    Abstract: Data storage system connectors are described for a parallel array of dense memory cards that allow high airflow. In one example, a connector has a horizontal plane board having a plurality of memory connectors aligned in a row and a plurality of external interfaces, a plurality of memory cards, each having an edge connector at one end of the memory card to connect to a respective memory connector of the board, each memory card extending horizontally parallel to each other memory card and extending vertically and orthogonally from the board, and a plurality of interface connectors each to connect an edge connector to a respective board connector, the interface connectors extending horizontally from the one end of the memory cards and vertically to the respective plane board connector.

    Abstract: Provided are an apparatus, system and method for offloading data transfer operations between source and destination storage devices to a hardware accelerator. The hardware accelerator includes a memory space and control logic to receive, from a host processor, a command descriptor indicating at least one source storage device having transfer data to transfer to at least one destination storage device and a computational task to perform on the transfer data. The control logic sends read commands to the at least one source storage device to read the transfer data to at least one read buffer in the memory space and performs the computational task on the transfer data to produce modified transfer data. The control logic writes the modified transfer data to at least one write buffer in the memory space to cause the modified transfer data to be written to the at least one destination storage device.
