Abstract
Embodiments of the inventive concept include a non-volatile memory module array system. The system can include non-volatile memory modules each including a first port, a second port, solid state drives, a switch, and a port configuration logic section. The system can include a bus connected to the first or second ports. The system can include a host to communicate with the non-volatile memory modules via the bus. The port configuration logic section can toggle between a first port configuration associated with the second port and a second port configuration associated with the second port. The port configuration logic section can include a first non-volatile configuration section to store the first and second port configurations associated with the second port. The first port configuration can cause the second port to operate as a downstream port. The second port configuration can cause the second port to operate as an upstream port.
