Abstract
A multi-standard protocol storage device can include a non-volatile memory, a first interface controller, a second interface controller, and at least one pin. The non-volatile memory can be accessed according to a non-volatile memory protocol. The first interface controller can be configured to convert first commands in a first standardized protocol to the non-volatile memory protocol and the second interface controller can be configured to convert second commands in a second standardized protocol to the non-volatile memory protocol. The at least one pin of the device is configured to conduct a recognition signal thereon indicating whether the first or second standardized protocol is used by a host coupled thereto and that conducts data signals according to the first and second standardized protocols.
