AMD’s StoreMI Technology for Client PC Storage

Enmotus, Inc., a storage software company, announced that its first volume OEM partner, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD), is offering StoreMI technology, or store machine intelligence, as part of AMD’s 400-series chipset supporting AMD Ryzen desktop processors.

This chipset comes with a free download of the software to combine the speed of an SSD with the capacity of a HDD into a single, fast drive. StoreMI is based on the Enmotus FuzeDrive client software that has been available via the Enmotus website since January.

StoreMI technology allows end users to blend up to 256GB of performance storage, such as NVMe or SATA SSD, with high capacity SSD or HDD storage into a single automated Virtual SSD. Machine Intelligent Storage learns how you use your system and dynamically adapts to provide SSD performance for your active applications and stores less frequently accessed data on the capacity drive. Users who would like up to a 1TB tier of performance storage for their AMD powered systems can upgrade to the compatible Enmotus FuzeDrive software.

“We chose to partner with Enmotus on AMD StoreMI because they are a market leader in next generation machine intelligent storage technology for PCs that goes well beyond today’s simpler caching offerings,” said Kevin Lensing, corporate VP and GM, client computing, AMD. “StoreMI technology fits perfectly into AMD’s strategy to deliver smarter, faster and more feature-rich PC platforms, and we are delighted to be offering this to all of our 400 series chipset customers.”

“Our relationship with AMD is the foundation that supports our vision for enabling Machine Intelligence across all future PCs,” said Andy Mills, CEO of Enmotus. “Modern games and applications demand both performance and large amounts of capacity. Our software frees end users not only from making trade offs between performance and capacity but also eliminates the need to manage their storage across disparate storage devices.“

Derived from Enmotus’ server class virtual SSD technology, FuzeDrive and AMD’s StoreMI technology for PCs results in performance for gamers, creators and enthusiasts, automatically hot loading games and applications onto fastest storage without human intervention.

Furthermore, with the ability to create up to 32TB of intelligent bootable storage, users no longer have to worry about capacity anxiety – the fear of running out of disk space as new game downloads start to exceed 100GB.
