INTERNAL COMMUNICATION INTERFACE MANAGEMENT

Abstract:

Apparatus and methods are disclosed, including enabling communication between a memory controller and multiple memory devices of a storage system using a storage-system interface, the multiple memory devices each comprising a device controller and a group of non-volatile memory cells, and compressing data using at least one of the device controllers prior to transfer over the storage-system interface to improve an effective internal data transmission speed of the storage system.
