Publisher's Synopsis
The revised second edition of this respected text provides a state-of-the-art overview of the main topics relating to solid state drives (SSDs), covering NAND flash memories, memory controllers (including booth hardware and software), I/O interfaces (PCIe/SAS/SATA), reliability, error correction codes (BCH and LDPC), encryption, flash signal processing and hybrid storage.
Updated throughout to include all recent work in the field, significant changes for the new edition include:
- A new chapter on flash memory errors and data recovery procedures in SSDs for reliability and lifetime improvement
- Updated coverage of SSD Architecture and PCI Express Interfaces moving from PCIe Gen3 to PCIe Gen4 and including a section on NVMe over fabric (NVMf)
- An additional section on 3D flash memories
- An update on standard reliability procedures for SSDs
- Expanded coverage of BCH for SSDs, with a specific section on detection
- A new section on non-binary Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes, the most recent advancement in the field
- A description of randomization in the protection of SSD data against attacks, particularly relevant to 3D architectures
