Abstract
A solid-state drive (SSD) includes: a plurality of data blocks; a plurality of flash channels and a plurality of ways to access the plurality of data blocks; and an SSD controller that configures a block size of the plurality of data blocks. A data file is stored in the SSD with one or more key-values pairs, and each key-value pair has a block identifier as a key and a block data as a value. A size of the data file is equal to the block size or a multiple of the block size.
