Abstract
Systems and methods for modifying a usage limit of a data storage device include a host interface; integrated circuit memory cells; and a processing device coupled to the host interface to provide commands with addresses to access the integrated circuit memory cells according to the address, and configured to execute firmware to perform: operations requested by commands received via the host interface; and updates to a usage limit of the data storage device.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving a command to modify a usage limit of a data storage device from a server connected in communication with the data storage device via a network, the command including a modified usage limit;
- identifying one or more bits of the command that indicate a digital signature of the server;
- and
- updating the usage limit of the data storage device according to the modified usage limit based at least in part on identifying the one or more bits that indicate the digital signature.
1 more element
A data storage device, comprising:
- a host interface;
- integrated circuit memory cells;
- and
- a processing device coupled to the host interface to provide commands with addresses to access the integrated circuit memory cells according to the address, and configured to execute firmware to perform:
- operations requested by commands received via the host interface from a server;
- and
- updates to a usage limit of the data storage device, wherein the updates are based on a digital signature of the server in at least one command of the commands.
4 more elements
A system, comprising:
- a data storage device having a usage limit, configured to receive a modified usage limit and update the usage limit to be the modified usage limit, and including:
- a host interface;
- and
- integrated circuit memory cells;
- and
- a processing device coupled to the host interface to provide commands with addresses to access the integrated circuit memory cells according to the address, and configured to execute firmware to perform:
- operations requested by commands received via the host interface;
- and
- updates to the usage limit of the data storage device;
- and
- a server communicable with the data storage device over a network, wherein the server is configured to send a command to the data storage device to update the usage limit of the data storage device, wherein the usage limit is updated based on a digital signature in the command that is associated with the server.
