Springer Book: Inside Solid State Drives (SSDs)

Springer Series in Advanced Microelectronics has published a book on SSD technologies with for editors Rino Micheloni, Alessia Marelli, Microsemi Corporation, Vimercate, Italy, and Kam Eshghi, Lightbits Labs, San Jose, CA, USA, and a lot of contributors.

The revised second edition of this text provides an overview of the main topics relating to SSDs, covering NAND flash memories, memory controllers (including booth hardware and software), I/O interfaces (PCIe/SAS/SATA), reliability, error correction codes (BCH and LDPC), encryption, flash signal processing and hybrid storage.

Updated throughout to include all recent work in the field, significant changes for this edition include:

• A new chapter on flash memory errors and data recovery procedures in SSDs for reliability and lifetime improvement

• Updated coverage of SSD Architecture and PCIe interfaces moving from PCIe Gen3 to PCIe Gen4 and including a section on NVMe over fabric (NVMf)

• An additional section on 3D flash memories

• An update on standard reliability procedures for SSDs

• Expanded coverage of BCH for SSDs, with a specific section on detection

• A new section on non-binary Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes, the most recent advancement in the field

• A description of randomization in the protection of SSD data against attacks, particularly relevant to 3D architectures

The SSD market is booming, with many industries placing a huge effort in this space, spending billions of dollars in R&D and product development. Moreover, flash manufacturers are now moving to 3D architectures, thus enabling an even higher level of storage capacity. This book takes the reader through the fundamentals and brings them up to speed with the most recent developments in the field, and is suitable for advanced students, researchers and engineers alike.
