More Information
Summary:A solid state disk (SSD) storage system with a parallel accessing architecture, including a SSD controller and a plurality of transmission interfaces of a predetermined bit number and bandwidth, and a solid state disk controller thereof are provided. The SD controller forms channels for transmitting control signals and data with one or more flash memories through each of the transmission interfaces. That is, independent transmission channels are constituted between the SSD controller, the transmission interfaces with multiple bits, and the flash memories. In one embodiment, the transmission interfaces are compatible with MMC 4.0 protocol or higher. Moreover, a host controls and accesses the flash memories through a SATA bus interface and the SSD controller, and uses a direct memory access (DMA) engine with a bidirectional connection port in the SSD controller to transmit data.
