Abstract
A solid state drive (SSD) includes dynamic random access memory (DRAM), flash memory, and a solid state drive (SSD) controller. The solid state drive (SSD) also includes a peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) bus to connect the SSD to a computing device such that a central processing unit (CPU) of the computing device exclusively reads data from, and writes data to, the DRAM. The SSD controller writes data to the flash memory from the DRAM independently of received commands from the computing device.
