AMD’s StoreMI 2.0 software is coming, promising reduced loading times

Previously, StoreMI could be used to add SSD storage to mechanical HDD storage to deliver a fast hybrid storage solution. Furthermore, DRAM could be used as a fast cache for this hybrid storage pool, making the system even faster. 

With StoreMI 2.0, AMD says that a PCIe 4.0 SSD can accelerate application boot times by up to 31% and game loading times by up to 13% when compared to an HDD-only system. With a streamlined interface and new algorithms, AMD hopes that its new StoreMI solution will allow PC users to have SSD-level speeds and HDD levels of capacity.   

At this time, AMD’s only revealing the existence of StoreMI 2.0. More information about the software will be made available at a later date.
