It's fucking wild to me the trajectory here: OpenChannelIO: stop making such absurd totalizing systems that hide the actual flash! We don't need your fancy controllers! Just give us a bunch of flash that we can individually talk to & control ourselves from the host! You leave so much performance on the table! There's so many access patterns that wouldn't suck & would involve random rewrites of blocks! Then after years of squabbling, eventually: ok we have negotiated for years. We will build new standards to allow these better access patterns that require nearly no drive controller intermediation, that have exponentially higher degrees of mechanistic sympathy of what flash actually does. Then we will never release drives mainstream & only have some hard to get unbelievably expensive enterprise drives that support it. You are so f-ing spot on. This ZNS would be perfect for lower reliability consumer drives. But: market segmentation. The situation is so fucked. We are so impeded from excelling, as a civilization, case number nine billion three hundred forty two.
