SNIA Developer Conference September 15-17, 2025 | Santa Clara, CA
Abstract
Today all the EDSFF family of form factors share the same protocol (NVMe), the same interface (PCIe), the same edge connector (SFF-TA-1002), and the same pinout and functions (SFF-TA-1009). There is a vast diversity of Enterprise and Datacenter applications. This presentation, from the 2020 OCP Summit, explains how having a flexible and scalable family of form factors allows for optimization for different use cases, different media types on SSDs, scalable performance, and improved data center TCO. the specification. SFF-TA-1012 has been published to SNIA to show the breadth of the SFF-TA-1002 ecosystem, and provide pinout definitions for EDSFF SSDs (SFF-TA-1009), OCP NIC, Gen Z, PECFF, SNIA NVMe-oF ethernet drives, and future high speed devices.
