  • EDGE-CASE TESTING FOR SOLID STATE DRIVE SHUTDOWN DURING POWER LOSS
    Publication number: 20240329855
    Abstract: In one general embodiment, a method includes storing a list of states for testing the effects of power loss by a solid state drive. Selection of one or more of the states is received. The solid state drive is instructed to generate an interrupt upon detecting the one or more of the selected states. The interrupt triggers a power loss to the solid state drive. The solid state drive is caused to perform a workload. In another general embodiment, a method includes receiving, by a solid state drive, instructions to generate an interrupt upon detecting a specified state of the solid state drive during processing of a workload. The workload is processed. The specified state is detected by the solid state drive while processing the workload. The interrupt is generated in response to detecting the specified state. The interrupt triggers a power loss to the solid state drive.
