Cloud-based solid state device (ssd) with dynamically variable error correcting code (ecc) system

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer executable instructions that when executed by a computer control the computer to perform a method for computing and storing error correction codes (ECCs) in a solid state device (SSD), the method comprising:

• accessing electronic forensic data about the SSD;
• identifying an attribute associated with a data set to be stored by the SSD;
• selecting an error correcting code (ECC) approach based, at least in part, on the electronic forensic data and the attribute;
• generating a threshold amount of ECCs associated with the data set based, at least in part, on the ECC approach;
• splitting the threshold amount of ECCs into a first ECC block and a second ECC block;
• generating a padded first ECC block by padding the first ECC block with redundant data;
• generating a padded second ECC block by padding the second ECC block with redundant data, and
• controlling the SSD to store the padded first ECC block in a first page of the SSD, and to store the padded second ECC block in a second, different page of the SSD.

An error correction code (ECC) apparatus, comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory;
• a set of logics;
• and
• an interface that connects the processor, the memory, and the set of logics;
• the set of logics comprising:
• a performance analysis logic that analyzes performance data concerning a solid state device (SSD) to which a data set is to be stored by the ECC apparatus;
• an ECC approach logic that dynamically and selectively controls an ECC approach performed by the ECC apparatus based, at least in part, on the performance data or a property of the data set;
• an ECC generation logic that dynamically generates a non-empty set of ECC based, at least in part, on the ECC approach and the data set, and
• a storage logic that selectively distributes a portion of the data set and a portion of the set of ECC to the SSD, based, at least in part, on the performance data or the property of the data set.
