Abstract
A flash-based storage warehouse system includes flash memory devices and reader/writer devices that are moveable to different locations in a structure. Each of the flash memory devices are at one of the different locations in the structure. Each of the reader/writer devices includes a locomotion apparatus configured to move the corresponding one of the reader/writer devices to a different location in the structure and a processor coupled to a memory and the locomotion apparatus that is configured to execute machine executable code to: engage the locomotion apparatus to adjustably position one of reader/writer devices to one of the locations in the structure in response to a received operation; couple power via the corresponding one of the reader/writer devices to one of the flash memory devices at the one of the locations in the structure; and execute the operation on the flash memory device at the location in the structure.
