Two years ago, AMD revealed StoreMI, a caching technology that promised to load files from HDDs at SSD-like speeds. For unknown reasons, AMD is now discontinuing StoreMI. Since last week, the software is no longer available via AMD's website and existing users will receive no further updates.

AMD says it's working on a new technology, which it aims to release in Q2 2020. In the meantime, customers can use Enmotus FuzeDrive , which starts at $19.99. AMD's StoreMI was based on Enmotus FuzeDrive technology.
AMD has decided to end-of-life the current version of the StoreMI technology, and effective March 31, 2020, AMD will no longer make this technology available for download on AMD.com. End users who download the current version of the StoreMI technology prior to March 31, 2020 may continue to use it thereafter (i.e. it will not be deactivated) but AMD will no longer provide any technical or end user support. Instead, AMD will focus its internal development resources on a replacement solution with a rearchitected feature set and a planned release window of 2Q20.

Those seeking a storage acceleration solution after March 31, 2020 may wait for the new AMD solution, or may seek an alternative solution such as Enmotus FuzeDrive. AMD does not advise or encourage users to download the current version of the StoreMI technology from mirror or Internet download sites.

These sites are NOT AUTHORIZED to distribute this technology, AMD does not review their downloads to confirm they are authentic, and AMD cannot ensure the safety or reliability of any such downloads.
