Abstract: A device and related method, the device including a port, memory circuitry, and processing circuitry which is coupled to the port and to the memory circuitry. The processing circuitry receives multiple commands through the port, wherein the multiple commands are from at least two hosts using an interposer and wherein each command of the multiple commands includes a respective memory address and a respective port identification (ID). The processing circuitry segments each of the received commands into multiple segments, each segment being of a predetermined transfer size. The processing circuitry also transmits each segment of each command to a respective data structure instantiation corresponding to the port ID of the respective received command and performs data transfer for each segment of the multiple segments by accessing the memory circuitry at each respective memory address associated with each segment.

Abstract: A method comprises generating a first block of a block chain and generating a second block of the block chain. The first block is associated with a first component of a storage device. The first block is generated when the first component is manufactured. The second block is associated with a second component of the storage device. The second block is generated when the second component is manufactured.

Abstract: Systems and methods for location-based security of storage drives are described. In one embodiment, the systems may include a storage drive and a hardware controller. In some embodiments, the hardware controller may be configured to determine a location of the storage drive; identify a current mode of the storage drive, the storage drive including at least a secure mode and a non-secure mode; block activation of the secure mode upon determining that the storage drive is located in one of one or more non-permitted areas or not located in one of one or more permitted areas; and put the storage drive in the non-secure mode upon determining the storage drive is located in one of the one or more non-permitted areas while in the secure mode.
