SSD Drives Promise
SSD drives promise to enhance storage performance, but a new host-interface standard holds the key By Kam Eshghi http://www.networkworld.com/news/tech/2011/080811-ssd.html Flash-memory-based solid-state disks (SSDs) provide faster random access and data transfer rates than electromechanical drives and today can often serve as rotating-disk replacements, but the host interface to SSDs remains a performance bottleneck. PCI Express (PCIe)-based SSDs together with an emerging standard called NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory express) promises to solve the interface bottleneck. SSDs are proving useful today, but will find far more broad usage once the new NVMe standard matures and company's deliver integrated circuits that enable closer coupling of the SSD to the host processor. ANALYSIS: SSD could ultimately replace hard disk drives, Hitachi CTO says

Linux driver 0.6 released!
I released a new version of the Linux NVMe driver today. You can fetch it from http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/willy/nvme.git;a=summary I fixed a number of the review comments, including handling out-of-memory error conditions gracefully, supporting 32-bit userspace calling ioctl() with a 64-bit kernel and fixing the docbook comments to be real kerneldoc.
