  • Publication number: 20240020228
    Abstract: An embodiment of an electronic apparatus may include one or more substrates, and logic coupled to the one or more substrates, the logic to control access to two or more persistent storage devices, wherein at least one of the two or more persistent storage devices is to be logically organized with a namespace divided into two or more zones, determine two or more different zone size dependent parameters associated with the two or more persistent storage devices, determine a smallest aligned boundary based on each of the two or more different zone size dependent parameters, and set a zone group size for access to the two or more persistent storage devices based on the determined smallest aligned boundary. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

  • Patent number: 10467148
    Abstract: A system and an operating method thereof include a system on chip (SOC) flash controller having at least one SOC channel; at least one memory device coupled with the at least one SOC channel; a printed circuit board (PCB), wherein the SOC flash controller and the at least one memory device are mounted thereon; a flash address translation (FTL) address translator automatically managing the at least one memory device in accordance with a PCB board configuration file of the PCB board and a drive configuration file of the at least one memory device; and a fuse storing an open data plane (ODP) fuse setting generated in accordance with at least in part with data of the PCB board configuration file and the drive configuration file.
