Microsoft releases DirectStorage 1.2 SDK

@ 2023/04/21
According to the release notes, the new DirectStorage 1.2 will bring the so-called forced buffered IO. Earlier DirectStorage version opened files in unbuffered mode, which avoided unnecessary copies and pushed the data onto the GPU as fast as possible, which is great for SSDs, but some developers requested the buffered IO, which usually means faster performance on legacy hard disk drives (HDDs).
