Korean researchers discovered a vulnerability in solid-state drives that enables malware to infect an SSD's empty over-provisioning partition directly. This enables the malware to be practically ...

The over-provisioning of NAND flash memory in solid state drives (SSDs) and flash memory-based accelerator cards (cache) is a required practice in the storage ...

Solid-state drives contain more NAND than is required to meet the listed capacity on the box. The reasoning for this is that the controller requires some of it for garbage collection and to replace ...

LSI has confirmed that it is finally allowing its solid-state controller customers to disable the extra over-provisioning normally associated with its SandForce parts in order to boost storage ...

When an SSD is developed it will consist of standard memory chips. They come in 64GB, 128GB and 256GB capacities. However, many Sandforce powered drives up until now typically use some of that storage ...

The long-term benefits of cloud computing and software-defined everything are pretty well known: improved infrastructure flexibility, dynamic configuration and ultimately the complete virtualization ...

Businesses are over-provisioning and paying for cloud services they don't need because it's seen as a necessary cover when deploying a cloud-based service. That's according to research by cloud ...
