Solidigm D5-P5430 30.72TB E3.S Review: Gen4 QLC for Mixed Workloads

The Solidigm D5-P5430 is the mainstream tier of Solidigm’s QLC data center line. It’s the drive that sits below the capacity-maximizing D5-P5336 and carries a smaller indirection unit for the mixed and small-block write workloads a 16KB-IU drive handles poorly. We reviewed the 15.36TB P5430 at launch in 2023, when the story was the jump

Datadobi Data Access Governance Hits GA in StorageMAP, Mapping Who Can Access Unstructured Data

Datadobi has made Data Access Governance (DAG) generally available in StorageMAP, giving organizations visibility into who has access to their unstructured data and whether that access aligns with corporate policy. DAG surfaces access permissions across fragmented unstructured data environments so administrators can detect misaligned permissions, reduce cyber exposure, and enforce governance at scale. Permission Visibility
