Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a data processing method, a controller, a storage device, and a storage system. The controller adds an execution time of an IO request to the IO request, and the execution time is used to instruct the storage device to complete the IO request before the execution time expires. The controller sends, to the storage device, the IO request to which the execution time is added. When receiving the IO request, the storage device can execute the IO request based on the execution time of the IO request.

Data processing method, controller, storage device, and storage system

A storage array includes a plurality of hard disks, where each of the hard disks is divided into a plurality of chunks, and a plurality of chunks of different hard disks form a chunk group using a redundancy algorithm. The storage array obtains fault information of a faulty area in a first hard disk, and determines a faulty chunk storing the lost data according to the fault information. The storage array recovers the data in the faulty chunk using another chunk in a chunk group to which the faulty chunk belongs and stores the recovered data in a recovered chunk. The recovered chunk is located in a second hard disk which is not a hard disk for forming the chunk group.

An apparatus including a processor and a memory configured to provide an SEE and an REE. The processor is configured to provide a client application configured to execute at a user privilege level and a hypervisor configured to execute at a hypervisor privilege level. The user privilege level is more restrictive than the hypervisor privilege level. The processor is further configured to provide a trusted application configured to execute within the SEE. The trusted application provides secure services to the client application. The processor is configured to send a request for secure services from the client application to the trusted application, send a measurement request to the hypervisor, generate within the hypervisor a measured value based on the client application, return the measured value to the trusted application, and determine whether the client application is authorized to access the secure services. The authorization determination is based on the measured value.

Hypervisor measurement agent

Providing a data processing manner, wherein: a SSD compresses a data; the SSD storing the compressed data; the SSD sends a feedback information to a controller, wherein the feedback information indicates a remaining capacity of the SSD after the compressed data is stored.

Smart storage management based on dynamic logic capacity for the storage

In a method for controlling data stored in an Solid State Disk (SSD) of a data de-duplication system, a storage controller obtains stability information of a data block. The stability information comprises a reference count of the data block and a length of a period of time when the data block is stored in the SSD. The storage controller identifies a stability level of the data block according to the stability information, and sends the stability level of the data block to the SSD. The SSD moves the data block to a target block which corresponds to the stability level. Thereby, the SSD can store data blocks having a same stability level together.

Controller, flash memory apparatus, method for identifying data block stability, and method for storing data in flash memory apparatus

A method for extending life of a storage system, wherein a storage controller determines a source solid-state disk (SSD) in a disk group with a capacity usage ratio greater than an average capacity usage ratio of the disk group. The capacity usage ratio of the source SSD is a ratio of a used capacity of the source SSD to an available capacity of the source SSD. The storage controller selects at least one destination SSD in the disk group with a capacity usage ratio less than the average capacity usage ratio of the disk group. And then the storage controller calculates an amount of data to be migrated from the source SSD, based on the capacity usage ratio of the source SSD and the average capacity usage ratio. At last, the storage controller migrates the data to be migrated from the source SSD to the one or more destination SSDs.
