Abstract: Embodiments of the inventive concept include solid state drive (SSD) multi-card adapters that can include multiple solid state drive cards, which can be incorporated into existing enterprise servers without major architectural changes, thereby enabling the server industry ecosystem to easily integrate evolving solid state drive technologies into servers. The SSD multi-card adapters can include an interface section between various solid state drive cards and drive connector types. The interface section can perform protocol translation, packet switching and routing, data encryption, data compression, management information aggregation, virtualization, and other functions.

Abstract: Embodiments of the inventive concept include Open Cloud Server (OCS)-compliant and other enterprise servers having high-density modular non-volatile flash memory blades and associated multi-card modules. A modular non-volatile flash memory blade can be seated within a 1 U tray. The flash memory blade can include a server motherboard and multiple non-volatile flash memory blade multi-card modules. Each of the multi-card modules can include a printed circuit board, a switch coupled to the printed circuit board, a module power port, an input/output port, and riser card slots to receive solid state drive riser cards. The solid state drive riser cards can be seated within a corresponding riser card slot of the multi-card modules, and can each include multiple solid state drive chips. The server motherboard can communicate with the solid state drive chips via the cable connector riser cards and associated cables. The switch can expand each upstream port to multiple downstream ports associate with the solid state drive chips.

Abstract: A system includes a dynamic random-access memory (DRAM); and a storage device comprising a power source and a persistent store. The storage device is configured to provide reserve power to the DRAM. Data stored in the DRAM is transferred to a reserved storage in the persistent store of the storage device in a power loss event using the reserve power.

Abstract: A method includes: preconditioning a reference solid-state drive (SSD) to a steady state by writing to physical media of the reference SSD; transferring metadata of the reference SSD to an application; storing the metadata of the reference SSD in a persistent storage; normalizing the metadata of the reference SSD to a target SSD; and applying the normalized metadata to the target SSD to precondition the target SSD to the steady state.

Abstract: An electronic system includes: a host processor; a system memory, coupled to the host processor, includes data persistence regions identified by the host processor; a non-volatile storage device, including a fast path write (FPW) reserved area, configured to store user data from the system memory in a non-volatile media; and a power monitor unit, coupled to the host processor, configured to detect a power loss by a primary power failure detector and assert a power-loss detection control; and wherein the host processor is configured to engage a RAM flush driver for moving the content of the data persistence regions to a fast path write (FPW) reserved area in the non-volatile media when the power-loss detection control is asserted.
