Hi all, I was just wondering that the transition from 512bps and 520bps to (4096+128) bytes per sector is going to create a lot of storage enterprises or not? Mostly these enterprises developed software so very tightly coupled with sector size to provide resiliency from various kind of storage failures. I was just wondering on how difficult the transition would be have sectors (Pages) of (4096+128) in case of SSDs. Also, Is the relation between the performance of SLC and MLC just based on the difference in the number of bits stored per cell. Say for MLC NAND flash, is capable of storing 2 bits per cell, That means it will be 3 times slower than a SLC or there are other factors which makes the difference lesser. I read everywhere that the difference is not much in case of performance. -- Regards, Sandeep. “To learn is to change.
