Abstract: A rack-mountable data storage system includes: a chassis including one or more switchboards; a midplane interfacing with the one or more switchboards; and one or more data storage devices removably coupled to the midplane using a connector. At least one data storage device of the one or more data storage devices include a logic device to interface with the midplane. The logic device provides a device-specific interface of a corresponding data storage device with the midplane. The at least one data storage device is configured using the logic device according to a first protocol based on a signal on a pin of the connector, and the at least one data storage device is reconfigurable according to a second protocol based on a change of the signal on the pin of the connector using the logic device.

Abstract: A system is disclosed that provides emergency backup power to a solid-state drive (SSD) that may not contain any internal supercapacitors. The SSD may include a first connector and a hold-up power supply. The first connector may have a predetermined form factor and may being capable of being connected to a corresponding connector of a midplane of a storage system. The first connector may include a main power connection that is connected to a main power supply of the midplane if the first connector is connected to the corresponding connector of the midplane. The hold-up power supply may be internal to the SSD, and may receive hold-up energy from an external energy source for a predetermined amount of time after the first connector has been disconnected from the main power connection of the midplane so that the SSD may store any host data write requests that the SSD has acknowledged.
