Enable Sustained 11,000MB/s Recording with DG’s NVMe Gen5 IP & Enterprise SSD

Why Sustained High-Speed Storage Matters

For applications like AI, high-frequency trading, and next-gen data centers, storage bottlenecks can cripple performance. Many SSDs claim high speeds but falter when subjected to sustained write workloads. The culprit? Consumer SSDs rely on caching techniques that degrade performance over time.

The Problem: Performance Drop in Consumer SSDs

Consumer Gen5 SSDs initially deliver impressive speeds, but once the SLC cache fills up, performance nosedives. In our real-world FPGA testing:

✅ Enterprise Gen5 SSD (U.2) maintained 11 GB/s sustained write speed even after 6.4 TB of data.
❌ Consumer Gen5 SSD (M.2) dropped to 3.2 GB/s after just 233 GB.

This proves that only enterprise-grade SSDs can handle continuous, high-speed recording without slowdowns.

Real Test Results:
• The Enterprise SSD maintained 11 GB/s even after transferring 6.4 TB of data
• The Consumer SSD dropped to just 3.2 GB/s after writing 233 GB — Real Test Results

Why Enterprise SSDs Outperform in Sustained Recording?

Enterprise SSDs are designed for continuous performance, better thermal management, and higher NAND durability—ideal for demanding FPGA applications
