Microsoft is allowing Windows 10 Pro for Workstations to run on devices with “high performance configurations”, including server-grade Intel Xeon and AMD Opteron processors that would normally require Windows Server. On a typical desktop PC, they almost certainly won’t. Look under the “RDMA Capable” column to see whether they support RDMA. Type “ Get-SmbServerNetworkInterface” at the prompt and press Enter. Right-click the Start button on Windows 10 and select “PowerShell (Admin)” to open PowerShell as Administrator. You can check whether your network adapters are RDMA-capable through PowerShell. If you don’t have network adapters that support RDMA, this feature won’t help you. Once again, you need high-end hardware that isn’t available on a typical consumer desktop PC to do this. Such applications benefit from faster transfer of large amounts of data, lower latency when accessing data, and low CPU utilization even when transferring a large amount of data very quickly.
SMB Direct requires network adapters that support Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA).Īs Microsoft puts it, “Network adapters that have RDMA can function at full speed with very low latency, while using very little CPU.” This aids applications that access large amounts of data on remote SMB ( Windows network file sharing) shares over the network. This edition of Windows 10 includes SMB Direct, a feature also available on Windows Server. It’s very high-end hardware right now, and if you don’t have the expensive hardware, you can’t take advantage of this feature anyway. The reason we don’t all use NVDIMM-N memory today is because it’s much more expensive than normal RAM.
The data doesn’t need to be stored on a slower disk and moved back and forth between memory and storage. This allows demanding applications to access important data as quickly as possible. This memory is as fast to access and write to as normal RAM, but the data stored in it won’t be erased when your computer shoots down-that’s what the non-volatile part means. NVDIMM-N is a non-volatile type of memory. Windows 10 Pro for Workstations supports NVDIMM-N hardware. It’s unclear whether Microsoft is fixing this limitation for Windows 10 Pro for Workstations, or simply allowing users to format any drive with the ReFS file system. This means ReFS can’t fully replace NTFS. At the moment, Windows 10 can’t actually boot from ReFS, so there’s no way to format your system drive as ReFS.
