Integrating a solid state drive (SSD) into a data store is expected to improve its I/O
performance. However, there is still a large difference between the price of an SSD and a …

When applications require high I/O performance, solid-state drives (SSDs) are often
preferable because they perform better than traditional hard-disk drives (HDDs). Therefore …

As Solid State Disk (SSD) drive technology matures and costs continue to decrease, it is
becoming a viable replacement for traditional, rotational hard disk drives. SSDs are based …

Solid State Drives (SSDs) are complex devices with varying internal implementations,
resulting in subtle differences in behavior between devices. In this paper, we demonstrate …

Market research firm Aberdeen Group found that data growth has averaged about 35
percent annually in recent years, as Figure 1 shows. According to Aberdeen senior research …

Nowadays the use of solid state drives (SSDs) is a reality for storing large databases. SSDs
are capable to provide IOPS rates up to three orders of magnitude greater than the rates …

Recently, there has been a renewed interest of in-storage computing in the context of solid
state drives (SSDs), called" Smart SSDs." Smart SSDs allow application-specific code to …

In this paper, we develop a family of methods to characterize the behavior of new-generation
Solid State Disks (SSDs). We first study how writes are handled inside the SSD by varying …

Solid state disks (SSDs) provide much faster random access to data compared to
conventional hard disk drives. Therefore, the response time of a database engine could be …

Solid-state drives are becoming a viable alternative to magnetic disks in database systems,
but their performance characteristics, particularly those caused by their erase-before-write …
