Zoned Namespace and NVM Express Testing for Solid-state Storage Devices

15 December 2020 – Teledyne LeCroy announced the release of SVF Pro/Enduro v4.6 software with support for testing Zoned Namespace (ZNS) and NVM Express (NVMe) v1.4 solid-state storage devices. The SVF Pro/Enduro v4.6 software for OakGate test tools enables SSD suppliers to verify performance and compliance for their state-of-the-art NVMe storage devices.

NVMe v1.4 SSDs, utilizing ZNS technology, provides several capabilities not available from traditional NVMe SSDs, including reduced write amplification, media over-provisioning, and internal controller DRAM usage. These capabilities improve throughput and latency while reducing the need for over-provisioning of NAND media, resulting in higher performance levels and a better return on investment. Teledyne LeCroy’s implementation of ZNS with I/O Exerciser in SVF Pro/Enduro software allows a much deeper and more effective method of validating the ZNS feature set than what is available on the market today.

“OakGate line of products is the leading SSD validation solution in the industry,” said Roy Chestnut, VP Products “and with the release of SVF Pro/Enduro v4.6 software, our customers can now thoroughly test their SSD devices for both ZNS and NVMe v1.4 specifications.”

SVF Pro / Enduro v4.6 is now available.
