Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a solid-state storage device. In one arrangement, the storage device comprises a memory device comprising one of an atomic resolution storage (ARS) device and a magnetic random access memory (MRAM) device, a controller, and an integral connector that is used to directly connect the storage device to another device.
Claims17
A solid-state storage device, comprising:
- a memory device comprising one of an atomic resolution storage (ARS) device and a magnetic random access memory (MRAM) device;
- a controller including a connector interface, a buffer system, a processor, and a memory device interface;
- and
- an integral connector that is used to directly connect the storage device to another device.
A solid-state storage device, comprising:
- at least one atomic resolution storage (ARS) device;
- a controller including a connector interface, a buffer system, a processor, and a memory device interface;
- and
- an integral universal serial bus (USB) connector that is used to directly connect the storage device to another device.
A solid-state storage device, comprising:
- at least one magnetic random access memory (MRAM) device;
- a controller including a connector interface, a buffer system, a processor, and a memory device interface;
- and
- an integral universal serial bus (USB) connector that is used to directly connect the storage device to another device.
A method for facilitating writing and reading data, comprising the steps of:
- providing a storage device including a memory device comprising one of an atomic solution storage (ARS) device and a magnetic random access memory (MRAM) device and a controller including a connector interface, a buffer system, a processor, and a memory device interface;
- and
- directly connecting the storage device to another device that is to write data to or read a from the storage device using an integral USB connector of the storage device so that the data can be written or read.
