The Samsung PM1733 and PM1735 have a number of new technologies. First, Samsung is introducing what it calls fail in place which allows for an entire NAND die to fail and the drive continue to run. Second, Samsung is adding what it calls virtualization technology. This is really SR-IOV for the NVMe SSDs which is a major feature itself as it allows for up to 64 VMs to access the drives natively. We should note, that SR-IOV pass-through to VMs often impairs live migration efforts, but it is still an important technology. Lastly, the SSDs feature what Samsung calls V-NAND machine learning technology. This helps characterize different NAND cell characteristics. Samsung claims it is using big data analytics, but we think this is an important feature, but one that is using buzzwords to sound more exciting.
