Flexible Data Placement

High-resiliency SSD architecture requires additional components, such as FDP and Latency Monitor

Vertically integrated high-resiliency elements include Flexible Data Placement (FDP) and OCP Storage Workgroup's Latency Monitor (LM)

From Version 1 to Version 2.5, OCP SSD specification has included resilience components

Meta and Google say NVMe may support FDP. When numerous apps write, change, and read data on the same device, WA decreases

Since Flexible Data Placement reduces garbage collection (GC), it makes sense that it would also reduce latency outliers

An 8TB Micron 7500 SSD was preconditioned to 1TB in this instance, and until the physical media filled and GC began, IOs were limited to that 1TB

Version 2 of the OCP Datacenter NVMe SSD Specification formalised Meta's efforts and critical demands with the SSD Latency Monitor
