SBExpress-RM4 (rackmount Gen4) test system

The IOL NVMe PCIe Plugfest is a powerhouse of the latest NVMe technology and the company helps NVMe drive vendors to ensure that the NVMe technology passing through their hardware, software and firmware is working properly and adhering to the latest NVMe specs. The firm’s released Gen4 system, the SBExpress-RM4, is on the forefront of PCIe Gen4 NVMe drive testing.

“We have successfully tested NVMe PCIe Gen4 and Gen3 drives with Intel, Seagate, Western Digital, and Phison,” said Vince Asbridge, president, SANBlaze. “SBExpress-RM4 testing allows NVMe SSD drive manufacturers to test their state-of-the-art drives in a real-world Gen4 environment with hot plug and power control. Witnessing our new SBExpress-RM4 system successfully testing Gen4 drives is a proud accomplishment for our team who has worked tirelessly to make this happen in record time.“

The company attended the IOL NVMe-oF Plugfest, testing manufacturers’ NVMe drives over Fabric including FC, TCP, and RoCE. The plugfest, coupled with plugfest for native NVMe (PCIe) is a testament to the firm for providing the latest technology to test ‘NVMe over Everything’

What’s next for Gen4?
The company has opened an invitation to any NVMe Gen4 drive manufacturer who wants to test their Gen4 drives using the SANBlaze SBExpress-RM4 for free at FMS August 6- th in Santa Clara, CA.

“Any FMS exhibitor with access to the FMS floor can pre-arrange with SANBlaze to test their Gen4 NVMe drives,” said Vince Asbridge. “This is an exclusive offer where we will test your Gen4 NVMe drives for free during a pre-arranged timeslot, after show hours, using our new SANBlaze SBExpress-RM4.“
