About this tag
The pcie gen6 tag on WindowsForum.com follows early discussion of PCI Express 6.0 hardware and what it may mean for storage and servers. The available coverage centers on FADU's File-Semantic SSD, a Gen6 drive concept that handles file lookups, permission checks and file-to-flash mapping in firmware rather than on the host CPU.
