Abstract
A system, according to one embodiment, includes: an enclosure, a bay coupled to the enclosure, the bay being for storing at least one solid state drive therein, and a computer coupled to the enclosure. The computer includes a central processing unit, and a wireless access point coupled to the enclosure, the wireless access point being coupled to the central processing unit. Moreover, the wireless access point is for wirelessly transferring data received from the central processing unit to at least one solid state drive stored in the bay. Other systems, methods, and computer program products are described in additional embodiments.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- an enclosure, wherein the enclosure comprises a bay, the bay being configured to store a solid state drive therein;
- a computer physically coupled to the enclosure, the computer comprising a central processing unit;
- and
- a wireless access point physically coupled to the enclosure, the wireless access point being physically electrically coupled to the central processing unit,
- wherein the wireless access point is configured to wirelessly transfer data received from the central processing unit directly to a solid state drive controller within the solid state drive stored in the bay via a direct wireless connection between the wireless access point and the solid state drive.
A method, comprising:
- establishing a direct wireless connection between a wireless access point and a solid state drive;
- and
- transferring data wirelessly from the wireless access point directly to a solid state drive controller within the solid state drive via the direct wireless connection between the wireless access point and the solid state drive,
- wherein the wireless access point is physically electrically coupled to a central processing unit,
- wherein the solid state drive is stored in a bay,
- wherein the wireless access point and the central processing unit are physically coupled to a common enclosure, wherein the enclosure comprises the bay.
A computer program product, comprising:
- a computer readable medium having stored thereon computer readable program instructions executable by a processor of a computer system to:
- establish, by the processor, a direct wireless connection between a wireless access point and a solid state drive;
- and
- transfer, by the processor, data wirelessly from the wireless access point directly to a solid state drive controller within the solid state drive via the direct wireless connection between the wireless access point and the solid state drive,
- wherein the wireless access point is physically electrically coupled to a central processing unit,
- wherein the wireless access point is physically electrically coupled to a controller,
- wherein the solid state drive is stored in a bay,
- wherein the wireless access point and the central processing unit are physically coupled to a common enclosure, wherein the enclosure comprises the bay.
