ScaleFlux introduces new SSD controller

ScaleFlux, a reference in computational SSD, shakes the market with its new SSD Controller, the SFX 5016. It marks a clear progress made by the company since the previous generation.

It continues to offer transparent block-level compression and delivers a performance boost as it supports PCIe Gen 5 with x4 host interface, 16 channels for NAND and 256TB. It supports TLC and QLC NAND from multiple vendors. I find also NVMe 2.0 specification support with FDP and Thin Provisioned Namespaces.

In terms of performance numbers, the new controller gives, the table below summarize pretty well these preliminary results.

I really hope we'll meet the ScaleFlux team during a future IT Press Tour to get a real company and product update especially on this.
