FMS 2023: Optimal Testing of SSD Low Power States


At FMS 2023, the Symbiosys Alliance booth featured a demonstration of advanced test and validation solutions for SSD low power sub-states.

SerialTek Kodiak protocol analyzer, Quarch Power Analysis tools, and SANBlaze SBExpress-DT5 test system


Presenting on this topic, Anthony Andrews, Sr. Software Engineer at SerialTek, showed how QA teams can use these tools to ensure compliance and meet sustainability goals.

To demonstrate the optimal testing procedures of low power sub-states, Anthony used tools from three Symbiosys Alliance companies, including SerialTek's Kodiak protocol analyzer, Power Analysis tools from Quarch, and the SANBlaze SBExpress-DT5 test system.

These complementary technologies will allow participants to see a real-world end-to-end test environment for full transparency.
