Microsoft says it's looking to implement DMA (direct memory access) between SSD and GPU using DirectStorage: "We are looking into supporting this in the future, but there's some more work we need to do in order for this functionality to be robust enough to include in Windows."
May eventually support external storage
PCIe 3.0 drives supported
DirecStorage uses its own compression algorithm, new class of compression tech
Does not require GDK on Windows
DirectCompute - Allows DirectStorage to run on existing GPUs
