Abstract
A data protection system having a host, a solid-state drive ('SSD') array comprising at least three non-volatile memory express ('NVMe') drives, each NVMe drive comprising a buffer, and a peripheral component interconnect express (“PCIe”) data bus interfacing the host and the NVMe drives. The NVMe drives are implemented with commands for implementing a RAID volume in the SSD array, wherein the commands are operable to perform RAID operations at the NVMe drives using the buffers of the NVMe drives.
