Storbyte announced it has solved the solid-state storage ‘write cliff’ problem without the overprovisioning or complex workarounds required by flash array vendors.
Write-cliff conditions are all too familiar to flash storage manufacturers, as is the common performance and endurance deficiencies it causes in all SSDs. When the cells/pages within a drive begin to reach 40% to 50% capacity, the users will begin to recognize a decrease in performance. The performance of flash memory will decrease due to an internal process called garbage collection, a direct result of managing partially populated pages within the flash memory blocks, identifying and redistributing data from partially populated pages.
