Not your Grandpa's SSD: The Era of Co-Designed Storage Devices

Summary: Not your Grandpa's SSD argues for co-designed storage that tailors capabilities to workloads, beyond NVMe speed. It outlines design space and tooling for hardware, systems, and database researchers to match workloads to SSD variants, including onboard logic. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
