    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for a host device to request and obtain failure information from a solid state drive (SSD). In operation, an error is detected during an operation associated with a solid state drive. Additionally, a command to return failure information is provided to the solid state drive by a host device. Further, the failure information is sent from the solid state drive to the host device, the failure information including failure information associated with the solid state drive.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods of device firmware update effects as seen by a computing host. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a method includes executing a first firmware received from a computing host, the first firmware including a first firmware revision identifier, executing a second firmware received from the computing host, and returning the first firmware revision identifier to the computing host during the execution of the second firmware and before an event occurs. The returning the first firmware revision identifier enables the computing host to continue executing without detecting an error in response to a change in a value of a returned firmware revision identifier throughout the execution of the first firmware and during execution of the second firmware.

    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for ordering a plurality of write commands associated with a storage device. In operation, a plurality of write commands associated with a storage device to be sent to a device are identified. Additionally, an order of the plurality of write commands is determined, the determined order being known by the device. Further, the plurality of write commands are ordered in the determined order.

    Abstract: A bridge receives a power down command and in response converts the power down command to a data hardening command. The bridge issues the data hardening command to a solid state disk. In response to the data hardening command, data stored on the solid state disk is hardened. The hardening comprises writing data in volatile memory to non-volatile memory. The data that is hardened comprises user data and protected data. The data hardening command optionally comprises one or more of a flush cache command, a sleep command, and a standby immediate command.

    Abstract: Management of device firmware update effects as seen by a computing host enables continuously running an OS on the host across a device firmware update, e.g., via delaying visibility of at least a portion of effects of the firmware update, such as in a context where without the delay in visibility the OS would encounter an unrecoverable error and crash. For example, a device (e.g. an SSD) is coupled to a computing host running an unmodified version of Windows. Firmware on the device is updated/activated, such as by being booted. Visibility of a portion of information that would otherwise become immediately visible to the OS (upon activation of updated firmware) is delayed until a power cycle of the device. If the portion includes, e.g., a firmware revision identifier, then the delayed visibility enables continuously running the OS across the firmware update/activation without rebooting the OS.
