The new version offers enhanced performance for data ingestion and upload, making it easier and faster for enterprise customers to migrate large-scale data to Azure without needing extensive on-premises network infrastructure. Key advancements include-
115
115
- NVMe devices offer faster data transfer rates, with copy speeds up to 7GBps via SMB Direct on RDMA (100-GbE) for medium to large files, a 10x improvement in device transfers as compared to previous generation devices.
116

-When using the data copy service, there is significant performance improvement ranging from 2x for small sized files (64K-512K), to up to 7x for large files (8 MB to 128 MB). The data copy service runs locally on the Data Box, connects to the user’s network-attached storage (NAS) device via the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol, and copies data to Data Box. This eliminates the need for an intermediate host to ingest data.
