Mechanism for updating host file system and flash translation layer based on underlying NAND technology

Abstract:

A method of operating a storage system is provided. The method includes executing an operating system on one or more processors of a compute device that is coupled to one or more solid-state drives and executing a file system on the one or more processors of the compute device. The method includes configuring the compute device with one or more replaceable plug-ins that are specific to the one or more solid-state drives, and executing a flash translation layer on the one or more processors of the compute device, with assistance through the one or more replaceable plug-ins for reading and writing the one or more solid-state drives.
