Abstract: A storage drive, including: a main module, including: a main printed circuit board (PCB) having a first side positioned opposite to a second side; flash memory components positioned on the main PCB at a first end of the storage drive, a controller module positioned on the main PCB at a second end of the storage drive opposite to the first end; and a capacitor module, including: a module printed circuit board (PCB) having a first side positioned opposite to a second side; a plurality of capacitors positioned on the module PCB on the first side of the module PCB, wherein the capacitor module is coupled to the main module such that the capacitor module is positioned at the first end of the storage drive and the first side of the capacitor module faces the first side of the main module.

Abstract: An adaptor for incorporating a function of an Open Compute Project (OCP) mezzanine card into a storage device includes a framework, a baseboard mounted to the framework and arranged to have the Open Compute Project (OCP) mezzanine card mounted thereon, an adapting part on the baseboard, the adapting part including an insertion slot for receiving a first interface of the OCP mezzanine card, and a connector on the baseboard, the connector configured to connect with the storage device, the baseboard including interconnections between the connector and the adapting part to provide for data exchange between the OCP mezzanine card and the storage device.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and apparatus for determining a physical position of a device. The method comprises: transmitting a control command to the device, the command instructing the device to change power loading of the device in a predetermined pattern; receiving, from a power distribution unit providing power supply for the device, a network address of the power distribution unit, the network address being transmitted by the power distribution unit in response to detecting the change of the power loading in the predetermined pattern; and determining the physical position of the device based at least on the network address of the power distribution unit. With the technical solution according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the position of the device can be automatically determined without any manual intervention, which helps to control the operation cost and improve the maintenance efficiency.
