Abstract
A flash storage device provides direct memory access based on a first communication protocol. A host selects the first communication protocol and provides a request to the flash storage device for a direct memory access. Additionally, the host provides data blocks to the flash storage device for the direct memory access. In the first communication protocol, the host need not provide an address to the flash storage device for the direct memory access. The flash storage device stores the data blocks at sequential addresses starting at a predetermined address in the flash storage device. Another host may then select a second communication protocol and transfer the data blocks in the flash storage by using the second communication protocol.
