存储设备/接口/传输协议总结

手动搜集资料,不敢保证无误,如有错误,恳请指正。


1. 设备

最新的3D XPoint存储器比DRAM慢10倍,便宜2倍;比NAND FLASH快1000倍,贵5倍左右,性能比其他PCIe和NVMe的SSD快10倍左右。并且它是一种NVM。

Type Volatile? Writeable? Erase Size Max Erase Cycles Cost (per Byte) Speed
SRAM Yes Yes Byte Unlimited Expensive Fast
DRAM Yes Yes Byte Unlimited Moderate Moderate
Masked ROM No No n/a n/a Inexpensive Fast
PROM No Once, with a device programmer n/a n/a Moderate Fast
EPROM No Yes, with a device programmer Entire Chip Limited (consult datasheet) Moderate Fast
EEPROM No Yes Byte Limited (consult datasheet) Expensive Fast to read, slow to erase/write
Flash No Yes Sector Limited (consult datasheet) Moderate Fast to read, slow to erase/write
NVRAM No Yes Byte Unlimited Expensive (SRAM + battery) Fast

2. 接口

2.1 分类和发展

(P)ATA(Parallel AT Attachment)/IDE(Integrated Drive Electronics) --> SATA(Serial ATA) --> mSATA(mini-SATA) --> SATAe(SATA Express)

SCSI(Small Computer System Interface) --> SAS(Serial Attached SCSI)

PCIe

NGFF(Next Generation Form Factor, M.2)
  • mSATA / PCIe / NGFF 一般都是用于NVM(如SSD),不用于HDD。

  • mSATA慢于SATA,但是接口和体积大大减小。

  • NGFF是最新的,同时比mSATA更小,也是最快的。

  • SATAe接口兼容SATA和PCIe

2.2 速度:

NGFF > PCIe > SAS > SATA > SCSI > ATA/IDE

3. 协议

IDE, AHCI和NVMe等都是传输协议,它们在传输接口(PCIe, SATA, ATA等)之上工作。

  • IDE(Integrated Drive Electronics)是IDE接口的一种“协议”,它表示磁盘控制器集成到了硬件驱动器中,无需host进行移动磁道臂等低层次的控制。

  • AHCI(Advanced Host Controller Interface)一般用作SATA盘的协议,不过也有些情况SATA盘用IDE协议(老版本的Windows中默认的IDE/legacy模式就是这样)来模拟。

  • SAS的协议向下兼容SATA盘。

  • NVMe支持PCIe接口或者NGFF接口的盘。
