Abstract

Should SSDs supporting power states higher than the maximum TDP dissipation supportable in a system? Many industry standards for drive form factors are targeting

  • Burst power about maximum TDP power with thermal margin offers enhanced storage latency upside
  • Terminology around thermal power, average electrical power, and peak electrical power are all measured in Watts but measure very different attributes
  • There are options to support Gen6x4 performance and latency to real workloads within a 25W form factor
