Abstract:
A storage system for managing an array of SSDs includes the array of SSDs and a host controller. Each of the SSDs is operable to store data. The host controller is configured to manage the array of SSDs as multiple logical volumes. Each of the logical volumes is associated with at least one stream ID. At least one of the SSDs and the host controller stores a system code configured to execute stream ID commands to access each of the logical volumes. Each of the logical volumes is dedicated to a memory region of each of the SSDs. Each of the logical volumes corresponding to the memory region of each of the SSDs are combined to form a logical volume group using the at least one stream ID. The host controller uses the stream ID commands to communicate with logical volumes of the logical volume group.
