Draft Technical Work for Public Review
During the development of technical work, SNIA may make available a Work-in-Progress DRAFT version for public review & feedback. Work-in-Progress DRAFTS are not endorsed by SNIA for commercial shipping product implementation, but rather for review/feedback and prototyping work to ensure the work, when completed, will meet the needs of the Industry.
Work-in-Progress DRAFTS are subject to change. The Work-in-Progress DRAFT may be updated, replaced, or made obsolete at any time. Some of the Intellectual Property protections for users of SNIA software and specifications are not applicable to users of Work-in-Progress DRAFTs.

Smart Data Accelerator Interface (SDXI) Specification v1.0.3r5
The Smart Data Accelerator Interface (SDXI) is a standard for a memory-to-memory Data Mover and acceleration interface.
DNA Stability Evaluation Method for DNA Data Storage Containment Systems v0.9r5
This specification defines a standard procedure to measure and a standard metric to characterize the molecular stability of DNA in a DNA Data Containment System (DCS) so that a DCS being considered as a part of a DNA data storage solution can be objectively compared, in terms of how effectively the DCS protects the media, vs. other DCSs being so considered.
Computational Storage Architecture and Programming Model v1.0.4
This SNIA document defines recommended behavior for hardware and software that supports Computational Storage.
SNIA Emerald™ Power Efficiency Measurement Specification for Data Center Storage Devices v0.0.36
This document describes a standardized method to assess the power efficiency of storage devices used in data center applications in both active and idle states of operation. A taxonomy is defined that classifies storage devices in terms of operational profiles and supported features.
Test definition and execution rules for measuring the power efficiency of each taxonomy category are described; these include test sequence, test configuration, instrumentation, benchmark driver, IO profiles, measurement interval, and metric stability assessment. Resulting power efficiency metrics are defined as ratios of idle capacity or active operations during a selected stable measurement interval to the average measured power.
