I'm not suggesting the SSD shouldn't have it's own CPU, I'm just suggesting it be dumbed down and not run complex and potentially buggy wear leveling algorithms

I'm not suggesting the SSD shouldn't have it's own CPU, I'm just suggesting it be dumbed down and not run complex and potentially buggy wear leveling algorithms pushing those up the stack.
- feld 12y agoSure, if you never want a drive warranty. Because they'll probably end up blaming your OS for trashing the flash.
- al2o3cr 12y agoSo your suggestion for reducing the bugginess of wear-leveling algorithms is to remove them from a dedicated, known-at-compile-time dedicated hardware environment and instead run them on whatever mystery-meat general-purpose stuff the user has? Can I get a hit off whatever you've got over there? ;)
- jrockway 12y agoHis suggestion is to not trust random hacked-together-for-a-last-second-release vendor code, and instead use a continuously-developed firmware developed in the open with tests and a broad userbase. The first rule of hardware is that hardware companies can't write software.
