Abstract

An apparatus with a solid state drive (SSD) having firmware to perform peer to peer transfer of proof of space plots. The SSD has a host interface configured to receive at least read commands and write commands from an external host system. The SSD has memory cells formed on at least one integrated circuit die, and a processing device configured to control executions of the read commands to retrieve data from the memory cells and executions the write commands to store data into the memory cells. The firmware is executable in the SSD according to configuration data to: identify an opportunity for a transfer of a proof of space plot; establish a peer to peer connection to a device that is separate from the solid state drive; and transfer, over the peer to peer connection, the proof of space plot between the solid state drive and the device.
