- ByThyGrace 4y agoInteresting. How modern are we talking here? Is this a "devil's in the details" kind-of feature?
- blibble 4y agodrives since 2018 or so it's marketed by Microsoft as "direct storage"
- toast0 4y agoTurns out a sata storage controller can do that too, Microsoft has been adding support for that too. GPU decompression is also a thing though, so compression is still a way to save I/O.
