Abstract: A solid-state memory device has memory devices and memory sticks. Each memory stick is coupled to a subset of the memory devices. A controller provides parallel access to the memory devices through the memory sticks to provide a virtualized memory device and to present to a host a single non-volatile storage unit with a total capacity based on capacities of the memory devices. The controller operates according to a memory mapping that map memory requests from the host to the memory devices. The memory devices, memory sticks, and the controller can be disposed within a rack unit housing that is shaped and sized to fit a data-center rack or cabinet. One or more wireless interfaces can connect the controller to a memory stick and connect a memory device to a memory stick for wireless communications of instructions and data within the solid-state memory device.

Abstract: A solid-state memory device includes a physical port, an interface controller connected to the physical port, a serial peripheral interface, and a plurality of memory card sticks connected to the serial peripheral interface. Each memory card stick has a plurality of memory cards. The solid-state memory device further includes a controller core connected between the interface controller and the serial peripheral interface. The controller core is configured to present to a host connected at the physical connector a single non-volatile storage unit with a total capacity substantially equal to a sum of capacities of the plurality of memory card sticks.
