A flurry of new standards activity has opened a wide range of choices for solid-state drives
(SSDs). Client devices are adopting new approaches quickly to gain advantages in density
and performance. Evaluating the technology choices in a sea of acronyms – including AHCI,
HHHL AIC, M.2, mSATA, NVMe, U.2, and V-NAND – means exploring three issues: form factors,
interfaces, and software support. Aligning the latest technology onboard, M.2 SSDs free users
from limits of earlier generations.
mSATA was developed
specifically for SSD modules,
borrowing its 51x30mm low-
profile outline from the PCI
Express (PCIe) Mini Card form
factor popular in laptops.
For compatibility with more
systems, mSATA replaced the
PCIe interface with SATA 3.0,
but users have already run
into performance limits. Three
other form factors for SSDs
have turned to PCIe to deliver
performance users want.
2.5” drives with the new U.2
(formerly SFF-8639) connector
are well suited for enterprise
drive farms with PCIe, SATA,
or SAS controllers. In hot-
swappable, front-removable
applications, 2.5” drives with
U.2 connectors work well. Client
devices can cable PCIe slots to
a 2.5” U.2-enabled drive with an
adapter.
PCIe Half-Height, Half-Length
Add-In Card (HHHL AIC)
provides PCIe interface speeds
on a relatively large 167x111mm
card. These are simple to
install in a PCIe slot, but resting
perpendicular to a backplane or
riser card the overall system size
ends up more suited for servers
than for clients.
All three approaches – mSATA,
2.5” drives with U.2 connectors,
and PCIe HHHL AIC – are
space-inefficient for today’s
client devices. Thin, compact
platforms such as tablets, 2-in-
1s, game consoles, and NUC-
like machines present a new
challenge. Succeeding mSATA,
which achieves density but lacks
performance, is a new
specification released at the end
of 2013: M.2.
M.2 modules provide more
choice of sizes and interfaces,
at typically less than 1/10 the
weight of a 2.5” hard drive.
Optimized and larger layouts
give M.2 more capacity than
mSATA modules. Available PCIe,
SATA, USB, and other interfaces
support many functions –
including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4G
LTE modems, and SSDs, making
the M.2 form factor versatile and
increasingly popular.
