A die command from a requestor is received. The die command into a die command queue is stored. The die command from the die command queue into a plurality of partition commands is partitioned. The plurality of partition commands into one of a first plurality of partition command queues or a second plurality of partition command queues is mapped. The partition command of the first plurality of partition command queues or the second plurality of partition command queues is issued to a command processor to be applied to the one or more memory devices.

In an example, a device includes: a printed circuit board (PCB); at least one solid state drive (SSD) connected at a first side of the PCB via at least one SSD connector; at least one field programmable gate array (FPGA) mounted on the PCB at a second side of the PCB; and at least one connector attached to the PCB at a third side of the PCB, wherein the device is configured to operate in a first speed from a plurality of operating speeds based on a first input received via the at least one connector.

A method of decommissioning a key in a decryption storage system includes scanning a storage system to identify metadata associated with a current key to be decommissioned. The method further includes encrypting, with the current key, data corresponding to the metadata to generate encrypted data. The method further includes decrypting the encrypted data with a target key to generate decrypted data. The method further includes modifying, by a processing device, the metadata to identify the target key to generate modified metadata. The method further includes storing the decrypted data and the modified metadata to the storage system.

Disclosed is a system for collecting data from an automated plant having a field device connected for communication and for exchanging telegrams with a superordinate unit by means of a communication loop using a first protocol. The system includes a hat rail; and a terminal module mounted on the hat rail and embodied to monitor telegrams transmitted from the field device to the superordinate unit via the communication loop. The terminal module is further embodied to convert monitored telegrams into a second protocol and to output the converted telegrams. The system further includes a head module mounted on the hat rail and connected with the terminal module. The electronics unit of the head module is embodied to convert telegrams output from the terminal module into a third protocol to output them via the first network interface.

Container-image layers can be managed. For example, a computing device can determine a first score for a first layer of a container image and a second score for a second layer of the container image. The computing device can determine that the first score corresponds to a first storage destination among several possible storage destinations. The computing device can also determine that the second score corresponds to a second storage destination among the possible storage destinations. The second storage destination can be different from the first storage destination. The computing device can then store (i) the first layer in the first storage destination based on the first layer being correlated to the first score, and (ii) the second layer in the second storage destination based on the second layer being correlated to the second score.

An interface is instantiated for receiving storage requests for storing data in a software-defined storage network using an append-only storage scheme. The interface receives requests that are agnostic of interfaces and hardware-specific details of the storage devices of the software-defined storage network. A request comprises an identifier of a data object to be stored in the software-defined storage network using the append-only storage scheme. Metadata is generated for the data object indicating that the data object is an append-only object; and the request is translated to instructions for storing the data object in the storage devices using the append-only storage scheme. The data object is stored at one of the plurality of storage devices based on the instructions. The metadata is updated to indicate a mapping between the data object and a stored location of the data object.

A solid state drive having a drive aggregator and multiple component solid state drives. The drive aggregator associates the host interfaces with different logical address spaces, interprets commands received from the host interfaces in the different logical address spaces, and implements the commands using the plurality of component solid state drives. Some of the host interfaces can be configured to share a common logical address space. Some of the logical address spaces can be configured to have an overlapping region that are hosted on the same set of memory units such that the memory units can be addressed in any of the logical address spaces having the overlapping region.

A method of performing a full data reconstruction in a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) system with a protection pool of storage units includes determining that a physical disk of a storage cluster has been removed from service. The physical disk includes a set of physical extents and at least one physical extent of the set of physical extents is associated with an array of physical extents distributed across physical disks of the storage cluster. The method further includes transmitting a message to of the physical disks, to allocate replacement physical extents and assign the replacement physical extents to the array of physical extents and initiating reconstruction of data from the set of physical extents of the physical disk to the replacement physical extents.

A data storage device and method for host-initiated cached read to recover corrupted data within timeout constraints are provided. In one embodiment, a data storage device is provided comprising a volatile memory, a non-volatile memory, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive a read look-ahead command from a host to perform a read look-ahead of a first logical address; receive a read command from the host to read a second logical address; and execute the read look-ahead command by performing the following as background operations while executing the read command: read data for a location in the non-volatile memory that corresponds to the first logical address; correct an error in the data; and cache the corrected data in the volatile memory. The cached corrected data can be sent back to the host in response to the host requesting a read of the same logical address. Other embodiments are provided.

A plurality of computing devices are communicatively coupled to each other via a network, and each of the plurality of computing devices is operably coupled to one or more of a plurality of storage devices. Data communication is made more efficient by removing the need to copy data in the networking stack, using hardware accelerated end-to-end checksum calculation, and supporting transmission formatting of data and header for special cases.
