The FMDs do away with this issue by removing the housekeeping tasks from the IO path.\u003cbr\u003eThe flash controller monitors the number of writes, erasures and refreshes to eliminate these imbalances by balancing the rate of deterioration in the flash memory cells.

It combines MLC NAND flash and a SAS interface with a custom ASIC controller for superior flash performance. The FMD form factor is larger than traditional SSD and therefore is available in capacities of 1.7 TB, 3.5 TB, 7 TB and 14 TB. They are configurable in a variety of RAID types in the same fashion as other drives and is compatible with all XP7 firmware and software features. The XP7 Flash Module Device supports wear levelling. In a flash memory each write or erase cycle stresses the cell which in turn causes deterioration of the cell over time. This might cause an imbalance in the cell activity which creates an irregular distribution of these unstable cells thereby impacting the life of flash. The flash controller monitors the number of writes, erasures and refreshes to eliminate these imbalances by balancing the rate of deterioration in the flash memory cells. This helps in extending the useful lifetime of flash.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Flash Module Device (FMD) unique to HPE XP7 is the driver for industry-leading performance and is designed for those customers seeking the ultimate in storage performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe unique form factor of the FMD allows much higher connect bandwidth to the actual flash devices.
