Micron releases X100 SSD with 3D XPoint Technology - Sequential access up to 9GB/sec
Micron today announced the Micron X100 SSD. The Micron X100 SSD is the first solution in a family of products from Micron targeting storage- and memory-intensive applications for the data center.
These solutions will leverage the strengths of 3D XPoint™ technology and usher in a new tier in the memory-to-storage hierarchy with higher capacity and persistence than DRAM, along with higher endurance and performance than NAND.
duct brings the disruptive potential of 3D XPoint technology to the data center, driving breakthrough performance improvements for applications and enabling entirely new use cases,” said Micron Executive Vice President and Chief Business Officer Sumit Sadana. “Micron is the only vertically-integrated provider of DRAM, NAND and 3D XPoint solutions in the world, and this product continues the evolution of our portfolio towards higher value solutions that accelerate artificial intelligence capabilities, drive faster data analytics and create new insights for our customers.”
Micron X100 SSD — Performance for the Cloud and Data Center
With a combination of industry-leading high bandwidth, low latency, high quality of service (QoS) and high endurance, the Micron X100 SSD provides game-changing performance for big data applications and transactional workloads. The Micron X100 SSD accelerates data center applications by delivering larger amounts of data in real time, and it dramatically increases the speed of data transactions while maintaining predictably fast service for quicker time to insights.
- High-performance local storage — offers up to 2.5 million input/output operations per second (IOPs), more than three times faster than today’s competitive SSD offerings
- Industry’s highest bandwidth — has more than 9GB/s bandwidth in read, write and mixed modes and is up to three times faster than today’s competitive NAND offerings
- Ultralow latency — provides consistent read-write latency that is 11 times better than NAND SSDs
- Application acceleration — enables two to four times the improvements in end-user experience for various applications with prevalent data center workloads
- High-performance in small size storage — eliminates the need for overprovisioning storage for performance
- Ease of adoption — because the Micron X100 SSD uses the standard NVMe interface, requires no changes to software to receive the full benefits of the product
The Micron X100 SSD will be in limited sampling with select customers this quarter.

Of course I don't know why you need it, that's why I'm asking. I'm well aware my personal needs don't need better latency; I'm asking why you need it. Why can't you just give me a straight answer? All I'm asking for is 1 example, and Crystal is not a real-world example. Considering how many times you work around the question, I'm beginning to think it is actually you who doesn't know what it is, which in turn means you too don't need it.
Yes:

A single drive obviously will lose a substantial amount of speed for sequential read/write, but you can see how the randoms are significantly improved over a multi-drive setup. In this context, that is a result of latency. The added latency is caused at the software level, so, there's not much you can do to speed it up other than to just use fewer drives. Even if Micron's new Xpoint has better latency (which again, we're probably talking nanoseconds of difference here; that's not significant enough to care), putting the drives in RAID is going to negate the differences. But again... you haven't specified what it is you care so much about latency, so, does it even matter? Perhaps you benefit more from the faster sequential speeds, which I have a much easier time believing.
That picture are showing 314MB/s 4k random read @ QD=1 LOL

Considering how much you ostensibly "need" better latency, why is the QD1 performance all you care about? Surely, whatever this workload you have that needs all this performance would need to go to 4 or 32. Regardless, none of what I'm saying here is relevant if you're not actually doing any form of striped RAID (not sure if parity has any significant impact on latency). You haven't clarified if your drives are striped or not.
None of this changes the fact you're still dodging my question, so, I'm going to assume you really don't need drives with better latency (which is fine; I'm not ridiculing).

Yeah, it impacts it about the same. Pretty big hit, but easy to compensate for via caching (with ramdisks
). Also, this other fellow seems to be conflating latency with throughput.
