Abstract
One embodiment facilitates a high-density converged storage system. During operation, the system receives, by a volatile memory of a storage device via a memory bus, data to be stored in a non-volatile memory of the same storage device. The system writes, by a controller of the storage device, the data directly to the non-volatile memory via the volatile memory, e.g., without using a serial bus protocol.
