FuzeDrive - Ryzen friendly soft for DRAM, SSD or Optane cache
  • FuzeDrive for AMD is Real-time Tiering software with Machine Intelligence. It blends 2 different classes of storage media (fast and capacity) into a single volume that appears to the operating system as the C: drive. Active data is automatically moved to your fast storage media and stored there and your inactive data is kept on the capacity storage. Your storage activity is dynamically monitored and learns how you use your system. The result is you get the performance benefits of your fast storage and the combined capacity of both the fast and capacity drives. Since it is fully automated, you do not need to worry about manually moving data between 2 drives.

    Unique is that you can also use Intel Optane as your tier drive, and all on AMD system.

    Machine Intelligence

    Combines your fast and slow storage drives as a single C: drive. Learns how you use your computer and adapts automatically to make sure performance is optimized.  Automatically moves frequently used data to the fast SSD tier and less frequently used data to the capacity tier.

    Flash Performance

    Your applications are served up from your fast storage media resulting in fast boot times, accelerated game loading and applications. Dynamic data movement means you no longer have to manually manage what drive to store you data on.

    Large Capacity

    Create virtual SSDs - vSSD - from 1TB-10TB in size with SSD performance.  Yes, you can have SSD performance and capacity too!

    Flexibility

    FuzeDrive for AMD allows you to mix any two storage media drives into a single vSSD with a performance tier and capacity tier.  Mix SSD with hard drives, or NVMe with SSD, or Optane with SSD or HDD.  You get the picture.

    To hide previous history and that it does not actually require new X470, AMD now calls it StoreMI

    ALISO VIEJO, Calif., April 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enmotus, a Machine Intelligent Storage software company, announced today that its first volume OEM partner, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), is now offering StoreMI technology, or Store Machine Intelligence, as part of AMD’s recently announced 400-series chipset supporting AMD Ryzen™ desktop processors. This chipset comes with a free download of the software to combine the speed of an SSD with the capacity of a hard drive into a single, fast, easy-to-manage drive. StoreMI is based on the Enmotus FuzeDrive™ client software that has been available via the Enmotus website since January.

    StoreMI technology allows end users to blend up to 256GB of performance storage, such as NVMe or SATA SSD, with high capacity SSD or HDD storage into a single automated Virtual SSD. Machine Intelligent Storage learns how you use your system and dynamically adapts to provide SSD performance for all of your active applications and stores less frequently accessed data on the capacity drive. Users who would like up to a 1TB tier of performance storage for their AMD powered systems can upgrade to the fully compatible Enmotus FuzeDrive software at www.enmotus.com/amd.

    “We chose to partner with Enmotus on AMD StoreMI because they are a market leader in next generation machine intelligent storage technology for PCs that goes well beyond today’s simpler caching offerings,” said Kevin Lensing, corporate vice president and general manager, client computing, AMD. “StoreMI technology fits perfectly into AMD’s strategy to deliver smarter, faster and more feature-rich PC platforms, and we are delighted to be offering this to all of our 400 series chipset customers”.

    “Our relationship with AMD is the foundation that supports our vision for enabling Machine Intelligence across all future PCs,” said Andy Mills, CEO of Enmotus. “Modern games and applications demand both performance and large amounts of capacity. Our software frees end users not only from making trade offs between performance and capacity but also eliminates the need to manage their storage across disparate storage devices,” added Mills.

    Derived from Enmotus’ server class Virtual SSD technology, FuzeDrive and AMD’s StoreMI technology for PCs results in superior performance for gamers, creators and enthusiasts, automatically hot loading games and applications onto the fastest storage available without human intervention. Furthermore, with the ability to create up to 32TB of intelligent bootable storage, users no longer have to worry about capacity anxiety – the fear of running out of disk space as new game downloads start to exceed 100GB.
