Abstract
A system and method for providing erasure code data protection for an array of solid state drives. The solid state drives are connected to an Ethernet switch which includes a RAID control circuit, or a state machine, to process read or write commands that may be received from a remote host. The RAID control circuit, if present, uses a low-latency cache to execute write commands, and the state machine, if present, uses a local central processing unit, which in turn uses a memory as a low-latency cache, to similar effect.
