    摘要: A parallel data storage system for storing data received from, or retrieving data to, a host system using multiple data storage devices. The system includes an interface for communicating with the host system and a buffer configured to store data sectors received from the host system via the interface. A switch is used to selectively connect the interface and the data storage devices to the buffer to facilitate the transfer of data into and out of the buffer. The data sectors are transferred by segmenting each sector into multiple smaller data cells and distributing these data cells among the data storage devices using an arbitrated distribution method.

    摘要: A flash storage device includes flash storage units that are purged in response to a condition or command. A flash controller interface receives a command for purging the flash storage device and provides a purge command to flash controllers in the flash storage device. Alternatively, the flash storage device detects a condition in response to which the flash controller interface provides a purge command to the flash controllers. Each flash controller independently erases a flash storage unit in response to receiving the purge command, by writing a pattern of data to the flash storage unit, such that the flash storage units are purged substantially in parallel with each other.

    摘要: A flash storage device includes flash storage units that are purged in response to a condition or command wherein, during or subsequent to the purge, the purge is verified. A flash controller interface receives a command for purging the flash storage device and provides a purge command to flash controllers in the flash storage device. Alternatively, the flash storage device detects a condition in response to which the flash controller interface provides a purge command to the flash controllers. Each flash controller independently erases a flash storage unit in response to receiving the purge command such that the flash storage units are erased substantially in parallel with each other. The purge of the flash storage device is subsequently verified.

    摘要: A flash storage device includes flash storage units that are purged in response to a condition or command while allowing the flash storage device to be used subsequent to the purge. A flash controller interface receives a command for purging the flash storage device and provides a purge command to flash controllers in the flash storage device. Alternatively, the flash storage device detects a condition in response to which the flash controller interface provides a purge command to the flash controllers. Each flash controller independently erases a flash storage unit in response to receiving the purge command such that the flash storage units are erased substantially in parallel with each other. Subsequent to the purge, certain control data is reconstructed to allow subsequent use of the flash storage device.
