MECHANISM TO AUTONOMOUSLY MANAGE SSDS IN AN ARRAY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18373711 titled 'MECHANISM TO AUTONOMOUSLY MANAGE SSDS IN AN ARRAY
Simplified Explanation
The present invention is a drive-to-drive storage system that includes a host server, one or more remote storage drives, and a peer-to-peer link connecting them. The host storage drive has a processor and memory with instructions that allow data transfer from the host storage drive to the remote storage drives when a write command is issued by the host CPU.
- The invention is a drive-to-drive storage system with a host server, remote storage drives, and a peer-to-peer link.
- The host storage drive has a processor and memory with instructions for data transfer.
- Data is transferred from the host storage drive to the remote storage drives when a write command is issued by the host CPU.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Data backup and storage systems
- Distributed file systems
- Cloud storage solutions
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient and fast data transfer between storage drives
- Reducing the load on the host CPU during data transfer
- Enabling peer-to-peer communication between storage drives
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved data transfer speed and efficiency
- Reduced strain on the host CPU
- Enhanced reliability and redundancy in storage systems
Original Abstract Submitted
Embodiments of the present invention include a drive-to-drive storage system comprising a host server having a host CPU and a host storage drive, one or more remote storage drives, and a peer-to-peer link connecting the host storage drive to the one or more remote storage drives. The host storage drive includes a processor and a memory, wherein the memory has stored thereon instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to transfer data from the host storage drive via the peer-to-peer link to the one or more remote storage drives when the host CPU issues a write command.
