(Interrupt throttling) happens on the smaller block sizes; anything up to 8-16KiB. I'm now thinking it is this throttling that might be hampering the performance with those small block sizes, as for the larger block sizes the performance is comparable to when power management is set to performance. Is there a way to circumvent the throttling other than changing the power mngmt setting to test this hypothesis? I'm hoping I'd be able to have power management set balanced and still have the higher performing log devices (total power draw goes up from ~140W to ~250W on idle)...

Even Optane would be burning out at that kind of write load I have to imagine.RMS-200 Quick Update, Was going to see if I could be there for when it hit 500pb but missed it by a little

Wow. I notice that techbuyer have one listed on Ebay UK, as a graphics card!!
Now gone

Apparently the auto-backup to flash functionality is disabled by default, and needs to be re-enabled on every boot. Auto-restore is also disabled by default but at least persists. I've requested access to the code/firmware, might need to go under NDA which will complicate things.
Hi,
Could you help me with some cli-utilities and/or linux drivers for NV16xx?
Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything usable and downloads from PMC's site are no longer availale (for instance, from the "documentation" tab at http://216.241.235.166/products/storage/flashtec_nvram_drives/nv1616/).
I would be grateful for any information, especially for a source code of utilities and/or drivers (for any OS), etc.
And another RMS-200... Not sure whether the total written is a concern (>800PB)... but got it cheap just to try out. Nothing tuned at all, just threw it into my trusty old HPE Microserver G8;

So up to 256kbytes ahead of @rshakin, thereafter I'm guessing there would be some BIOS tweaking needed. Leaving it alone as it will go into my DL380p next week.
I am wondering how you got it to that speed, but I think my system is set up to handle large files or maybe there is some kind of a tweak in there. What system did you test it on ?
