Does the whole sector thing still make sense for SSDs? Do they still work by sector or can every byte be addressed directly?

- pstrateman 7y agoThe "native" sector size of an SSD is the erasure block size, typically 64KiB.
- vardump 7y agoI'm fairly sure SSD erase block sizes are more like 2 MB or more. Even 8 MB wouldn't surprise me anymore.
- rpearl 7y agocurrent SSDs are page/block oriented, but that's likely to change. (See intel's relatively recent Optane).
