number of people is the performance of Intel’s 3D XPoint-based SSDs. Why are they so slow? Let me back up a little – they’re not really. But Intel and Micron have been boasting since its introduction that 3D XPoint Memory is 1,000 times as fast as NAND flash. How do you get from a 1,000 times speed advantage down to a speed improvement of only 7-8 times? March 24, 2016. Although the...

Jim Handy, Objective Analysis, on SSDs. Comparing DWPD to TBW. June 1, 2015. A couple of specifications for SSD endurance are in common use today: Terabytes Written (TBW) and Drive Writes Per Day (DWPD). Both are different ways to express the same thing. It seems that one vendor will specify endurance using TBW, while another will specify DWPD. How do you compare the two? Drive writes per day. March 1, 2013. One of the best arguments to use an SSD is also one of the most difficult ways to sell anything.

Covering Everything about Memory Chips. Intel Developer Forum – Not Much 3D XPoint Progress. August 24, 2016.

Those who were watching for that, though, were in for a disappointment. For readers who don’t remember, Intel and its partner, chipmaker Micron Technology, announced a new memory layer in July 2015.
