Computational storage SSDs come in two major formats: programmable and fixed-function. They have stark differences in feature set and market acceptance.
ScaleFlux produces two computational storage drives: one programmable (Computational Storage Device 3000) and one fixed-function (CSD 2000). The vendor positions the CSD 2000 as the only PCIe SSD to offer data-path compression and decompression, while it sells the CSD 3000 as a general-purpose computational storage device. […]
