Solid-state drive management and control

摘要

Various techniques of solid-state drive (“SSD”) management systems, components, modules, routines, and processes are described in this application. In one embodiment, a management engine for controlling a solid-state drive includes an input interface configured to receive a target operation profile from an input source. The management engine also includes a process component g configured to receive the target operation profile from the input interface, retrieve an operating policy from a database based on the target operation profile, and determine operating parameters for the SSD based on the retrieved operating policy. The management engine further includes a device interface coupled to the process component, the device interface being configured to transmit the determined operating parameters to the SSD for controlling operation of the SSD.

1. A method performed by a computing device having a processor in communication with a solid state drive (“SSD”), the method comprising:
with the processor,
receiving a target operation profile for the SSD;determining a value of an operating parameter for the SSD based on (i) a tradeoff between at least two of an endurance, a retention, or a performance of the SSD and (ii) the received target operation profile, the operating parameter including at least one of a cell recovery time, a retention period, or a wear leveling setting;generating an instruction to set the determined value of the operating parameter for the SSD; andtransmitting the generated instruction to the SSD for controlling operation of the SSD.
