SASSATANVMe
SASSATANVMe is a proposed storage interface and protocol intended to unify characteristics of SATA-based drives with NVMe-based storage to improve data transfer efficiency in enterprise environments. The concept envisions a single command and data path capable of addressing both legacy SATA devices and high-performance NVMe storage, while preserving backward compatibility for existing systems.
Origin and status: The term appears in technical discussions and whitepapers from academic and industry groups
Technical approach: SASSATANVMe would rely on a translation or bridging layer that maps legacy SATA commands
Applications and impact: In theory, SASSATANVMe could simplify storage architectures, reduce software complexity, and extend NVMe-style
