Abstract
Data storage systems are disclosed. In some implementations, a data storage device includes a controller coupled to a plurality of memory devices to control memory operations of the plurality of memory devices, and including M communication lanes, and an interface device configured to include N communication lanes to be connected to a host device that includes N communication lanes and to the M communication lanes of the controller, wherein the interface device includes a connector configured to connect the N communication lanes of the host device to the N communication lanes of the interface device, and a selector configured to, in response to a host port type identification signal received from the host device, selectively activate M communication lanes of the interface device, out of the N communication lanes of the interface device, to transmit or receive the data to or from the M communication lanes of the controller.
