Why your SSD died – Exploring the PMIC
What is a PMIC SSDs can seem very robust in comparison to spinning drives, but surviving a drop is not the only risk to your data. An SSD is a complex device and there a whole host of failure points to be aware of. Today I want to take you through the PMIC (Power Management …
PCIe hot-plugging – A total pain. Or is it?
Due to social distancing, our engineers are working remotely with very occasional and controlled visits to the lab. This introduced a challenge: how could we give them access to hot-plug capable workstations at their home? We look at how to hot-swap PCIe Gen4 devices with a consumer-grade system.
PCIe 5.0: What you need to know and how you can test Gen5 devices
PCIe 5.0 aims to support the mainstream increase of data-heavy technologies such as cloud computing, 5G and AI. What makes Gen5 technically different to its predecessor, and what’s Quarch doing to help test its robustness?
