Abstract
An apparatus with a solid state drive (SSD) having firmware to farm proof of space plots stored outside of the SSD. The SSD has a communication interface configured to receive at least read commands and write commands from an external host system. The SSD has memory cells formed on at least one integrated circuit die, and a processing device configured to control executions of the read commands to retrieve data from the memory cells and executions the write commands to store data into the memory cells. The firmware is executable in the SSD to receive and store configuration data specified via a user interface to indicate a location, outside of the SSD, storing a proof of space plot that can be used by the SSD to participate in proof of space activities in a cryptocurrency network.
