Abstract: A controller of a storage device is described for handling communications with a host device. In some examples, the storage device includes a wide port comprising a plurality of phys. The wide port is configured to receive, via a first phy of the plurality of phys, a signal. The controller is configured to select, based on a respective power factor associated with each respective phy of the plurality of phys and a respective performance factor associated with each respective phy of the plurality of phys, a second phy of the plurality of phys to utilize for performing an operation associated with the received signal. In such examples, the wide port is further configured to perform, using the second phy, the operation associated with the received signal.

Abstract: A method is provided that includes reading data in a storage medium, detecting, during the reading of the data in the storage medium, by a controller a change in an encryption/decryption scheme used to read and write the data in the storage medium, in response to detecting the change in encryption/decryption scheme in the data, causing, by the controller, a logical block address to return an indication of being written in zeros when a physical block address associated with the logical block address encrypted using an first encryption/decryption scheme, and causing, by the controller, a write channel to write zeroes using a second encryption/decryption scheme to the physical block address.

Abstract: A method and arrangement are disclosed involving receiving a read-type command at a data storage arrangement, calculating a command span of the received read-type command and performing a look-up command, through use of a processor, for data located in each extent at a condensed logical block address state table for the read-type command, wherein the condensed logical block address state table describes a logical to physical table and at least one of transmitting data and displaying data related to the read-type command found in the condensed logical block address state table.

Abstract: A method and arrangement for providing warnings based upon potential security compromising actions is discussed. Monitoring of system changes, temperature, humidity, power levels and reconfiguration of system components is performed and compared to threshold levels, with warning generated when monitored conditions fall outside of expected bounds.

Abstract: A method for control of latency information through logical block addressing is described comprising receiving a computer command, performing a read flow operation on a computer buffer memory based on the computer command; populating at least one metadata frame with data based on logical block address latency information; initiating a serial attached data path transfer for one of transmitting and receiving data to the computer drive and transmitting data to a host based on the second latency.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes logical to physical tables that are configured to provide multiple sector support and provide for help in processing of data when a sector is mapped or unmapped. In the cases where sectors are unmapped, the present disclosure provides mechanisms to concurrently support multiple unique unmapped data patterns depending upon the specific type of unmapped sector.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to managing phys of a data storage target device. In one embodiment, a method of automatically managing phys of a data storage target device by a controller of the data storage device across a link reset includes transmitting a common target phy address for a plurality of target phys during a first link reset, storing the common target phy address in a non-volatile memory of the data storage device, resetting the target phys, and transmitting the stored common target phy address for the plurality of target phys during a second link reset. In another embodiment, a method of automatically managing phys of a data storage target device by a controller of the data storage device includes matching a received host address for a plurality of target phys and configuring the plurality of target phys into a wide port for the plurality of target phys with the matched received host address.
