APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR MANAGING DATA USING A DATA PIPELINE

摘要

An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for managing data in a solid-state storage device (102). A solid-state(storage (110) and solid-state controller (104) are included. The solid-state storage controller (104) includes a write data pipeline (106) and a read data pipeline (108). The write data pipeline (106) includes a packetizer (302))and anECC generator (304). The packetizer (302) receives a data segment and creates one or more data packets sized for the solid-state storage (110). The ECC generator (304) generates one or more error-correcting codes ("ECC") for the data packets received from the packetizer (302). The read data pipeline (108) includes an ECC correction module (322), a depacketizer (324), and an alignment module (326). The ECC correction module (322) reads a data packet from solid-state storage (110), determines if a data error exists using corresponding ECC and corrects errors. The depacketizer (324) checks and removes one or more packet headers. The alignment module (326) removes unwanted data, and re-formats the data as data segments of an object.
