Abstract
A GNSD (Green NAND Solid State Drive) Driver coupled to host DRAM, and having a memory manager, a data grouper engine, a data ungrouper engine, a power manager, and a flush/resume manager. The GNSD driver is coupled to a GNSD application, and the host DRAM to a Non-Volatile Memory Device. The GNSD Driver further includes a compression/decompression engine, a de-duplication engine, an encryption/decryption engine, or a high-level error correction code engine. The encryption/decryption engine encrypts according to DES (Data Encryption Standard) or AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). A method of operating a GNSD Driver and a GNSD application coupled to DRAM of a host, includes coupling: Configuration and Register O/S Settings to the host and the GNSD Application; a data grouper and data ungrouper to the host DRAM and to Upper and a Lower Filter; a power manager and a memory manager to the host; a flush/resume manager to the DRAM; and the DRAM to an (Super Enhanced Endurance Device) SEED SSD (Solid State Drive).
