Abstract
In one embodiment, a data storage system, includes a controller and a plurality of solid state memory devices each including at least one memory unit. The controller includes a data interface of a first type, a data interface of a second type, and a first serial data bus. Each of the data interfaces of the first and second types is configured to be coupled to a corresponding data interface of a host device. The first serial data bus is coupled to each of the data interfaces of the first and second types and to the plurality of solid state memory devices. The controller is configured to manage data flow between the plurality of solid state memory devices and the host device through the data interfaces of the first and second types.
