Abstract
A high performance computer data storage array stores data across a plurality of disk drives. The disk drives may be solid-state drives (SSDs). The storage array may utilize the Serial Attached Small Computer Systems Interface (SAS) protocol, meaning that the disk drives may have high data throughput capabilities. Circuitry within the storage array may leverage the individual capabilities of the high-performance SAS SSDs to increase the overall performance of the storage array. The storage array can function as a network-attached system and/or as a component of a storage area network.
