Confused by this comment. NVMeoF is about tunneling the NVMe command set over a network, instead of tunneling SCSI over IP or Fibre Channel, when communicating with a NAS-like device; not about plugging an ethernet cable to the SSD.
- wtallis 5y agoThere are also native Ethernet SSDs that speak NVMeoF. Marvell is a big supporter of that idea since they make Ethernet switch chips but not PCIe switch chips. They make a NVMe/PCIe to Ethernet converter chip that can be used on small interposer boards between drives and the backplane or integrated into the drive itself.
