> This specification defines a class of SSDs named Open-Channel SSDs. They are different from traditional SSDs in that they expose the internal parallelism of an SSD and allow the host to manage them. Maintaining the parallelism on the host enables benefits such as I/O isolation, predictable latencies, and software-defined non-volatile memory management, that scales to hundreds or thousands of workers per terabyte.
I'd love to see something like Open Channel SSD's ( http://lightnvm.io/ , https://openchannelssd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ ) becoming mainstream.
